[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Upgrading OpenSRF

[Demian Katz]

Thanks for sharing this.  Just one point that is a little unclear:  since the Evergreen installation overwrites opensrf.xml and opensrf_core.xml, how should those files be treated during upgrading?  Presumably if I overwrite the xml files with the xml.example files generated by the OpenSRF compilation process, that will cause problems when I go to upgrade Evergreen (since the Evergreen upgrade instructions don't address opensrf.xml at all).  Is there any way this can be streamlined?  Can we simply skip this step in the OpenSRF upgrade if we are later upgrading Evergreen anyway?

Also, regarding OpenSRF 2.0.0, is this compatible with the Evergreen 2.0.x line, or is it not appropriate to use it until 2.1.x comes along?

thanks,
Demian
