DarrenmUK: great - let me know if you have any questions. The biggest challenges I'm seeing are

- some of Feeds' node related properties (feeds_node_item, *maybe* feeds_source tables) should be fields
- some of the plugins and mappers may need to undergo large changes. I am fine with a gradual upgrade path here where we do first an upgrade of Feeds' core and then port step by step plugins and mappers.
- we will need to think about how to upgrade configuration that has been exported to code *if* it changes.

Check out Coder upgrade to get a quick start .

Of note, Feeds requires Chaos tools, which does not have an active 7 release yet, but does finally have a development snapshot as of August 4th. So may want to focus on finishing up the the port of CTools to 7 and then work on the feeds port http://drupal.org/node/589636

Is it not best to get Feeds to a stable 6.x-1.0 before moving it to 7.x ? Otherwise you need to keep fixing things under two versions both in development - draining resources.

I am planning to push hard on Feeds Drupal 7 next week. There won't be a stable Drupal 6 release until then. Once a Drupal 7 release is out, I will strive for only minimal changes to Drupal 6 (= bug fixes) and new features going into Drupal 7 before being backported.

Issue tags:

+D7 porting

Tagging and sub. Nice work fixing the epic inheritance issue, by the way.

Title:

Upgrade to Drupal 7

» Upgrade to Drupal 7 - remaining items

An 7.x 2.x Alpha 1 is out now: http://drupal.org/project/feeds

The reason why we had to notch up the major version are the implementation of #744660: Expand batch support to fetchers and parsers which brought a series of API changes. I will seize the opportunity and do a couple of minor API cleanups before we go 7.x 2.x beta. (In case you wonder: right now nobody's working on backporting some of the 7.x 2.x features to 6.x 2.x.).

Here is a list of remaining items for the D7 upgrade, the rest should be done:

- No FeedsDataProcessor as the future of Data in D7 is not yet decided #827000: Port Data Module to Drupal 7, even if there is a D7 Data, the processor should live in Data.
- Find a replacement for Feeds Fast News feature (which depends on Data).
- No upgrades for the following mappers yet: emfield, link, locale, og, profile.
