NO.  Binary upgrade first is the ONLY WAY to avoid us making fun of you 
and laughing at you.  Upgrading by source is NOT SUPPORTED.  Sometimes 
it can be done in one step by carefully following current.html, but 
often interim versions must be built, and even then, sometimes it is 
very difficult.  If you have time to do things the hard way, you need a 
hobby or to get out of the Linux mindset.  The tools to do things the 
easy way are sitting on your nearest mirror.

If you are trying to upgrade releases using current.html, you are doing 
it wrong.
If you are looking at upgrade-old.html, you are doing it VERY WRONG. 
And I just made it a bit more difficult to do very wrong by removing 
upgrade-old.html
