This may not help much since I can't specifically answer any of your
questions but I recently upgraded from 1.6.0.4 to 2.2.1 and here was
my approach:
* Ubuntu 12.04, fresh install on a new system
* Postgres 9.1 (or whichever version comes with 12.04 -- though I did
install updates to 12.04)
* My biggest issue was upgrading the database and most of that was due
to my lack of experience with Postgres but, yes, you will need to use
the individual upgrade scripts to get to 2.1.4 before moving to 2.2. I
think after that you can use the single large upgrade script to jump,
for example, to 2.3 but I could be misremembering on that (you can
tell by the script size if it is a combined script, that is, the size
will be close to the sum of the sizes of the smaller scripts).
** There was some issues with upgrading to the 9.x database from 8.x
that used in Evergreen 1.6.0.4 but you should avoid that given you are
already on 9.x.
** I had some problems with some of the upgrade scripts and I ended up
manually editing some scripts to disable chunks that were failing
(failing due to already having been applied)
* In my approach of using a fresh OS and Evergreen installation, there
was no upgrade to OpenSRF -- I just used what came with 2.2.1
BTW, I am an unpaid hack that helps out at my small local school so I
can't help much beyond what I've posted above.

Hi, All
I've got an Evergreen server that has been working rather well with
the library staff at our college. In fact, it's been working a bit
too well, and (out of sight, out of mind) has fallen a bit behind in
my desire to keep it updated. I'd like to get updated to the latest
version, and I'm curious about the best way to proceed. Here's what
it is running now:
·Ubuntu 10.04.4
·PostrgreSQL 9.0.5
·Evergreen 2.1.1
·OpenSRF 2.0.1
The installation was performed by myself, adhering stringently to
the README
http://evergreen-ils.org/documentation/install/README_2_1_1.html
My general questions are:
·Should I worry about upgrading Ubuntu? The documentation says it
should work fine and I've got another 2 years before EOL, but I'm
usually eager to embrace the latest LTS.
·Should I worry about upgrading Postgres? Again, the documentation
says 9 should be fine but 9.1 is recommended (for 2.3, at least). At
least, should I upgrade to the latest 9.0.x release?
·When the time comes (either this upgrade-round, or later on) to
upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04, is it advisable to upgrade Ubuntu itself,
or set up a fresh server and migrate all of our data?
My more specific questions are:
·If I'm at 2.1.1, and the latest 2.1.x release is 2.1.4, do I need
to perform all the upgrades in between those before moving on the
2.2.x release? Then, upgrade through all the 2.2.x releases, and
subsequently the 2.3.x releases?
·I don't see any upgrade instructions between OpenSRF 2.0.1 and
2.1.2, where can I find some information on that? Should OpenSRF be
the first thing I upgrade?
·If I should upgrade Ubuntu or PostgreSQL, when should those fit in
to the roadmap?
Thanks for all your wonderful work!!
