not an "in-place upgrade" path. you'll be able to take a backup of your
current system and restore it on a new sipxecs 4.6 system. i don't think
i'd trust in place upgrade for centos 5 to 6 anyway, despite sipxecs. I
know centos 4 to 5 didn't go smoothly (postgres) and we ultimately
recommended folks rebuild anyway. All this being said, if you know what
you're doing anything is possible.

anything you have to install manually today with 4.6 development build is
temporary. in fact bind is already addressed (pardon the pun)

we'll have an ISO by release date. as always, you will be able to install
CentOS/RHEL/Fedora yourself or just use the sipXecs ISO
