Description Mihail Stanciu 2015-07-09 11:00:39 UTC

Tested on master: 0aaa67a790ab211b35eed58173efa115ceb6e243

During first-time setup, Toaster refuses to launch if Django 1.7 or greater is installed.
As per Alex Damian, Toaster should be compatible with any version of Django 1.6 or 1.7.

Note that this only happens during the first-time run. If Django is upgraded after the initial setup process completes, Toaster can start without problems.

Error message:
$ bitbake/bin/toaster
This program needs Django 1.6. Please install with

pip install django==1.6
Error: Could not verify that the needed dependencies are installed. Please use virtualenv and pip to install dependencies listed in toaster-requirements.txt

South reefuses to work with 1.7. Django made a conscious decision to break backward compatibility with South at 1.7.

This means that we need a clean break between supporting 1.6 and 1.7, and change over the migration model.

Moved as Enhancement for 2.1

Toaster requires 1.6, we're not going to try and support multiple versions of Django at this time.

Opening #8364 to track upgrading django.

Verified.
