Redmine 0.7.1

First, I would like to thank every one involved in the project for the excellent work and the great push that BitNami gives to the open source projects.

Would it be possible to update the Redmine stack to use the latest 0.7.1 version.

Thanks in advance.

Hello!

We’re working on it :)

Cheers

It may take some time because we are also updating some gems, by the way.

Excellent, Thanks a lot Antonio, looking forward for it.

Do you have a rough estimate on when to expect that. I will need to free ~ 10 min. for the installation ;-)

Thanks again for all the excellent work the full team is doing on this site.

I’m watching this closely as we are using Redmine through Bitnami and it works fairly well (though we call delete PIDs to shut it down to apply settings).

PS. do you think that you can provide an upgrade utility or instructions? We’ve started using it even though it was just an RC.

Hi,

You can follow two ways to upgrade Redmine. You can upgrade the Redmine application without update your BitNami installation. You can follow the instructions to upgrade Redmine from a downloaded release at http://www.redmine.org/wiki/redmine/RedmineUpgrade.

To execute “rake” you can specify the complete path for example /installation_dir/ruby/bin/rake. Also you should copy the redmine/config/mongrel_cluster.yml to the new redmine directory to preserve the configuration and copy the redmine/scripts folder because the BitNami stack uses this folder to manage the servers.

Another way to update BitNami Redmine is to install the Stack in another place. Then, you should extract the data with “mysqldump” and then insert into the new database. The Stacks are independent and you can install more than one (and running at the same time if you change the ports during the installation). It is ideal to have a “development” version to play and a “production” version.

OK, this is my first Ruby app and I’m not sure how ruby works yet.

Your second option would not help if they upgraded the DB, correct?

Hi,

You have not any problem if the application changes the database schema. You only should execute the ruby command: “rake db:migrate” to adapt your database to the new database schema.

That will keep the data intact, correct?

I’m practicing with it right now following the directions at http://www.redmine.org/wiki/1/RedmineUpgrade

But when I do the first step, nothing seems to happen. My Redmine is installed at /opt/redmine

jcz@asterionella:/opt/redmine$ sudo svn update
Skipped ’.’
jcz@asterionella:/opt/redmine$

Thoughts?

Hi,

You can not use the subversion method to update the Redmine application because we are build the Stack with the a Redmine release. You should follow the “upgrading form a downloaded release” steps.

Just a quick note. The Redmine Stack creates these folder into your intallation directory: mysql, apache2, common, subversion, redmine and other folders. If you installed your Redmine stack in the /opt/redmine directory, you should update the Redmine application files which are in /opt/redmine/redmine.

I hope it helps :)

Hello,

Any updates on this? I think the update should use 0.7.2 which has been already released, this will make it worth the wait :-), am I correct?

Thanks.

Hi,

We are concentrating our effort to update RubyStack and then we will update Redmine and Tracks. Sorry for the delay, we will update to the last stable version of Redmine.
