what is the right way to use the new "--freeze" option in startmigration for django-south?

Question

I've tried the following but this seems to only create an empty migration file:

startmigration appname freeze_appname --freeze appname

i've also tried just:

startmigration --freeze appname

doesn't work either.

Answer 1

Ok since i see no SOUTH users around, i had to figure out how to do this.

what i did wrong was create the data migrations first without freezing the apps

i did this:

startmigration appname migrate_data

and this created the blank migrations file where i then put in my data migration functions. but i did not freeze the apps i wanted to use/access withing the migration

the right way to do this would have been:

startmigration appname migrate_data --freeze apptouseinmigration
