Good idea.  We'll plan to do that with the next development cycle (post-1.3).

Additional information on another installation attempt with fossology 1.2.1 on 
Ubuntu 10.04.

I see another error on another Ubuntu build machine (Ubuntu 10.04).  The 
following error is seen (from the attached po.out file).

OK we have removed the database and have installed postgresql-8.3 and it 
started OK.
So when we run the fo-postinstall we get the following error at the end:

I have been using the term "source install" to refer to an installation done 
with the release source tarball available from sourceforge 
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/fossology/files/fossology/1.2.1/fossology-1.2.1.tar.gz/download).
  I will be more clear about this in the future.

Hi William,

Yes, you can use the following procedure to upgrade from 1.1.1 to 
1.2.1 on Ubuntu:


1. Stop the scheduler & db server

a. sudo /etc/init.d/fossology stop

b. sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql stop

2. Remove the current install  (this will NOT remove the database or 
repository)


a. For package installs, use apt-get remove fossology

b. For source installs, use fo-cleanold from the source tree

3. Install FO 1.2.1 from sources using the steps outlined in the 
Ubuntu 10.04 install guide 
.


Mark - Please confirm or make corrections, as necessary.  If these 
instructions are correct, let’s post them to the website for future 
reference.

Re: [FOSSology] Installing fossology on a Ubuntu karmic koala (9.10) machine

[Causey, William]

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,

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.

Hi William,
Yes, you can use the following procedure to upgrade from 1.1.1 to 1.2.1 on 
Ubuntu:

1.   Stop the scheduler & db server

a.   sudo /etc/init.d/fossology stop

b.  sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql stop

2.   Remove the current install  
(this will NOT remove the database or repository)

a.   For package installs, use 
apt-get remove fossology

b.  For source installs, use 
fo-cleanold from the source tree

3.   Install FO 1.2.1 from sources 
using the steps outlined in the Ubuntu 10.04 install 
guide.
Mark - Please confirm or make corrections, as necessary.  If these instructions 
are correct, let's post them to the website for future reference.
