Hi all,

I have a private package located at `/home/jock/repos/private/MyPkg.jl`.  
Among other things it contains `scripts/backtest`, which is executable.  
It looks like this:

```julia
#! /usr/bin/env julia

using DataFrames
using MyPkg

function dosomething()
   # do something
end
dosomething()

```

Currently I use Julia 0.6.3 and run the backtest with the command:  
`/home/jock/repos/private/MyPkg.jl/scripts/backtest`

I am now trying to migrate `MyPkg` to Julia 0.7, so I’ve created a `julia0p7` branch for `MyPkg`.  
I have also installed Julia 0.7.0-alpha.0, symlinked it to `/usr/local/bin/julia0p7` and changed the 1st line of the script to `#! /usr/bin/env julia0p7`. That is, the script will now try to run with Julia 0.7-0-alpha.

When I run the script as before I get a `LoadError` because `DataFrames` is not found in the current path.  
I have read the latest documentation, which describes how to start a new project from scratch.  
But I’m quite confused about how to migrate this existing package.  
I tried various snippets from the docs but to no avail.  
Can anyone point out some specific steps in this scenario?

Thanks in advance  
Jock
