Many thanks to Arno and Kevin for thier help.
I decided to save the current 2.4.4 environment and upgrade to 3.0.0. If
it is necessary to modify the DB and patch the code I think the risks are
of the same kind as installing the new rev, wich is in any case a
production rev.
Too bad I have to use the tarball version, the RPM version are not yet
ready, even in source format.
Thanks again,
