Topic: SME 7.3 Updates

[jpl]

I have a  a screwed up Server Manager Panel. Backup was the last contrib I loaded and that was where the server-manager panel screwed up. So far everything seems to be working OK tho.

I think the best way is to install test version of e-smith-backup which includes Backup with dar :
"yum --enablerepo=smetest update e-smith-backup" (or perhaps upload and install with --force)

(or perhaps upload and install with --force)

That should not be necessary.

Not on here on my server Manager, after update backup with "yum --enablerepo=smetest update e-smith-backup"

have something else?

Did you launch a post-upgrade event or a navigation-conf action ?

[Helgo]

yes

[jpl]

And which release of e-smith-backup is installed ?
it should be 1.15.0-14

[Helgo]

Mmm.  I use this,

yum --enablerepo=smetest update e-smith-backup

I have been trying to understand what happens when we do this:

yum --enablerepo=smetest update e-smith-backup

on a 7.3 server. I don't have a way to test as all my servers are production at this time and I use DAR2 for backup. I see a couple of possibilities.

1. Backup with DAR-panel gets updated and works correctly.
2. The original Backup or Restore-panel gets updated with the functionality of Backup with DAR.

If option #2 happens it will not fix the unsorted menu problem as the old panel stays there. You would need to check that the function you needed existed in the Backup or Restore panel and then possibly remove the Backup with DAR contrib to fix the unsorted mess. I raised a question in the bug here http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4229 about getting Backup with DAR back into the contribs repo for those using 7.3 so the single command would update that panel along with the rest of the contribs. The response was negative. I think you should raise a new bug on this specific issue as I do not think the current situation is recoverable without removing of the current contrib from your server.

WARNING this is another of my untested assumptions

This is not particularly helpful ,  I have given up !

On 7.3 fully updated and no contribs this is what I see...

William_syd,

What did you end up with on the server above? Did you get a Backup with DAR panel in server manager or did the Backup or Restore panel gain the functionality of Backup with DAR?

[stephen noble]

see http://wiki.contribs.org/Talk:DAR2
your talking about two different rpms

[mercyh]

Snoble,

Thanks for pointing out my error .

I actually realized they were two different contribs but did not realize that the original Backup with DAR contrib did not install a separate panel group in server-manager (only a set of sub menu options under the original backup and restore panel.) I thought that possibly the problem with those that have been unable to get an update to work from smetest repo was that the update in smetest was actually installing as a separate, new contrib instead of recognizing the old contrib and updating it, thus leaving the old contrib and translations in place.
