I think it's a great script. I like the idea of not having to take down the whole system for an upgrade, but as the packages keep evolving as well as the distros themselves, I believe that ALL of the scripts used for QMT need to evolve as well. I understand that Eric is very busy with his new job (kudos to him!) and like we all have happen to us, we don't have time to maintain some of our previous projects. I know *I* am one of the first guilty ones on that. I whip out little snips of code to fix something, and then never go back to them. I don't expect anyone to use my old pieces of code if they don't work, especially if I take on a new project at work and neglect the previously mentioned code. If the fix is something simple like fixing the current.txt file, I can work on getting that fixed. If it's more involved, to be honest, I just don't want to invest the time to dig any deeper. I don't use the script myself. For that matter, you don't even want to know how old the Toaster packages are on most of my systems. They work, so I'm not going to go and try to fix them better. Anyway, I'm going to get my 2nd cup of coffee, and by then I'll quit jumping all around ideas <grin>. Thanks. Lemme know if the code changes to the qtp-upgrade script are easily done.On Jun 7, 2007, at 3:46 AM, Jake Vickers wrote:Website (and QMT) is maintained by Nick and Erik. qtp-upgrade is maintained by Eric (Shubes). I maintain QTP and QMT-ISO, as well as some other little things like the backup and restore scripts (Shubes also helps maintain QTP). I have no problem leaving qtp-upgrade in QTP, but if it begins to cause problems I don't want to leave it in there for everyone to mess up their systems on. *I* don't have time to maintain it, nor really want to wade it at all.Thanks for explaining this - also, it appears that even with the new order reference, there were plenty of other problems. I just spent 3 hours manually upgrading my QMT, because the qtp-newmodel script failed repeatedly.
