Debian Repositories: Upgrade from 4.0.17 to 4.0.17

Hi,

Has anyone upgraded to 4.0.17 using the debian repositories. I am running 4.0.7 and want to upgrade to the newest release 4.0.17.

Regards,

I don’t have information about how many people are using it in production
yet, but I recently uploaded 4.0.17 to Debian stable backports (currently
4.0.17-1~bpo70+1). Have a look at http://backports.debian.org/Instructions/
for more information.

I had some issues with upgrade and decided to reverse everything as it is a production system.

What is not clear is that: Should I download the rt4.0.17 package and its dependencies and install it manually?

Please keep emails on the mailing list rather than mailing me personally.

You can downgrade packages in Debian using, eg:

apt-get install request-tracker4=

where version number in this case will be 4.0.7-5+deb7u2.

You might have to explicitly list the other packages such as
rt4-clients, rt4-apache, etc., in such a command line.

You’ll also want to check whether any of the database upgrades between
4.0.7 and 4.0.17 are backwards-incompatible; I don’t know OTTOMH.

Dominic.
