Re: updating gerrit to 2.3
adding the steps we did downstream just in case:
0. backup configuration files under gerrit home dir (review_site/etc/gerrit.config and
secure.config)
backup postgres db
1. /home/gerrit2/review_site/bin/gerrit.sh stop
2. su - gerrit2
3. wget http://gerrit.googlecode.com/files/gerrit-2.3.war
4. unlink gerrit.war; ln -s gerrit-2.3.war gerrit.war
5. java -jar gerrit.war init -d review_site/
- this will now show you interactive questions about gerrit configuration,
you should just keep current configuration (press enter).
and compare the new conf after to make sure nothing was changed.
6. /home/gerrit2/review_site/bin/gerrit.sh start

one comment that 2.4 was released last friday (and has a cool feature
of
rebasing[1].
but i prefer to give it a bit of time for testing, and not delay our
upgrade.
so I prefer to upgrade to 2.3.
question is if to apply the email patch on 2.3, or upgrade to 2.4
first.
in any case I want to first upgrade to a clean 2.3 environment.
