Introduction

As a rule at Stellenbosch University library we only upgrade to DSpace during the Dec/Jan long holiday. We also run one version behind the latest version because we do not have expert Java and Web 2.0 skills in-house. So we stay just behind the bleeding edge.

Our next upgrade will be from DSpace version 1.7.2 to 1.8.2 in Dec 2012.

Procedure

Using an Ubuntu desktop the program "meld" is installed. "meld" allows you to compare two folders for differences.

So the working version is copied to my desktop and the new version is extracted to my desktop as well. Using "meld" I investigate all the differences and update the new version with new settings as appropiate.
