Some of this is unnecessary and confusing. Here's a better list IMO: ======================================================================== How to upgrade a single system install ====================================== For debian package installs: 1) configure apt to point at the apt source of the new version for your distro version (may not even be needed depending on your situation) 2) apt-get upgrade 3) PROFIT!!!!!! For upstream installs: All steps as root 1) stop the scheduler using '/etc/init.d/fossology stop' 2) remove the fossology software (but not data) a) If you still have the build tree from the current installed version do "make uninstall" b) IF you don't have the build tree from the current installed version OR your current version is <1.0.0 OR you are lazy, THEN run "utils/fo-cleanold". (DO NOT add any options to fo-cleanold, you are just trying to remove the software, not the data.) 3) install the new version a) In the new source tree run "make;make install" b) run "/usr/local/lib/fossology/fo-postinstall" 4) start the scheduler using '/etc/init.d/fossology start' NOTES: * If you messed up an upstream install and want to start over, fo-cleanold has flags you can use to do that, but they will DELETE DATA so make sure you know what you are doing. Run 'fo-cleanold --help' for more info. * Upgrading from an upstream install to a package install or vise versa is possible, but tricky. It is recommended that you stick with one or the other. ======================================================================== I don't know if rpm upgrades work or even if they are supposed to work, someone else will have to answer that. -- Matt Taggart [email protected] _______________________________________________ fossology mailing list [email protected] http://fossology.org/mailman/listinfo/fossology
