Database upgrade

[Yanis-Sauve]

Hello guys,

I do weekly updates to my FOG server, just to keep it running. I do the server updates, then a git pull each time.

For the database, do you think it would be possible to systematically display a page about the schema, update or not? I do get that sometimes the schema does not change, but each time I go through the fog install, I ask myself if everything is OK when no update page is displayed.

Thanks.

May I ask which git branch you are on? Run cd .../fogproject ; git branch to find out.

While I understand your situation I don’t think we’d want to display the schema update page even though there is no update.

If you are on dev-branch we might have an easier solution to this. We usually update the minor version number (1.5.7.x) every now and then - usually when bigger changes are pushed to the repo. I might just update this last digit of the version string ever time I push a change to the dev-branch. This way you see if it all worked by looking at the version number in the bottom right corner of the FOG web UI before and after updating.
