OpenSRF 2.0.0 is compatible with 2.0.x and above (it might even be fine with Evergreen 1.6.*)

Yes you can skip that step. I note in the instructions to create backups of those files (step 6) if you want to test the bare bones OpenSRF configuration and then roll back to the Evergreen configuration files (last part of the instructions).

I've updated the instructions after Dan Scott made some comments on IRC, it now includes a short version and a cleaned up longer version. Also included a warning that Thomas Berezansky thought might be a good idea about having to re-compile Evergreen once an OpenSRF upgrade was completed. In my test I didn't have to but there maybe cases where it might be required.

Cheers

Thanks for sharing this.  Just one point that is a little unclear:  since the 
Evergreen installation overwrites opensrf.xml and opensrf_core.xml, how should 
those files be treated during upgrading?  Presumably if I overwrite the xml 
files with the xml.example files generated by the OpenSRF compilation process, 
that will cause problems when I go to upgrade Evergreen (since the Evergreen 
upgrade instructions don't address opensrf.xml at all).  Is there any way this 
can be streamlined?  Can we simply skip this step in the OpenSRF upgrade if we 
are later upgrading Evergreen anyway?

Also, regarding OpenSRF 2.0.0, is this compatible with the Evergreen 2.0.x 
line, or is it not appropriate to use it until 2.1.x comes along?

thanks,
Demian

I'd been meaning to write upgrade instructions for sometime so here you
go: http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=opensrf:upgrading

You basically don't need to recreate the ejabberd accounts and you
could
probably skip step 6 through 9 which are to test a bare-bones OpenSRF
config/install.

I'm sure I missed something or there is a better way of doing the
upgrade but on a standalone server I've had no problems (yet) with
these
directions.

Depending on what version of Evergreen you are working with I would
recommend you move to the latest 2.0.0 that was released on Sunday
(thanks to Dan Scott).

Cheers

Hello,

Just curious if there are upgrade instructions for OpenSRF that I'm
missing.  I'm currently running 1.6.2, and I see that the newest
version is 1.6.3 - it would be nice to upgrade without having to repeat
the whole complex install process.  Is there a shortcut, or should I
just bite the bullet and dig in?
