[Building Sakai] Sakai Upgrade

[Beth Kirschner]

Hi Phil,

   Updating Sakai should be done in a step-wise fashion, so I would suggest upgrading first to 2.7.0, then 2.8.0, then 2.8.1. The upgrade should involve reading the release notes, running the database conversion scripts (https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/reference/trunk/docs/conversion/), and bringing the instance completely up (since some releases have some run time updates that occur at boot time).

   I've copied the sakai-dev list in case anyone has additional advice. Good luck!

- Beth
