Linux: 2.4.11 migratoin to 2.6.13 Guide?

[james]

Hello,

I've been using  gnucash for (4) years for a small business, without 
issue on gentoo linux. Surely that's a testament to the fine folks that 
wrote and maintain this codebase (kudos!).

So I looked at the wiki, the Help Manual and the Tutorial and Concept
documents, and found nothing. Surely there is a list of files, I need to 
copy the data over to a new computer with a fresh install of gnucash on 
linux, and maintain the same chart of accounts. NO fancy database, just 
the defaults when it was installed (as in 2.4.x). Once I make this 
migration, I may do it twice onto (2) different systems, just to have 
one to experiment with new features, using a database (like postgres) 
and other interfaced scripts and programs for test and development.


I'd think just using the same dir structure(s) and using scp as the 
gnucash-2.4.11 file(s) transfer tool, while maintaining file permissions 
and (tree)locations, would do the trick so when gnucash-2.6.13 is fired 
up on the new system, it's pretty much the same?


I find no list of file(s) or guidelines for such an upgrade-transfer 
semantic. Perhaps an indexed point into the archives of this list where 
such an email has been previously posted? Or did I miss such steps in an 
obvious document?


Any guidance is greatly appreciated,
James
