[Dxspider-support] Script to update DXSpider

[Boudewijn (Bob) Tenty]

Just read UPGRADE.mojo and later RBN.mojo in the spider directory and follow that.

It is not difficult at all at Ubuntu.

>>             I've done a lot of tests, not all possible because I don't have a wide variety of versions/installations, because the request I made to the sysop community was devastating, no sysop sent anything. For this reason, I cannot guarantee the success of all the updates, but since we have the possibility of restoring the backup, there should not be any problem.
