+- Test the DSpace 5.8 upgrade on DSpace Test
+- First take a backup of the current database:
+
+```
+$ pg_dump -b -v -o --format=custom -U dspace -f dspace-2018-07-01.backup dspace
+```
+
+- During the `mvn package` stage I kept getting issues with java running out of memory:
+
+```
+There is insufficient memory for the Java Runtime Environment to continue.
+```
+
+- So I reduced the Tomcat memory heap from 5120m to 4096m so I could try to allocate more to the build process (machine only has 8GB of RAM):
+
+```
+$ export JAVA_OPTS="-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Xmx1024m"
+$ mvn package...
+```
