Description Martin Kudlej 2011-02-03 13:45:28 UTC 
I think it should be written in documentation or in FAQ something like this:

Q:Why 'cumin-database install' doesn't work after cumin reinstallation?
 
or there should be some info about the general utility of cumin-database drop and
the treatment of data on uninstall/upgrade/reinstall.
Comment 3 Martin Kudlej 2011-05-17 08:06:10 UTC 
Alison, I cannot. This should be written by developers.

Expansion of the FAQ in chapter 6

Added more information about data across uninstall, reinstall, upgrade, how to preserve user data, and what is actually lost if the database is recreated.

Martin, Justin, please take a look at the attachment and give voice to any issues :)
