Today I'm going to tackle the renaming of lugnet.publish.cinema to
lugnet.animation and lugnet.football to lugnet.sports.
This transformation will basically go in 4 steps:
1. First the old groups will be disabled, so that no new posts can be made.
2. Next, the new groups will be created and populated with the old groups'
articles. The new groups will be disabled initially.
3. The group names will be updated within the articles, so that replies go
to the right place. I'll also have to make a similar name change in the
news-by-mail database, so that people who are subscribed by e-mail will
still be subscribed.
4. Finally, the new groups will be enabled for posting.
And then will be a final post-op step:
5. Make the old URLs on the web interface auto-forward to the new URLs.
Article threading and display of old articles in these two groups may be
wonky for a short period during the transition.
