[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Upgrading OpenSRF

[Anoop Atre]

Demian
OpenSRF 2.0.0 is compatible with 2.0.x and above (it might even be fine 
with Evergreen 1.6.*)

Yes you can skip that step. I note in the instructions to create backups 
of those files (step 6) if you want to test the bare bones OpenSRF 
configuration and then roll back to the Evergreen configuration files 
(last part of the instructions).

I've updated the instructions after Dan Scott made some comments on IRC, 
it now includes a short version and a cleaned up longer version. Also 
included a warning that Thomas Berezansky thought might be a good idea 
about having to re-compile Evergreen once an OpenSRF upgrade was 
completed. In my test I didn't have to but there maybe cases where it 
might be required.

Cheers

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?
