Use the repository to upgrade?

Post by 6125amartin »

I am running ZCS 8.7.0 open-source edition on Ubuntu 14.04. I would like to upgrade to ZCS 8.7.2, but the upgrade documentation seems to just say to download the new tarball and run ./install.sh. I enabled the repositories when I did the ZCS 8.7.0 install, so why can't I simply apt-get update && apt-get install zimbra-core to upgrade? If upgrading via the packages isn't supported, what is the purpose of the repository?

For the moment it is a transition period I think.

Hello,
I am sure this has been asked and answered before. but my forum searches result in unrelated hits and wiki and I do not get along.

I'm running 8.8.8 NE looking to install the 8.8.9 version

- Is apt-get upgrade the recommended method to get the upgrades?
Is a full system backup advisable beforehand? Normally I don't do this when using apt-get.

- Do I still need to manually install the new version using the release?

best regards

The quick answer is yes, you need to download the package from the Zimbra Downloads page - only some of the packages are provided via the repository.
