I've got a server running 2.2.2-RELEASE, and the darned thing needs to be updated to 4.3-RELEASE. I know that if I were going to perform this upgrade from source I'd have to go in stages, from release to stable, stable to release, etc., until ending at the final version. However, we're planning on a binary upgrade, and I'm thinking (and hoping!) that this will allow the upgrade to take place in one big jump, rather than several small ones. I'd appreciate hearing about the accuracies of this guess, and any other information deemed relevant by the knowledgeable.
