Dear Eileen,
it's quite challenging to give a comprehensive answer because of the many
different aspects involved. I will try to start with a few pointers, feel
free to follow up with more specific questions.
*General information about DSpace upgrades*
The general documentation for upgrading a DSpace installation can be found
here:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC3x/Upgrading+a+DSpace+Installation
An upgrade from 1.5.2 to the most recent version, 3.2 will entail that you
need to run the database update scripts for each intermediate version.
*Migrating from a Windows based installation to Linux*
A major area of work associated with your migration will be the
installation and configuration of the dependencies DSpace needs in order to
be installed and operated.
The installation documentation at
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC3x/Installation gives a good
overview of the installation of these dependencies.
One other area that I can think of, which is definitely different in Linux
compared to Windows, is how scheduled tasks are configured. Information
about these "cron" jobs is also covered in the installation documentation:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC3x/Installation#Installation-'cron'Jobs
I realize this was rather vague and general, but I still hope this helps to
put you in the right direction! In case you are considering outsourcing the
actual upgrade work, @mire could provide you with such services.
with kindest regards,
Bram Luyten
