OCS upgrade problems

[ramon]

Hello all,

I'm not really sure what happened, but somehow an OCS installation I'm trying to upgrade has a code version older than the database, and it's saying the database is 2.1.2.1, while the code version is 2.1.2.0.
However, on the About page, the version displayed is 2.1.2.1....
The upgrade.php check informs that the newest version is 2.3, which I'm not so eager to use as it's not stable yet.

Any ideas as to what may have caused this?
I can't find an OCS full version 2.1.2.1 to download nor a patch from 2.1.2.0 to 2.1.2.1 to apply.

Any ideas?

Hi Ramón,

IIRC, we forgot to update the version descriptor when we released OCS 2.1.2-1. You can generate a diff file between OCS 2.1.2-0 and 2.1.2-1 using CVS:

Code: Select all

cvs rdiff -u -r ocs-2_1_2-0 -r ocs-2_1_2-1 ocs2 > ocs.diff

Review the resulting ocs.diff file and see which version you've got (i.e. whether the changes describe have already been applied).

Hello Alec,

Thanks for the command, but it's throwing an error, obviously because of my lack of knowledge on how to use CVS properly.
I tried running this command within the OCS root folder (which is cipecc_upgrade) and also outside of it, but something is missing.
Do I need to connect to the CVS before?

Code: Select all

myserver@ibcit:~/general/ocs2_rio_test# cvs rdiff -u -r ocs-2_1_2-0 -r ocs-2_1_2-1 cipecc_upgrade > ocs.diff
cvs rdiff: No CVSROOT specified!  Please use the `-d' option
cvs [rdiff aborted]: or set the CVSROOT environment variable.

Hi Ramón,

See docs/README-CVS in any of our releases for information on how to connect to our anonymous CVS. You'll need to use the value of the -d option specified there.

Thanks Alec.

I tried following the commands, but it is still complaining:

Code: Select all

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@lib-pkp.lib.sfu.ca:/cvs login
Logging in to :pserver:anonymous@lib-pkp.lib.sfu.ca:2401/cvs
CVS password:
/var/lib/git/cvs/ does not seem to be a valid GIT repository

/var/lib/git/cvs/ is not a valid repository


The worst thing is that I downloaded and installed a fresh OCS 2.1 (latest version) and the upgrade.php script still complains that my code is old.
Any other way to fix this?

Same problem here. Upgrade or Patch from 2.1.2.0 (the package on the http://pkp.sfu.ca/ocs_download) only update the database to 2.1.2.1 and not the code:

usr@pc:/var/www/ocs$ php tools/upgrade.php check
Code version: 2.1.2.0
Database version: 2.1.2.1
Latest version: 2.3.0.0
Database version is newer than code version!

Well,
getting the last OCS release and making a "clean" upgrade (3. Full Package) as specified in the docs/UPGRADE fields work pretty well for me.
