My first question is, I hope, relatively simple: Can we upgrade directly to 3.00.03 from 3.00.01, or would it be better/more prudent to pass for 3.00.02 first?
I think you should be fine going to 3.00.03, but back up everything and if it fails, installing 3.00.02 might help to identify the problem by narrowing the search.
The second question is, given that we've modified some files (for example, in /usr/share/koha/intranet/htdocs/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/cataloguing/value_builder, we've modified the plugins for the leader and 008 so that it's possible to use, e.g. |-No attempt to code per Festchrift), what's the best way to handle the upgrade? Is it possible to make changes to files from the upgrade tarball before the make upgrade or is it necessary to go ahead with the upgrade and then follow-up afterwards readding the changes we've made?
If you've not used git revision control, I think the best way is to unpack the original 3.00.01 source, take a copy of your modified 3.00.01 source, do the upgrade and then use a "three-way merge with ancestor" tool on the directories containing the modifications. Emacs has one called Ediff http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/ediff/index.html#Top but I expect other pretty ones are available. Again, backup everything.
