I have created a network HTTP install and upgrade for SME 7. The install works great. The upgrade is what I need help on. The upgrade does upgrade the server, but the post-install event is run instead of the post-upgrade event.
I don't know enough about the install process for CentOS/SME 7. If you want to give a short tutorial on that, that would be great as well. I have searched for that, but come up empty in trying to find a site the explains it.
From what I can tell at some time either the kickstart.py or smeinstallclass.py file is run as I see this being executed:
script = ( "/sbin/syslogd &\n"
"sleep 2\n"
"/sbin/e-smith/signal-event post-install\n" )
Is there a parameter that is being passed during the cd-rom install that makes the install run the smeupgradeclass.py that I need to send when trying to do the upgrade? I can see the post-upgrade event in this file.
Here is a copy of my kickstart file that was modified from the anaconda-ks.cfg generated during an install.
Kickstart file automatically generated by anaconda.
