RT 3.6.1 died, restore on 3.6.3?

RT Users

I had a copy of RT 3.6.1 (with RTFM installed) working fine on a Fedora
Core 5 Linux box. This computer died and had to be rebuilt (now with
FC6). Fortunately just before it died I made a fresh mysqldump database
backup.

I notice there is a 3.6.3 rpm available to install RT. Can I install
3.6.3, add RTFM, then just restore the 3.6.1 database backup, or did the
database schema change? If I have to install 3.6.1 before 3.6.3 does
anyone know if there is still a 3.6.1 rpm available? … or do I need to
manually install 3.6.1 (as I did originally)?

Any help appreciated …

OK … I’ve compared the rt3-schema-relationships.dot files included in
the two distributions & they appear to be identical. With my limited
knowledge of RT that is indicating that the databases are identical.
Could anyone confirm this … ?

Thanks in advance …

You’re right.

The correct way to identify if a later version of RT uses a different db
schema is to look at the etc/upgrade directory. For each item in that
directory whose name is greater than your previously installed RT
version, run: …
