If you're updating regularly then I recommend you start using svn. Do something like: service stop slimserver cd /usr/local/ mv slimserver slimserver.rpm mkdir -p slim/trunk cd slim/trunk svn co http://svn.slimdevices.com/repos/slim/trunk/server # or, for the 6.5 branch: # mkdir -p slim/v6.5 # cd slim/v6.5 # svn co http://svn.slimdevices.com/repos/slim/branches/6.5/server cd /usr/local ln -s slim/trunk/server slimserver # or ln -s slim/v6.5/server slimserver service slimserver start Now all you need to do to update to a new version (or regress to a previous version is: cd /usr/local/slimserver # to upgrade to latest revision: svn up # to switch to a specific revision: svn up -r12345 R. _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
