I believe others are using the PPA from debian, so it may pay to give
that a try. It would certainly make your life easier, as the debian
pakage resolves database schema upgrades for you automatically,
whereas the developer bazaar branch will not.

Both are good ideas. You should be able to just copy the folders to
the new location without any problems. You will have to make sure that
you copy the folders *after* you create the user accounts (that is, if
you're creating the user accounts through the web interface, as
opposed to just creating the rows in the database).

Let me know if you have any issues - cheers,

Cheers,
