[Dxspider-support] Information on the DXSpider Network

[Kin]

Hi all,

The information campaign for sysops to upgrade to the Mojo branch was
launched more than a year ago.

Since February 2023 until today, the evolution has been like this:

				2023		2024
Master branch (5455):	151	 --> 	92
Mojo branch (5457):		125	 --> 	235

In the Mojo branch:
				Build 	<524	524	532/3
	  				   55 	112 	68

Data at https://github.com/EA3CV/dxspider_info/tree/main/Node_version

It is a good time to consider migrating to the Mojo branch, which is the
most up to date and still evolving.

To upgrade from the Master branch, you can refer to Dirk's documentation at
/spider/UPGRADE.mojo 

It may also be a good time to upgrade old OSes and do a clean install:
https://github.com/glaukos78/dxspider_installation_v2
install_dxspider.sh

Or migrate data to a clean install:
https://github.com/glaukos78/dxspider_installation_v2/tree/devel
update_dxspider.sh

To upgrade Mojo, please refer to the following instructions documented by
Dirk:
cd /spider
git reset --hard
git pull
shut

You can also use the script:
https://github.com/EA3CV/dxspider_info/blob/main/check_build.pl

Or whatever method you like.

In any case, the important thing is to keep our nodes up to date to improve
the whole network.

Regards,
