[Spacewalk-list] Question Regarding SpaceWalk Upgrade Procedures

[james turner]

Greetings,

I was looking at the website for information on upgrading SpaceWalk. I found two sections that appear to contract each other. The first is under 

https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/UserDocs#OngoingMaintenanceandAdministration , "Upgrade guides, sequential, stepped upgrades are recommended to cover 
multiple update levels, i.e. to get from 0.6 to 0.8 please upgrade via 
0.7 (and we recommend testing at each intermediate level as you proceed)
 rather than trying to go directly from 0.6 to 0.8. Jumping levels is 
deeply discouraged with the exception of version 0.9 which was never 
released."

However, under https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/HowToUpgrade
It says, "In most cases it's possible to perform Package upgrade and Schema 
upgrade steps from any previous version to the latest one directly (e.g.
 from 1.6 to 2.2). Make sure you have a valid backup in case anything 
will go wrong."

So which one is correct? Do I need to sequentially update from SpaceWalk 1.9 to 2.2 or can I simply upgrade to 2.2?

Thanks for your assistance,

Jim
