[rt-users] Upgrading from RT 3.6.1 to 3.6.4

[Roy El-Hames]

Hi;

There is one database change from 3.5.1 to 3.6.x which is content 
changes (not a schema change though )..
You can identify what changes are needed from the rt source, look in 
the  etc/upgrade/ .. and for every directory > than your current version 
there will be changes to be made.
The rt installation / README explains how to do these db changes .. yes 
its via scripts
