I've started updating my drupal sites from 4.7 to 5 and am very pleased with the results. The upgrade process itself was somewhat problematic, however; the database upgrade script kept stalling half-way through for an unknown reason. I eventually kicked it a couple of times and eventually it did something, though how or why I don't know. The multiple overriding upgrades didn't seem to hurt the final results despite the hideous looking error logs afterwards. I just wish there were log entries from when it just sat there stalled doing nothing.

The site I upgraded was spsc.sailclub.ca which is just a mule and not a real working site --- I never could get the club to use it. I may try it next on the art site. I will have to back up the database just in case, but that's easily done (and those automatic daily off-site back-ups help keep my blood pressure down). Hmm. I should probably migrate Gary's scuba club site first, then the art site.
