Hi Mark and Mary, So just an update on fossology upgrade form 1.1.x to 1.2.1.
I was working with Gurbax to get this running on her Ubuntu machine and hadn't attempted any upgrade on my machine until this morning. I think last week I modified my sources.list to include updates from fossology - as listed on the fossology website: http://fossology.org/install#upgrading_from_fossology_1.2.0. So today I ran Update Manager on my Ubuntu machine and the 1.2.1 version of fossology and updates to postgresql 8.4 updates was included along with many more updates. So this ran which required an reboot and after starting postgresql and then starting fossology everything came up and worked without any problems except it seems the data from my previous scans where lost with the postgresql patches to 8.4. I think it will be OK as I can rescan the packages I previously scanned. The version of fossology installed is FOSSology version 1.2.1~3507. Thanks & Regards, William ________________________________ William Causey Texas Instruments Voice 214 567 2339 Cell: 214 803 8829 ________________________________ From: Mark Donohoe [mailto:mark.dono...@hp.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 19, 2010 1:42 PM To: Laser, Mary Cc: Causey, William; fossology@fossology.org Subject: Re: [FOSSology] Installing fossology on a Ubuntu karmic koala (9.10) machine William, The instructions below should work just fine. I just tried the apt-get remove on a system. Here is what I found: sudo apt-get remove fossology, only removed the fossology package. As a second step I did a sudo apt-get autoremove to remove the rest of the fossology packages. This worked just fine. The existing fossology db is still there with all the data, just the package got removed. Just what we wanted. Just in case it wasn't clear, if you want to remove source install files the fo-cleanold util can be used. It's in the utils directory of the sources. DO NOT use the --delete-everything option! It will remove your DB. Just run it with no options. sudo utils/fo-cleanold. Please let us know how this worked. You are the first person trying to upgrade from a 1.1.x release to a 1.2.1 release. Hope this helps. Laser, Mary wrote: Oops!
