upgrade from 1.5.4 to 1.6.4
Hi,
I am once again planning an upgrade (from 1.5.4 to 1.6.4). In order to
get the file system storage improvements noted in the release notes (or
any other 1.6 improvements) do I need to dump and load, or is the
svnadmin upgrade operation sufficient.
My repositories were created and reloaded under 1.5.3.
Also, are there any issues with my synced repositories? I'm guessing I
need to do the same upgrade on them too... or is there a need to do
something like recreating them?
Sorry if this is a duplicate...I didn't see any from 1.5.x to 1.6.x on
the list already...
Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
-Steve

I believe that just an upgarde will be sufficient to use the packing
complete shards, however the rep-sharing feature will only work on new
items commited. If you want to get rep-sharing working over all
existing data then dump and reload. We did if that helps :)
Actually what we did was restore a recent backup to a test system,
then tested a dump-reload upgrade to see what effect it would have.
The rep-sharing gave us a significant enough saving on disk to warrent
the downtime on the main repository so we went for it.
Cheers,
Purple

Richard,
Thanks for your response...
My direct question is must I dump and reload, or is svnadmin upgrade
sufficient? I understand neither is required, but if I wish to utilize
features such as 'packing completed shards' must I dump and reload, or
is my 'svnadmin upgrade'ed repositories sufficient for features such as
this. My repositories were recreated and reloaded under 1.5.3.
I don't see anything that states this with any certainty w/in the book
or release notes when upgrading from 1.5.x to 1.6.x. Possibly I
overlooked it?
Thanks much,
-Steve

Hi All,
I don't mean to be impatient... any advise on this? Possibly I missed
something in the latest book and release notes?
Thanks much,
