[Dspace-tech] Can you upgrade directly from DSpace 1.4.2 to 1.5.1 without first installing 1.5?

Hi, We are working on the upgrade from DSpace 1.4.2 to 1.5.x and I'd like to know if we can upgrade from 1.4.2 directly to 1.5.1, or must we install 1.5 first? Thanks, Sue Sue Walker-Thornton ConITS Contract NASA Langley Research Center //Integrated Library Systems Application

Sue, You should be able to upgrade from 1.4.2 to 1.5.1, assuming you make sure to perform all of the 1.5.x database upgrades. So, even though you are upgrading to 1.5.1, make sure to *first* perform the upgrade steps laid out for 1.4.2-1.5.0. For DSpace, we make it a point that minor

Hi Glenn, I think the answer was that you'll have to run the database update/upgrade step included in the 1.4.2--1.5 documentation. Good luck! Sue -Original Message- From: Bunton, Glenn A. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 21, 2008 11:42 AM To:
