I nominate adding the database schema upgrade script to the deb and
rpm
install/upgrade scripts. It would need to detect the current db schema
version and apply the appropriate db updates. Which it surely does
already...
That automation alone would probably reduce friction by 5%.
It is not that easy.
It first would have to scan your config, in order to find which DBMS
you
use.
Some are even using multiple DBs.
I think it would be relatively straight-forward and avoid lots of
upgrade confusion for SOGo to store in the db the db schema version.
Then when SOGo starts up and connects to the db, it checks that the db
schema version matches the version it is expecting. If it isn't, it
throws an error and stops. This forces the admin to read the
instructions and do the db backup, run the upgrade script, etc. But it
prevents someone from doing a quick upgrade and running a new version
SOGo against an old db schema and having weird problems, etc.

I also agree. It would be nice if all database changes were applied when
upgrading binary packages like rpm. Just imagine a scenario when a new
major update is released and installed automatically except its database
part and the responsible admin is out somewhere and SOGo stops operating
after a service reload. All packages are installed under root user and
it means that upgrade scripts can see SOGo configuration and react
appropriately.
