Hello,

currently my production ]po[ installation has most ACS packages of 5.9.0 version and some v. 5.9.1 (some packages are with significantly lower version numbers as 0.*, 1.*, 2.*).
All ]po[ packages are of 5.0.3.0.0 version.
/acs-admin/apm/packages-install shows even more ACS packages of v. 5.9.1 and many ]po[ packages of v. 5.0.4.0.0 as upgrade or install proposals.
Is it safe to upgrade these packages through Packages Install?
Is a general upgrade using cvs-update less risky?
What is the general rule of thumb for ]po[ upgrading?

Thanks. Antanas

    In addition there are some unmet dependencies :
    ACS Localization 5.9.1 acs-lang Requires: ref-timezones 5.9.1, ref-countries 5.9.1, ref-language 5.9.1
    ACS Subsite 5.9.1 acs-subsite Requires: acs-lang 5.9.1
    Is it safe to install these from the https://openacs.org/projects/openacs/download/ ?

    Hi Antanas,

    In the Home page, the system has an "System Updates" portlet.
    Whenver there is a message to run an upgrade script, please do so.
    Please perform a backup before, then you are ultra-safe.

    rule of thumb for upgrading

    This is not "upgrading".
    Upgrading is when you update the ]po[ source code.
    For decisions on upgrading, please check the "News" section on SourceForge or check the ]    project-open[ group on LinkedIn.

    We will soon announce the upgrade to ]po[ V5.1.

    Bests
    Frank

      Hi Frank,

      sorry for messing up "update" and "upgrade". In both situations I have "update" in mind.

      In the Home page, the system has an "System Updates" portlet.
      Whenver there is a message to run an upgrade script, please do so.

      I'm following exactly this one and hit the unmet dependency problem mentioned in my previous post. The dependency can not be resolved if I use ]po[ sources only. The required packages exist in the https://openacs.org/projects/openacs/download/ . Is it reasonable to install these from there?

    Hi!

    Sorry, I didn't 100% understand the issue then.

    Yes, you can update, and you can use the "force" checkbox to do so.

    Cheers
    Frank
