Upgrade path from Drupal 5? [#370939]

I am upgrading a site from Drupal 5 to Drupal 6. I'm currently upgrading the money module from 5.x-1.6 to 6.x-1.0. It is installed, along with its prerequisites. I visited /update.php, but it didn't have anything for me to update with this money module. I have visited the permissions page (didn't see anything relevant there) and the number_format settings page (didn't see anything relevant there either). I went ahead and updated those pages anyway.

However, the problem is still as if the money module is still not enabled. When I edit field settings for the content type, I get messages like this:

This content type has inactive fields. Inactive fields are not included in lists of available fields until their modules are enabled.

• Fee (field_fee) is an inactive Money field that uses a money_default widget.

And my "fee" field is not listed when editing a node.

Other fields have made it through the upgrade already, including text, nodereference, and link field types. This money field is the first field I've gotten stuck on.

Is there something I'm missing in this upgrade process? Or is there an upgrade path from Drupal 5?

I haven't thought about a migration path so I haven't included any. I'm sorry I'm focussed on D6 development, I haven't used CCK/Money field in D5 myself, and I'm really busy, so I don't think I can work on this in the near future. Patches welcome.

OK, thanks for letting me know that. This field type is only lightly used (8 nodes. I just counted.) in the site I'm upgrading. In fact, it really only needs to be a Number field. So I'll either convert the field type to Number, or completely remove it and add it back in as a Number type. In any case, there is no need to create an upgrade path for my sake.
