Hi, this is my story of an unsuccessful try to upgrade from 1.1.x to 1.2.0rc3. It's not a complaint, it's rather meant to show some misunderstandings of a beginner on ledger-smb (and some gotchas due to not reading README files).
As my server is on debian sarge and has outdated packages, I decided to try it on my desktop, which runs debian etch. I installed the following packages, after some fiddling with 'perl Build.PL': libapache2-mod-perl2 libapache2-mod-perl2-dev libapache2-mod-perl2-doc libmodule-build-perl liblocale-maketext-lexicon-perl libdbd-pg-perl libmime-lite-perl libdbi-perl libnet-tclink-perl libparse-recdescent-perl Then, I was still missing Config::Std. I've downloaded that (and Class::Std, a dependency) and built a debian packages from those. So I also installed: libversion-perl (another dependency of Config::Std), libclass-std-perl (homebrown), libconfig-std-perl (homebrown, too). Now perl Build.PL succeeded. Running ./Build test now, according to the UPGRADE documentation, failed: Can't open config file 'ledger-smb.conf' (no such file or directory). At that time, I've discovered the file README.debian and figured, it might be a good idea to read that. dists/deb/required_debs.txt lists these additional packages, which are not installed at that point in time. Please note, however, that perl Build.PL didn't complain: libconfig-any-perl libdata-dumper-simple-perl libhtml-linkextractor-perl libmd5-perl libmodule-pluggable-perl Now, I remembered vaguely, that upgrading should be done by copying all the new contents over the old directory. So, that's what I did for getting back my ledger-smb.conf back. Unfortunately, it still errored out :-( Using the ledger-smb.conf.default or installing the above packages didn't help. That's where I gave up. Regards Markus ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
