Given that this module may not be upgraded (per #279002: Address field for CCK appears to be abandoned), it should be publicly deprecated in favor of http://drupal.org/project/addresses.

Has anyone successfully migrated your data from Address field for CCK to addresses? Tips?

I think you must re-implement all your data unless the addressess module owner wishes to create an upgrade routine.

Here is a patch to deprecate the module and move existing fields to the Addresses module.

P.S. The current version of this module should not be deprecated, since it works well and Addresses is not available for Drupal 5. However, if this patch is accepted and a Drupal 6 version is released, the Drupal 6 version should be deprecated.

Darren--thanks! Could you instead post that at #378498: Migration from Address Field for CCK?

Restoring to "active" status because I requested re-routing of Darren's contribution.

It's a patch for cck_addresses. What can the Addresses module maintainers do with it?

P.S. I didn't think too hard before replying. It was no problem to modify the update function and add it to addresses_cck.install.

I've been gone for a long time, but a new D6 version is in the works right now. I'll also be getting a new co-maintainer to help out with the day-to-day.

See this post for what will be in the new version: http://drupal.org/node/421896

There is one mistake in this patch - on line 575 it should be
if (db_column_exists($table, "$field[field_name]_$columns[$column]")) {
not
if (db_column_exists($table, $column)) {
