Ruslan,
A few questions below...

Sorry. Hope this is better.

I have read through UPDATING for 4.4 Release, and I do not see
any obvious solution. I have just upgraded my dev server to 4.4
Stable with no problems, but I think I'd rather be cautious and
keep my prod server on 4.4 Release and then track the security
updates. 

Questions:

- Can I use Makefile.upgrade to prepare my system to build 4.4
Release? Or...

- Is my only option is to do a binary upgrade using Sysinstall,
or start from scratch?

It looks like I am not the only one going through a rough patch
here upgrading from 4.1 or 4.1.1, hope these questions are not
too redundant.

Thanks in advance.
Jason
