[Dxspider-support] For all sysops

[Kin]

Marco,

 

Forget about cvs, just git.

 

Setting a time to update I don't think is the best option. Occasionally several builds may come out that fix bugs or add important improvements. That's why the best way is to check the Changes file that reports the changes introduced in each release.

 

It might be interesting to have a place to check Changes without trying to update, I don't know.

 

The method is very easy. You can do it with an inclusion in the crontab:

0 0 1 * * spawn("cd /spider; git reset --hard; git pull")

 

There is a script - but it's not official - that allows you to make a backup before the upgrade. You can find it here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8j1xdoinqwomr50/check_build.pl?dl=0

Hi,

when you are on the Mojo branch, what's the best way to keep the node updated ?

Is there a script to pull updates from git or cvs ?

Sorry for the silly question. I plan to apply updates every month.

Thanks

Marco

First:

Full marks to Kin for grabbing this and driving it forwards; it needed to be done.

Second:

Please do NOT sit back and think this is the end of the journey, because it is not. There is still more to do.

For those on the Mojo branch (where the good stuff is and our destiny lies) – please keep your nodes updated.

For those on the (legacy) master branch: We really DO need you to move off of that and across to the Mojo branch at the earliest opportunity. It makes zero sense for Dirk to have to try to maintain parallel branches, and we should be very grateful for all the effort you has put in (and continues to put in). I am sure you will all understand that it is not reasonable to expect him to keep duplicating effort.

 

If you are on the legacy branch and need help / advice moving across (or there are difficulties with running the Mojo branch in your environment) then PLEASE reach out to the list for ideas / support / real assistance. There are MANY people out here that will offer assistance and encouragement.

Onwards and upwards, folk!
