Forum OpenACS Improvement Proposals (TIPs): Re: TIP #35: (Proposed) Relax Two Milestone Criteria for OpenACS 5.0.0 Release Candidate

I interpret the milestone criterion to mean, there is an automated upgrade from any version back to 4.5, and it works by 1) updating some files on the hard drive, 2) clicking Upgrade in the APM. We do not quite meet this criterion in 4.6.3, because you usually have to upgrade the kernel first and restart and upgrade everything else in a second pass.

A looser interpretation would be, there exists a successfully tested process for upgrading which does not require manual, site-specific manipulation of the database. I think we're not here in 5.0.0 either because we have only one successful report of upgrade.
