Data migration from 1.8.9 to 1.9.4 is failing

After installing the new MoinMoin version the data migration is failing with an error. It looks like the migration script is missing or not found. The script 1080900.py is included in the public release of 1.8.9 but not in 1.9.4.

Steps to reproduce

1. Use an old version e.g. 1.8.9
2. Install 1.9.4 like generally described
3. Change into wiki directory
4. Start data migration using

   # moin --config-dir=$(pwd) migration data

Example

# moin --config-dir=$(pwd) migration data
Error: There is no script for 1080900.

Workaround

Create a symlink:

# cd /home/moin/moin-1.9.4/lib/python-2.7/site-packages/MoinMoin/script/migration
# ln -s 1089999.py 1080900.py

# cd /home/moin/MyWiki

# moin --config-dir=$(pwd) migration data

Discussion

Use this patch: http://hg.moinmo.in/moin/1.9/rev/0265eec31d99

Or:

# ln -s 1080800.py 1080900.py

The "missing" file was never there in moin 1.9.x (because 1.8.9 came after 1.9 was begun). But of course you need it, if you want to upgrade from 1.8.9.
