h4. Migrate Repository from 1.1.x to 1.2.x

Mediapackages are compatible with both versions but we have included new information concerning the status of the operations. Thus, only one file needs to be modified, the others will remain unaltered.

To do so:
* The script is at {{docs/scripts/migrate_repository.py}}
* Copy it to your Galicaster 1.2 directory,
* Configure Galicaster to point to the repository you want to migrate to. {{basic>repository=/home/folder/example}}
* _Optional:_ Backup your file.
* Run it on a terminal: {code:none}python migrate_repository.py{code}

h4. Create a launcher at the Desktop and in Unity

* Copy {{docs/autostart/galicaster.svg}} to {{/usr/share/icons}}.
* Copy {{docs/autostart/galicaster.destktop}} to {{usr/share/applications}}.
* Pulse Meta(Win key), type Galicaster and drag the GC icon to the desktop.
** If the GC logo does not show, right-click on the file, go to Properties, choose the 'Permissions' tab and check 'Allow executing file as a program'.
* Resize it by right-clicking on the launcher, go to Resize Icon... .

To make Galicaster start automatically at the system boot, do the following:

* Copy {{docs/autostart/galicaster.desktop}} to {{\~/.config/autostart}}.


h4. Configure the ingestion server and behaviour

Depending on when or how you want to ingest the mediapackages set the {{manual}} and {{scheduled}} properties to {{none}} / {{immediately}} / {{nightly}}.
{code:none}
[ingest]
active = True
manual = nightly
scheduled = immediate
host = http://fakeadmin.matterhorn.com:80
username = matterhorn_system_account
password = CHANGE_ME
workflow = full
workflow-parameters = trimHold:true
{code}
