Hi I have just successfully upgraded DSpace from 1.5.2 to 1.6.2 on our test server, going via DSpace 1.6.0 as an interim step :)
I am in the process of upgrading our production server and wonder if I can skip the 1.6.0 stage and go straight from 1.5.2 to 1.6.2? I have blogged the proposed upgrade procedure for future reference: http://dspacebromley.blogspot.com/2010/08/dspace-162-upgrade-procedure.html My main concern is with the database upgrade. Do I have to run the SQL database upgrade script twice, once before and once after applying the 1.6.2 bitstream fix, or can I get away with running it just once after applying the bitstream fix? Comments most welcome, before try and I find out the hard way ;) Thanks Clive Message: 4 Date: Fri, 11 Jun 2010 09:13:22 -0400 From: "Mark H.

The answer depends on what we mean by "steps". You can install 1.6.2 in place of 1.5.2 without first installing 1.6.0 and then 1.6.1. But you do have to carry out the upgrade instructions (Upgrading a DSpace Installation), in order, for each version between the one you start with and the one you end at. For example, there should be an SQL script for altering the database schema and converting the data to match, in the upgrade instructions for 1.5.2 to 1.6.0, which cannot be skipped. -- Mark H.
