Hi @SamuelMarks 👋 Thanks for the report. As eucalyptus is rather old, it's hard to deal with front-end dependencies. Questions:

1. Have you set your environment to build eucalyptus specifically or is it the default behavior on your system?
2. Are you sure you need to build this release? Have you tried our latest official build [1]?

@jmaupetit - I'm not interested in running it at all [really]. My goal is to restore my old Eucalyptus backups, restore to the next version, and continue along this path all the way to Juniper.

I've got 4 backups from various Open edX versions; and want to upgrade everything to Juniper

Once this is done, I want to merge all versions of the course into one, and then I'll upgrade my Jupyter Notebook that does the post-hoc statistical analysis (I'll open-source this once it's generic enough 🤖)

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly

PS: No custom XBlocks or ORAs; just vanilla Open edX install.

[jmaupetit]

I see. Unfortunately in this repo some release are missing along the path from eucalyptus to juniper...

[SamuelMarks]

@jmaupetit Yeah I was worried about that, so I rewrote it for a native install: https://github.com/offscale/offregister-openedx/blob/master/offregister_openedx/ubuntu/fun_bare.py …

Can you send through the settings file(s) it expects?

The last time I gave it a shot I got stuck with:

ImportError: No module named proj.settings
