[Rt-devel] What are some of the IT requirements for upgrading from RT 3.6 -> 3.8?

[Drew Barnes]

This is absolutely the correct advice, but I would extend it a bit further.

For my upgrades, I get a vanilla system up and working, played with, and 
learned completely before I even start moving my custom pages/widgets 
over.  When I do get to that point, they get moved over one at a time, 
and re-written as needed.

As an aside, my production box is still a 3.6.x, as I am still working 
on duplicating all necessary functionality (including dumping custom 
widgets and recreating them in the form of dashboards/saved searches).
