Hi Ian,

this project that we started some time ago aims at scripted upgrades 
using the native migration manager of OpenERP:

https://launchpad.net/openupgrade-server

These distributions of OpenERP contain extra migration scripts per 
module, in their "migrations/[version]" subdirectories. They also 
contain a mechanism to calculate the changes in database layout between 
two versions of OpenERP for any set of installed modules. These delta 
files are also included in the distributions for the official addons, as 
"migrations/[version]/openupgrade_analysis.txt". Migration scripts are 
not available for all modules as they are contributed on a per-need 
basis, but these distributions of OpenERP + migration scripts can 
currently migrate databases with a fairly broad selection of modules 
from OpenERP 5.0 to OpenERP 6.1. These databases are now used in 
production. We have had very little problems with them after the migration.

For the coming 7.0 release of OpenERP, the infrastructure has been 
ported and a preview version of the delta files has been generated. I 
expect migration script development to take off after the release of 7.0.

Best regards,
Stefan.
