Re: [Jami] using legacy accounts on Linux and Android app

[Sébastien Blin]

Normally updating clients automatically do the migration, but a 
migration so big (should be like a 2 years migration if it's still ring 
is not really supported)

But the format for account didn't change, In ~/.local/share/ring you 
should see some export.gz for each of your old accounts.

You can import it in recent versions via "Import from backup" in the 
account creation's menu. Just import the export.gz via the File chooser 
and set the password if there is one.

Sébastien
