Hi,

You went to the right upgrade instructions page (ADMINDOC/Upgrade+from+5.6+to+5.7). It's a “work in progress” because the page will continue to evolve until the release of the latest 5.7.x Fast Track.
For each version, you have a link to the brut JIRA listing of upgrade notes, per issue. In addition, the most important changes are also detailed in that page.

The generic upgrade procedure is explained in the mother page (ADMINDOC/How+to+upgrade+Nuxeo), briefly:

• backup,
• stop the old Nuxeo,
• deploy the new distribution,
• update environment variables (NUXEO_HOME and NUXEO_CONF) to make it use your custom configuration, database and data directory,
• run “nuxeoctl mp-reset”
• start the new Nuxeo.

Why do you ask about the PostgreSQL schema? Do you have a specific usage which requires some manual action on the database? If not, this is automatically managed by Nuxeo and exception cases are explained in the upgrade notes.

There was an issue with the publication of nuxeo-dam. It is now fixed; thanks for the report!
Note running the wizard or “nuxeoctl mp-init” initializes the local cache with a few Marketplace packages (nuxeo-dm, nuxeo-dam and nuxeo-social-collaboration).

About Shibboleth, you should use a configuration template instead of manually copying files into the server structure. Also, don't hesitate to ask for a Marketplace packages release when it is not available for a supported Nuxeo version.

About Studio, you're right. It will always point at the latest Fast Track. The “[DEV]” keyword is confusing and may be changed soon.

Regards,

okay, this is sort of ghetto, but it makes me want to vouge

1. shut down nuxeo 5.7.1
2. copy the nuxeo-cap-5.7.1-tomcat/nxserver/data/ directory some someplace (say ~/nuxeo_home/nxserver/data)
3. remove or rename the file ~/nuxeo_home/nxserver/data/instance.clid (if ~/nuxeo_home/nxserver/data/ is your data directory from 5.7.1)
4. unzip 5.7.2 and start it up
5. run through the wizard; use the path from step 2 as the location of the data directory; use the same postgres database as 5.7.1, and make sure to select the DAM module for install
6. stop the 5.7.2 server
7. if you are using shibboleth, manually place in your shibboleth jar from maven into nxserver/bundle and shibboleth-login-config.xml into nxserver/config
8. here is the vodou ./nuxeo-cap-5.7.2-tomcat/bin/nuxeoctl mp-install nuxeo-dam-5.7.2

Then you should be able to run ./bin/nuxeoctl start and all your content and shibboleth stuff from 5.7.1 will show up in 5.7.2
