Re: Upgrading Synchronet *nix
By: Dumas Walker to ALL on Sat Sep 30 2017 08:54 pm
I am in the process of upgrading Synchronet from 3.15a to 3.16c on a debian box. I have installed all of the prereq packages. I have been reading the install page on the wiki. Is following these instructions the best way to *upgrade* an existing system, or is there a better way?
I'm not sure which instructions you're referring to. The default instructions at
http://wiki.synchro.net/install:nix will install the latest development version (3.17a, not v3.16c).
I want to be sure I am not going to lose anything by accidentally/purposefully doing what may be a fresh install. :)
You'll want to preserve your files in your Synchronet "ctrl" and "data" dirs/sub-dirs and possibly anything you modified in "exec".
