I have inherited an eCommerce website that I am preparing for a soft launch. The code base is out of date, specifically, Drupal core is 7.23, 41 modules are out-of-date, and there are 31 Features dependent to some degree or another on any modules that get updated.
Should I apply *all* the updates before launching?
My gut tells me it is a show stopper (they must be applied) but I am asking for some sage advice on this list.

It's likely most of the updates are security updates, so you are better off updating. El 25/02/2014 20:17, "James R Stone" fndtn357@gmail.com escribió:

I would setup a development environment, run upgrades there; test the site, and then upgrade the production environment IF it works. Drush is awesome for syncing environments and upgrading.
I do think up-to-date software is a requirement for PCI compliance. I found these resources helpful:
