I don't think that's correct (depending on what you mean with minor version). You definitely don't always need to go from 2.x to 2.x+1. It's just that you can't always go straight to the newest release. For your case, I think you might be able to go straight from 2.15 to 2.21. You definitely don't need more than one intermediate version (in these versions, the file system revision changed only once from 22 to 23 in 2.17). > I have backends that were last used with s3ql > 2.15, which are no longer usable because Ubuntu's s3ql and llfuse packages > are incompatible (I started another topic about this and the suggestion was > to switch one or both versions, which I can't see a way to do in > Ubuntu). What problems do you encounter? This should be pretty easy to do. Worst case you could also install either from source. > I'm trying to go back and build each old version of s3ql from source > starting from 2.15, but the tests failed on 2.15 and 2.16 so I'm at a > standstill already.

You can't install the most recent llfuse version and expect it to work with old S3QL versions. > I'm just following the most recent install docs, for 2.21, which state > required versions of dependencies, but I don't know what these docs will > have said about how to build older versions.

Yes, in the tarball of the older versions. https://bitbucket.org/nikratio/s3ql/downloads/ Best, -Nikolaus -- GPG Fingerprint: ED31 791B 2C5C 1613 AF38 8B8A D113 FCAC 3C4E 599F »Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a Banana.« -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "s3ql" group.
