title: What's the best way to upgrade an old 1.2 meteor project to latest version 1.6 ?
body: <p>I have a big 1.2 meteor project which I want to upgrade to latest version of meteor 1.6. </p>
  
  <p>I have two paths to choose from and I am not sure which one to take, I need to know which criteria to consider when making my decision:</p>
  
  <p>1- Try to upgrade website this way: 1.2 -> 1.3 -> 1.4 -> 1.5 -> 1.6 following guidelines mentioned here: <a href="https://guide.meteor.com/1.6-migration.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://guide.meteor.com/1.6-migration.html</a></p>
  
  <p>2- Setup a fresh meteor 1.6 installation, then develop all site functionalities step by step. using reusable code, upgrading good packages, replace no longer maintained packages with more reliable meteor or npm packages.</p>
  
  <p>A meteor expert opinion is highly appreciated !</p>
