[rt-users] Upgrade 3.2.2 to 3.8.7

[Robert Grasso]

once you have untarred the RT 3.8.7 transport archive, in the resulting rt-3.8.7 directory, you should read the UPGRADING and
UPGRADING.mysql documents : they contains the answers to all your questions (they guided me successfully for my own upgrade)

> The plan is pretty straight forward.
> Run up new Ubuntu 10.04 host, install and configure blank 
> 3.8.7 instance as per Ubuntu packages.
> Dump database on old 3.2.2 host, import database onto new Ubuntu host.
> Run necessary upgrade scripts.
> Just like http://wiki.bestpractical.com/view/MigrateToNewServer.

> Perhaps there's some caveats im missing?

> Can anyone share a clue?
