When I upgraded from 1.0 to 1.1, someone gave me these instructions.  
Are these instructions still valid for the upgrade of 1.1 to 1.2

```julia
Note that if you want to keep the same packages as in 1.0 you 
can copy (or rename if you are no longer using julia 1.0) 
the .julia/environments/v1.0 folder to .julia/environments/v1.1

$ cd ~/.julia
$ cd environments/
$ ls
v1.0
$ cp -rp v1.0 v1.1
$ ls -l
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 4 ssiew staff 136 18 Aug 2018 v1.0
drwxr-xr-x 4 ssiew staff 136 18 Aug 2018 v1.1

```
