Topic: How do I upgrade to 7.0pre3?

[rick1908]

I currently have 7.0pre2 installed:

1. Do I download the new image and upgrade?
2. Is there a yum update path to pre3?

You can either use Yum from the console or in server manager go to "Software Installer" and you should see the necessary updates waiting to be installed.

once update complete's issue this command  copy and paste has is this goes for upgrade/update

Code: [Select]

signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot

and your server will reboot

viola! updated system to 7.0pre3

use these commands even if you are only updating the system

note replace the word upgrade with update to get latest updated packages for your system.

Thanks much....would be a good idea to Wiki it if not done already I didn't check yet.

Did run the above...seems to be fine.

One issue I noticed was /etc/e-smith-release wasn't updated and I was wondering if others have notice this or it's a local problem.

If anyone else has same issue then it's a minor bug which needs to goto
the tracker.

If the dev's notice this post and check then it might not even need a post to BT.
Didn't find anything in BT for branding e-smith-release.

Thanks again...

No, please raise the bug if something doesn't work as expected. We'll close it if it isn't appropriate. We're asking you to raise your own bugs, so we can ask for follow-up if required. We do read the forums from time to time, but please don't impose additional load on the dev team by asking them to raise bugs on your behalf. Thanks.

I tried to upgrade by using the commands above (7p1 to present release).

But this is what I got:

CentOS release 4.2 (Final) - SME Server 7.0pre1
[root@sme ~]# kudzu -q
[root@sme ~]# yum upgrade -y
==============================================================
WARNING: Additional commands may be required after running yum
==============================================================
Setting up Upgrade Process
Setting up repositories
Reading repository metadata in from local files
No Packages marked for Update/Obsoletion
================================================================
No new rpms were installed. No additional commands are required.

After the reboot it stil notes that it's a 7 pre 1.

I've been doing "yum update" and everything seems to work fine; all my installs are now pre4 with this method and none were installed from a pre4 CD.

How did you update?

Is it the identical same way as above, exept for "update" instead of "upgrade"?

[stiperstones]

Modified the commands to show how to upgrade for each release
and also update your current release hope this clarifys things..
