Hey All,
I’m going to give this a go, but want to confirm based on this: https://weewx.com/docs/5.0/upgrade/ I’m just running on a raspi, and installed via apt, so I should just be able to do as documented here and upgrade this way? I swear a few months back there wasn’t going to be a packaged version of 5, and the emphasis was pushing toward using pip… that changed along the way? (sorry for being oblivious to that change, I try to at least glance at all the emails via this list, I must have just missed it). Thanks! From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Tom Keffer Sent: Thursday, December 21, 2023 3:07 PM To: weewx-development <[email protected]> Subject: [weewx-development] V5.0 release candidate available Celebrate the solstice (coming up in 4 hours) and the start of Winter with a WeeWX release candidate! Changes since b17 We gave up on a standalone logger and have gone back to whatever your system uses. This is more robust to permission problems, but may make it harder to get the logs back out. See the wiki article View logs <https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/view-logs> for tips on how to convince your system to let you have a look. As always, you can add a [Logging] section to weewx.conf and set up your own rotating log system. See the article WeeWX V4 and logging <https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/WeeWX-v4-and-logging> for how to do this. Pip For pip installs, please delete your old virtual environment, then install from scratch by following the pip install instructions <https://weewx.com/docs/5.0/quickstarts/pip/#install-in-a-virtual-environment> . While upgrading should work, we are particularly interested in the experience of a new install, including setting up a daemon and udev files. Make sure to follow the new instructions that use a daemon setup script. Debian For Debian package installs, modify /etc/apt/sources.list as follows: echo "deb [arch=all] https://weewx.com/ <https://weewx.com/apt-test/python3> apt-test/python3 buster main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/weewx.list Note the "apt-test". This tells apt to look there for the beta release, instead of the normal repository. You may want to change it back when you're done. Red Hat For Red Hat package installs, put this in /etc/yum.repos.d/weewx.repo [weewx] name=weewx baseurl=http://weewx.com/ <http://weewx.com/yum-test/weewx/el9> yum-test/weewx/el9 enabled=1 Note the "yum-test". This tells yum to look there for the beta release, instead of the normal repository. Again, you may want to change things back when you're done. What we're looking for 1. We are interested in your upgrade experience. Did the installers get your configuration file right? Skins? Is the daemon configured correctly? 2. With this release, we have included udev rules to set the correct permissions for devices. Did it work? If not, did unplugging then replugging the device work? 3. How about logging? Is it going to your system logger? Do the labels look reasonable? Thanks! -Tom & Matt -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-development" group.
