I need a little assistance in making sure our directions for upgrading
a current installation
of DSpace 1.5 to 1.6 are going to be correct. As I start to code the
documentation this week,
here are the list of issues I need assistance with.
PRAENOTANDA: I have not attempted to upgrade any of my test or
developmental environments,
because, I'm not sure the trunk is complete.
1. Do we have an "Update the Database" step where an SQL script is
going to run?
2. Update of dspace.cfg files. In the past we have had very
confusing directions in which we have
instructed users to perform the update_configs directions. It was
always "after" the complete update
of DSpace, and before the customization options. I have always had it
fail miserably when attempting
to perform it. So, I just ignore that step, and manually update the
dspace.cfg file. So, here's my suggestions/questions
to this:
-- If you are going to run ant -Dconfig=[dspace]/config/dspace.cfg
update_configs, it should be the step
before you run the normal ant -Dconfig=[dspace]/config/dspace.cfg
update. Is there agreement here?
3. Are there additional steps that need to be included? Such as:
-- index-init
-- additional configurations that need special attention that the
directions in the config file needs enhanced?
I hope to have a preliminary upgrade section written by the middle of
the week for feedback.
TIA,
Jeff
