Re: [weewx-user] Upgrading from 3.8.0 prior to going to xubuntu 20.04

[Tom Keffer]

This would not be a wise move. If you started with a deb install, you
should stick with it. Changing to a setup.py install just by changing
setup.cfg will not work (there are other differences).

Alternatively, you could switch installation methods, but this would
require copying some files to their new place. Basically the reverse of the
wiki article *How to convert from setup.py install to debian install
*
.

[weewx-user] Upgrading from 3.8.0 prior to going to xubuntu 20.04

[Iain Simpson]

In preparation to a move to latest xubuntu (20.04.1) from 18.04 I am 
looking to upgrade to the latest version of weewx.

I am still running 3.8.0 and have made some additions (to interface with 
Conky).
Reading the upgrade documentation I was going to go via the 'setup.py' 
route.
Checking my current setup I am running from
/usr/share/weewx
/etc/weewx
/var/lib/weekx (sqlite)

The upgrade documentation says to change setup.cfg to 'previous 
installation' this presumably will be '/usr/share/weewx'

I am wondering whether this is the wisest route or whether to 
a. use the '.deb' file and rebuild my customisation.
b. stick with Python 2

It's some years since I did the original weewx installation and a lot has 
been forgotten.

Can anyone advise please.
