Re: [FOSSology] Installing fossology on a Ubuntu karmic koala (9.10) machine
OK, so I think we'd rather use Ubuntu 10.04 but I have version 1.1.0 (fossology) running on my Ubuntu machine (10.04), is there a way I can upgrade to 1.2.1 without removing the data I have collected already with the older version of fossology? The general answer is that upgrades within the major version number (1 in this case) are supposed to work and if they don't it's a bug and you should report it. If the fossology team ever needs to break the database schema in incompatible ways, they will only do so in a major release. It might also be that the team decides to change the major version number without breaking things too. Either way hopefully there will be a way to go from 1.x to 2.x, even if it involves some utility that converts your data to the new way of doing things. See my other reply in this thread for a list of instructions on how to upgrade. -- Matt Taggart tagg...@fossology.org ___ fossology mailing list fossology@fossology.org http://fossology.org/mailman/listinfo/fossology
Re: [FOSSology] Installing fossology on a Ubuntu karmic koala (9.10) machine
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.

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.

Re: [FOSSology] Installing fossology on a Ubuntu karmic koala (9.10) machine
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: *** Initializing database tables *** /usr/local/lib/fossology/fo-postinstall: /usr/local/bin/fossinit: /usr/bin/php: bad interpreter: No such file or directory ERROR: Unable to initialize.

If you do reinstall postgres, then please remember to configure it as described in the INSTALL file, or fossology will not come up. After configure, you have to restart postgres. Hope that helps. Mary, Mark, We removed fossology with sudo apt-get remove fossology, then also ran the sudo apt-get autoremove command to clean up.

-Original Message- From: m...@lackof.org [mailto:m...@lackof.org] On Behalf Of Matt Taggart Subject: Re: [FOSSology] Installing fossology on a Ubuntu karmic koala (9.10) machine I just edited a little to explain that just rebuilding the packages is enough if people want to do that until proper packages are available. Thanks Matt! Also, we have not tried or tested fossology using postgresql 8.4, yet. You can be the first :) I use 8.4, it works fine. Maybe the fossology developers should try it :) Good idea. We'll plan to do that with the next development cycle (post-1.3). Mary ___ fossology mailing list fossology@fossology.org http://fossology.org/mailman/listinfo/fossology
