[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen 2.6.1 and 2.5.5 Uploaded

[Jesse McCarty]

Here is a question: What is the official supported upgrade path from one version (2.4.x - 2.5.x, 2.5.x-2.6.x etc..) to the next? Looking through the DB upgrade scripts I see 2.4.3-2.5.0 upgrade script and a 2.5.3-2.6.0 upgrade script. Will any upgrade past a 2.x.3 (such as the 2.4.4-2.5.4 upgrade I have been trying to complete) run into headaches and issues? If we are looking to jump into a newer version (versus staying on a particular branch for an extended period of time) would we be wise to avoid going higher than a 2.x.3 release (say, upgrade to 2.5.3 with the plans to upgrade to either 2.6.x or 2.7.x at a later date and again going no higher than a 2.x.3 release)?

Currently with our Evergreen system we have scheduled 3 in house upgrades per year, with the initial plan being two point release upgrades and one major version upgrade per year (though, with the improvements to Acquisitions in 2.5.x we are re-evaluating the only one major release upgrade plan). I am trying to plan out the upgrade path to eliminate as many issues as possible when upgrading.

Thanks,
