  • process for upgrading from cvs to git version of synchronet

    From Nick@1:103/705 to All on Fri Aug 28 13:43:24 2020
    Hi, I have the cvs version of synchronet and don't want to overwrite my currently installed version and lose data. I am using the raspberry pi for my BBS and want to make sure everything is upgraded from cvs to git successfully.
    Nothing currently exists in the wiki on how to properly do this and save my existing data and yes of course I would backup everything before I started the upgrade process.

    Hi, I have the cvs version of synchronet and don't want to overwrite my currently installed version and lose data.

Nothing currently exists in the wiki on how to properly do this and save my existing data and yes of course I would backup everything before I started the upgrade process.

    I'll try to get the wiki more up to do, but quickly, this should do it:

    $ cd ~/sbbs
    $ mkdir repo
    $ git clone git@gitlab.synchro.net:sbbs/sbbs.git repo
    $ cd repo/src/sbbs3
    $ make RELEASE=1 symlinks
    or
    $ make RELEASE=1 install (if you prefer file copies instead of symlinks)

    That'll update your executable binaries in your ~/sbbs/exec directory to the latest build from git.

    If you want to copy the exec/* (e.g. JavaScript files):
    $ cp -rf ~/sbbs/repo/exec ~/sbbs/exec

    You could so something similar for text, but be careful about over-writing any locally modified files.

    The *only* file I would recommend possibly copying from repo/ctrl to your sbbs/ctrl might be text.dat.

    $ git clone git@gitlab.synchro.net:sbbs/sbbs.git repo

    $ make RELEASE=1 symlinks

    When I run this script it's looking for a password.

    It's asking for *your* password so it can use setcaps to enable low-port-bindining on sbbs, I'm assuming.
