Odoo Server (MOVED TO GITHUB)

Does the Nightly Builds repository instalation update modules in instances?

Asked by Damián Soriano

In Ubuntu 10.04 I had an instance of OpenERP 6.1 running. I had added the line

deb http://nightly.openerp.com/6.1/nightly/deb/ ./

to the file '/etc/apt/sources.list' so that the Nightly Builds are installed from the repository.

My question is: when a new version of OpenERP is updated from the repo, the modules installed in the instance of OpenERP are updated as well or I have to manually restart the server with the '--update all' option?

Hi Damián,

As you may know, the OpenERP distributions infamously lack the migration scripts to upgrade from one major release to another. These scripts are kept closed source and used for the migration service included in the paid warranty contract that OpenERP SA offers. You should be fine though if you stick to nightly updates of a single major release such as 6.1.

The Apt post-install script itself does not perform the update of the database, it only restarts the OpenERP service. I can understand that it refrains from performing the update as it may have some difficulties determining which Postgresql databases are actually OpenERP databases that belong to its particular OpenERP instance. After the upgrade of the packages, you should indeed run the --update all command on all databases of the instance.

Cheers,
Stefan.
