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

|
| 23 |
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? |
