GETTING SOUTH WORKING ON EXISTING INSTALL
- as of Helios v3.0.4, we're using South to migrate data models
- if you've already loaded the data model beforehand, you need to tell South that you've migrated appropriately
- so, if your data model is up to date with the code, do

python manage.py syncdb

to get the south db models set up, and then:

python manage.py migrate --list

- if there are some unchecked migrations, and you are SURE that your database is up to date with the models (which should be the case if you're on a v3.0.x version), then do

python manage.py migrate --fake
