Hi Jochen,

generally updating the database shouldn't be an issue as this is handled by the migration scripts that incrementally update your db schema to match the version.
But I would do a backup just in case.

For the outdated ini files you can use the tool called Meld to spot differences between yours and the .sample files. Björn pointed me to this tool after opening this PR.

Cheers,
Jelle

Hi,

today we tried to update from 15.10 to 16.10 which included an update of
your database from 129 to 131.
Do we necessary run into problem if we update from an one year old
instance? How is the galaxy.ini updated? Or galaxy.ini does not know any
conda yet.


Thanks in advance.
Cheers Jochen
