I see there's the request-tracker4 package in Wheezy so it looks like
the way to move from request-tracker3.8 for the current users of this
package.
So my question is: is there some upgrade path the users of
request-tracker3.8 may follow to convert their current installs to the
new package? I'm mostly concerned with the database, the settings and
custom "scrips".

I've tried to migrate from 3.8 to 4 with packaged documentation,
and suceeded to do so.

# RT4 itself distributes database migration script from older version.

bring any issues out of the woodwork before it is removed altogether
(having it unstable for a little while long will also be useful for
maintaining backports, should there be further upstream releases).

Oh, also request-tracker3.8 can't go away without
- rtfm
- rt-extension-emailcompletion
- rt-extension-assettracker

I've added hints for the first two. assettracker also builds an rt4
extension, so I'm holding up on that one for now.

Cheers,
Julien

Indeed so. I will take up Julien's suggestion to include a hint about
this in the wheezy release notes.

Cheers,
Dominic.

Thanks for spotting this and apologies not for sorting that out first.
rt-extension-assettracker in git no longer builds the 3.8 package.

If there are no objections from the team, I'll upload this soon.

Cheers,
Dominic.
