| Upgrading a Customized or Extended Bugzilla |
| ########################################### |
| |
| If your Bugzilla has been customized or uses extensions, you will need to |
| make your customizations or extensions work with your new version of Bugzilla. |
| If this is the case, you are particularly strongly recommended to do a test |
| upgrade on a test system and use that to help you port forward your |
| customizations. |
| |
| If your extension came from a third party, look to see if an updated version |
| is available for the version of Bugzilla you are upgrading to. If not, and |
| you want to continue using it, you'll need to port it forward yourself. |
| |
| If you are upgrading from a version of Bugzilla earlier than 3.6 and have |
| extensions for which a newer version is not available from an upstream source, |
| then you need to convert them. This is because the extension format changed |
| in version 3.6. There is a file called :file:`extension-convert.pl` in the |
| :file:`contrib` directory which may be able to help you with that. |
