Upgrade 3.6.1 to 3.6.3

RT Users

Hey there,

is it that easy?

  1. ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/rt3/ <- found that in the old
    config.log of rt-3.6.1 source as “Invocation command line was”

  2. make testdeps

  3. make upgrade

  4. Update etc/RT_SiteConfig.pm

?

Greetings,
Joey

Yep, it’s that easy. However, I like to keep previous installations intact
in case any problems come up. So, for example:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/rt3.6.3
make testdeps
make install

Copy over the old Site config from /rt3 (or update the new one in
/usr/local/rt3.6.3)

Then make a symlink:

ln -s /usr/local/rt3.6.3 /usr/local/rt3

Of course, if your current installation is /rt3, you’d want to tar that
directory up and then remove the /rt3 directory before creating the sym
link.

Doing it this way, you don’t have to clear out the mason cache from the
current installation.

Well, this will “overwrite” all my custom changes made to RT (not those
made in the database, i know - but all *.pm for ex.). So what files does
the “make upgrade” modify/replace?

You need to make a list of the files you have changed so that you can
update those files with your changes in any new installation.
