[quote=“Wayne Workman, post: 43563, member: 28155”]Not a problem at all.
So, the “r” means revision (at least in my head, it works, I’m not changing).
Revision versions are newer than the latest release. The latest release is 1.2.0. The current latest revision is 3096 (but knowing Tom, it won’t be for long, probably within the hour).
You’ll find lots and lots of bug fixes, feature implementations, performance increases, and a wider range of supported hardware and Linux distributions with the latest revision. You may also find bugs that aren’t known about, but also keep in mind that it’s very unlikely that a unknown bug would prevent you from imaging, and wouldn’t result in any information loss.
To update to the latest revision, it’s pretty easy. Look at this wiki page: [url]http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/SVN[/url]
I use Fedora 21, and the exact steps I take to update to a specific revision are like this:
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=monospace][FONT=Tahoma][COLOR=#141414][CODE]yum install svn[/CODE][/COLOR][/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR]
[FONT=Tahoma]You only need to install svn once…[/FONT]
[FONT=Tahoma][COLOR=#000000][FONT=monospace][FONT=Tahoma][COLOR=#141414][CODE]svn co -r 3096 [URL]https://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code/trunk[/URL] /opt/fog_trunk[/CODE][/COLOR][/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT]
[FONT=Tahoma]And, for whatever revision I want, I’d just change the number in this line.[/FONT]
[FONT=Tahoma][COLOR=#000000][FONT=monospace][FONT=Tahoma][COLOR=#141414][CODE]cd /opt/fog_trunk[/CODE][/COLOR][/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT]
[FONT=Tahoma][COLOR=#000000][FONT=monospace][FONT=Tahoma][COLOR=#141414][CODE]cd bin[/CODE][/COLOR][/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT]
[FONT=Tahoma][COLOR=#000000][FONT=monospace][FONT=Tahoma][COLOR=#141414][CODE]./installfog.sh[/CODE][/COLOR][/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT]
[FONT=Tahoma]If you’re not using Fedora, I think the only thing that changes is the “yum” command. You’d instead use that apt-get thingy to install svn. So, for Ubuntu, you’d use something like this to install svn.[/FONT]
[FONT=Tahoma][COLOR=#000000][FONT=monospace][FONT=Tahoma][COLOR=#141414][CODE]sudo apt-get install subversion[/CODE][/COLOR][/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT]
[FONT=Tahoma]When you run the installer, it should just carry over all of your current settings. It does for me at least. You’ll also be asked during the install to update your database schema. You do that by going to FOG’s Web GUI and just clicking the update button, and waiting for it to get done. There might be some errors from updating the database, but they are non-impacting and are related to supporting upgrading from much older versions I think.[/FONT][/quote]
Wayne,
Thank you very much for the detailed information. I will give this a try and let you know if it fixes the issue or not.
