You really should set up a test environment (if you don't have one |
21 |
already) and do it there. |

You may also want to consider setting up a build server which will |
24 |
compile your packages for your specific setup so all you have to do on |
25 |
the production server is merge the binary. |

As far as the gcc upgrade, I haven't done it myself. Is there a specific |
28 |
reason you need the latest version? If not, then why upgrade? |
