I did that upgrade a month or two ago. It seems that all config settings survive the upgrade just fine. I also installed the Crypt::GOST module for faster encryption.
The various fixes are great, but the bad thing I've noticed is that memory usage seems to have skyrocketed. ASSP was regularly using 700-1000 MB with b.13276 and would run indefinitely. It is now using 2-3 GB on a server with 4 GB total RAM, and it will keep increasing until the server memory and the swap are exhausted and the OOM process kills off assp to free up memory. So it only runs for two or three weeks now before being killed off. I would be interested in knowing if you (or anyone else) see this behavior too. It seems there were many changes to memory handling, gc, and memory leaks fixed in the versions in between, so I'm trying to narrow down where this came in. -C aquilinux said the following on 11/6/2013 11:41 PM: > thanks for your reply. > i will follow your recommendations. > i wanted just to be sure that no collected/stored data/db entries would be > overwritten/deleted/reset. > > regards. > > > On Tue, Nov 5, 2013 at 9:43 AM, Thomas Eckardt > <thomas.ecka...@thockar.com>wrote: > >> recommendation: >> >> - replace also the 'version.txt' file >> - read the changelog >> >> Thomas >> >> >> >> >> >> >> Von: aquilinux <aquili...@gmail.com> >> An: ASSP development mailing list <assp-test@lists.sourceforge.net>, >> Datum: 05.11.2013 09:38 >> Betreff: [Assp-test] upgrading from ASSP version 2.3.3(13276) to >> 2.3.4(latest) >> >> >> >> hi all. >> is there any caveat or recommendation or special modules/packages >> requirements for upgrading from ASSP version 2.3.3(13276) to version >> 2.3.4(latest)? >> i'm running a 2 hosts production system on Linux, perl 5.14, all databases >> as tables on Mysql. >> >> What i'd like to avoid is: >> - database tables truncation (spamdb, hmmdb, whitelistdb) >> - possible misconfiguration of what is now configured (new flags, ...) >> - known issues based on your upgrading experiences >> >> thanks in advance. >> >> cheers. >> >> >> -- >> "Madness, like small fish, runs in hosts, in vast numbers of instances." >> >> Nessuno mi pettina bene come il vento. >> >> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >> November Webinars for C, C++, Fortran Developers >> Accelerate application performance with scalable programming models. >> Explore >> techniques for threading, error checking, porting, and tuning.
