Re: [SL] upgrade issues...

come on, Armaghan, what a crock.

The upgrade can be done for any version from 1.2.7 onward without an 
incremental upgrade.

This bit of information is even posted on the website at

Upgrading from any version > 1.2.7 to the latest version

Upgrading is easy. Load setup.pl from the sql-ledger root directory and 
select Upgrade. The script will lock everyone out and install the new code 
over top. The only thing left to do is to log in to upgrade a dataset.

To upgrade manually load admin.pl and Lock the system. Download the new 
code and untar over top and fix the permissions according to the UPGRADE 
file in the doc directory. Most of the time there is nothing else to be 
done. Load admin.pl and Unlock the system. When a user logs in the Dataset 
is upgraded automatically, you do not have to do anything. If other steps 
are required, i.e template modifications, they will be listed in the 
UPGRADE file.
You DO NOT have to install intermediate versions to upgrade to the latest 
version! Intermediate upgrades are done for you.
