Topic: V3.0

[SARK devs]

Hello

Latest point releases have been put up to the 2.2, 2.4 and 2.5 directories.

V3.0 Quickstart is up on the wiki (even if V3 itself isn't yet), however there is a screen shot so you can see a little of what it looks like.  The browser stuff is fast - really fast compared to V2.

So v3 replaces ALL previous versions of sail?

I'm currently using sail-2.2.4-35 with Asterisk 1.4.21.1

Do I need to upgrade anything?

If yes, what step and file need to be upgraded with which files and there locations?

[SARK devs]

You don't need to do anything yet.  We will continue to support and upgrade existing sail releases 2.2 , 2.4 and 2.5 for now but yes, 3.0 will eventually supercede those releases, just as SME 8.x will supercede 7.x. 

3.0 is still very new and won't be ready for production for a little while, however we would encourage those of you have spare real or virtual machines to help us test by downloading and installing it when we make it available.

We have only just started work on the public documentation but it will contain upgrade details when we release the code.

Kind Regards

Count me in.  My only question now is, would you prefer 7.5rc2 or 8.0b5 testing?

I can go either way. I will have another machine to play with on the weekend

[SARK devs]

its an 8b5 only release right now.

Thanks for your support,  it will be ready for download soon

Kind Regards

Instead of using rpm, can YUM be used?


--------
Required perl module
Newer releases of SARK require perl-File-ReadBackwards and perl-DBD-SQLite which aren't on the CentOS repos. There is a copy on the SAIL download page... Use rpm -Uvh to install e.g. -
rpm -Uvh http://sarkpbx.com/sail/sail-2.3.2/perl-File-ReadBackwards-1.04-1.2.el4.rf.noarch.rpm
-------

[SARK devs]

perl-readbackwards is a single rpm so its usually easier to use rpm but you can use yum localinstall if you wish.

Thanks. Reason for asking was to see if we can follow SME Server default install/upgrade mechanisms through YUM and maintain consistency.

[SARK devs]

Er....

No you can't. at least not for Asterisk.  See here

Will v3.0 work on sme7.5?

[SARK devs]

Yes I think it probably will.  We haven't tested on CentOS4, but it should work as long as you run Asterisk 1.4.29 or better.

Do be aware that V3 is still alpha so there may be database changes in the next few releases which will mean that you have to re-create the SQL database.  This isn't difficult but you may lose stuff you've added. 

You can download V3 now (http://sarkpbx.com/sail/sail-3.0.0/) if you want to play with it.  We'll be asking for testers for the next point release, which will be -27 or -28 depending upon how well our unit tests go.

Tried V3 on a 7.5VM, but not working. This is what I did: (clean install of 7.5 and asterisk from source .32)

- wget http://sarkpbx.com/sail/sail-3.0.0/sail-3.0.0-26.noarch.rpm
- wget http://sarkpbx.com/sail/sail-3.0.0/perl-File-ReadBackwards-1.04-1.2.el4.rf.noarch.rpm
- wget http://sarkpbx.com/sail/sail-3.0.0/perl-DBD-SQLite-1.14-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm

then 'yum localinstall' the perl packages.

perl-DBD-SQLite-1.14-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm will not install on a 7.5 box due to glibc version mismatch, so I downloaded:

- wget http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/perl-DBD-SQLite/perl-DBD-SQLite-1.14-1.el4.rf.i386.rpm

which installs perfectly

When trying yum localinstall SarkV3, there are some unresolved dependencies listed which you can 'yum install' without any additional repos:

Installed: xinetd.i386 2:2.3.13-4.5.el4
Installed: tftp-server.i386 0.39-3.el4
Installed: nmap.i386 2:3.70-1
Installed: perl-Date-Calc.i386 5.3-9
Installed: perl-Bit-Vector.i386 6.3-3

The rpm -Uvh --nodeps sail-3.0.0-26.noarch.rpm (see other thread why sailV3 thinks the incorrect asterisk is installed, and rpm with --nodeps is required....)

- /sbin/e-smith/signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot

Result:

Menu items are listed in server-manager but clicking any of them results in:

Software error:

DBD::SQLite::db prepare failed: no such table: tt_help_user(1) at dbdimp.c line 271 at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/sark/SarkSubs.pm line 1047.
For help, please send mail to the webmaster (admin), giving this error message and the time and date of the error.

[SARK devs]

3.0 is intended for CentOS5 sme8

It may run on 7.5, but we've never tested it there.

did you run signal-event postupgrade; signal-event reboot after the install?

Yep

[guest22]

ps. would the dependency check of the Asterisk version also work if the rpm checks for 'asterisk -V'
