I need a little assistance in making sure our directions for upgrading a current installation of DSpace 1.5 to 1.6 are going to be correct. As I start to code the documentation this week,
here are the list of issues I need assistance with.

PRAENOTANDA: I have not attempted to upgrade any of my test or developmental environments,
because, I'm not sure the trunk is complete.

1. Do we have an "Update the Database" step where an SQL script is going to run?

2. Update of dspace.cfg files. In the past we have had very confusing directions in which we have instructed users to perform the update_configs directions. It was always "after" the complete update of DSpace, and before the customization options. I have always had it fail miserably when attempting to perform it. So, I just ignore that step, and manually update the dspace.cfg file. So, here's my suggestions/questions
to this:
-- If you are going to run ant -Dconfig=[dspace]/config/dspace.cfg update_configs, it should be the step before you run the normal ant -Dconfig=[dspace]/config/dspace.cfg update. Is there agreement here?

3.  Are there additional steps that need to be included?  Such as:
        -- index-init
-- additional configurations that need special attention that the directions in the config file needs enhanced?

I hope to have a preliminary upgrade section written by the middle of the week for feedback.

TIA,

Jeff
