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.

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 docs: http://gerrit-documentation.googlecode.com/svn/Documentation/2.3/index.html here are the 2.3 release notes: http://gerrit-documentation.googlecode.com/svn/ReleaseNotes/ReleaseNotes-2.3... ----- Original Message -----

+1 on upgrading to 2.4 first. It does have some needed improvements, and emails can stay as we currently see them. So no degradation from mail point of view, it will only get better.

to upgrade to 2.4 i'd expect at least a week of it being tested by someone maintaing a different gerrit. and still sounds safer to upgrade to 2.3, then to 2.4 (even if a week later). so unless there is a good reason not to, I still plan to upgrade to 2.3 this week. we can discuss upgrade to 2.4 for next week.
in any case I want to first upgrade to a clean 2.3 environment.
