it sounds right. In general, the upgrade consists of the following 
steps:


1. update the database schema - if necessary (look at the 
util/db-upgrade*.sql

scripts)

2. compile piler

3. stop the piler daemon (and other binaries, eg. pilerimport if 
running)

run make install, then start the piler daemon

4. overwrite the gui with webui/* contents

Usually the whole process is done in 5 mins, and the smtp queue of the
mail server should be able to survive it.
