Upgrading a Tripal 3 site
Note
The upgrade path is still under development. More information will be added here as it becomes available.
What we know so far:
Upgrading from Drupal 7 to 10+ requires a migration.
This means you will create a local copy of your current Drupal 7 site, a new Drupal 10+ site and then use the Drupal Migration module to transfer your data from the Drupal 7 site to the new Drupal 10 one.
This process ensures unused or old configuration from previous upgrades is not transferred to your new site.
More information can be found here: Upgrading from Drupal 6 or 7 to Drupal 8 (and newer)
Drupal has provided the following documentation to prepare for a migration: How to prepare your Drupal 7 or 8 site for Drupal 9
Upgrading from Tripal 3 to 4 will also use the Drupal migration functionality.
Only Chado ≥1.3 will be supported in Tripal 4 so you need to upgrade Chado first.
We provided a tool for migrating your Chado data, this is described in Migrating Chado
