all,<br>
<br>
Since nobody replied, I am replying to my own question!<br>
<br>
My plan to upgrade is like this:<br>
<br>
As root:<br>
<br>
1. Download tar file<br>
<br>
2. unpack tar file to /home/mydir<br>
<br>
3. cd /home/mydir/eprints-3.3.x<br>
<br>
4. ./configure --prefix /var/lib/eprints3 (this is where our
current eprints is)<br>
<br>
5. ./install.pl<br>
<br>
6. (as eprints) cd /var/lib/eprints3<br>
<br>
7. epadmin upgrade ourarchive<br>

<br>
Beware that this may take long. During that time the repo will not
be in a usable state.<br>
<br>
<blockquote cite="mid:cefa8fef7550ed61.506ac063@nuim.ie" type="cite"><br>
8. restart Apache<br>
<br>
This will probably upgrade our repo.But I would still like to know
a few things:<br>
<br>
* which is the stable one in 3.3.x and can I go directly from
3.2.8 to 3.3.x <br>

The latest stable version is 3.3.10 and yes you can go from 3.2 to
3.3<br>
<br>

*What happens to the old configuration/code files , are they
overwritten?<br>

The .pm files in perl_lib are backed up (the install.pl step will
tell you). The local configuration (archives/ourarchive/cfg/*) isn't
usually modified, and actually you'll need to do this by hand (i.e.
you could missing some new features/conf).<br>
<br>
I usually do after the upgrade:<br>
<br>
cd <your eprints install path><br>
diff -rq lib/defaultcfg/ archives/ourarchive/cfg<br>
<br>
this will tell you of missing files (that you can copy over) and
changes (that you may need to merge, I use vimdiff to check this).<br>
<br>
If some conf files contain new fields/datasets, you may need to run
bin/epadmin update ourarchive so that EPrints adds the new DB
tables/columns.<br>
<br>
You should also diff your old template with the new one (some things
have changed in 3.3, esp. the <head> section).<br>
<br>
If you wrote custom plugins, those may break in 3.3.<br>
<br>
Last but not least, you may need to disable people logging in during
the upgrade process. Look at cfg.d/user_login.pl to disable that
option.<br>
<br>
Good luck,<br>
Seb.<br>

In the past when we did the upgrade, we actually did a clean
install and create (in a new server) and then brought in the db
and documents before running the upgrade process.In that case I
had to do re-do all the customization manually again.But this time
I would like to run the upgrade process in already existing one.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for help.<br>
