[ixpmanager] Looking forward to version7

[Jan Ferré]

I wonder if there will be some suggested way to move users from one 
installation to another.

We're lacking so much as we do prefer to make a new installation of the 
OS and the Manager - while keeping the old one alive. Then the database 
should be moved to the new installation, and when tested, the IP-adress 
will take over the old installation.

Last time we tried that, we created all attached customers and installed 
a new set of users - with the result that very few actually connects. So 
being able to move the database would really be good as IXP Manager 
5.7.0 is a bit old now.....

And for the same reason as Pete, I will head for a new Debian too.
