Topic: Upgraded to Horde 3.0, changes to yum.conf?

[holck]

I have successfully used Bennett's script to install Horde 3.0 on my SME 6.01-01 - this is a significant improvement, thank you! But I still want to be able to do maintenance updates with yum. So I guess I should add the following line to /etc/yum.conf, right?

Code: [Select]

exclude=horde imp turba kronolith mnemo nag ingo accounts mimp gollem

I hope John or someone else can answer your original question. (I had thought that the yum updates would not affect the H3 versions).

If you are using php 4.3.x on SME 6 then you should be aware of two issues:
* PHP 4.4.2 has been released with security updates
* Upgrading PHP past 4.3.9 will complicate a later upgrade to SME 7

It may be easier to upgrade to SME 7

yeah, you will need to put the exclude in there for those RPM's since I didn't use RPM's for the install.  If you don't, then after your system comes back up, you will need to run the script again to get you back to horde 3.  I remember testing that a while back to make sure that would fix the issue, but can't remember for sure.  I guess I'll put that on my todo list to test again.

I tried the yum upgrade, but broke Horde 3.0. I guess I forgot to exclude e-smith-imp, so the line in yum.conf should really be:

Code: [Select]

exclude=horde imp turba kronolith mnemo nag ingo accounts mimp gollem e-smith-imp
Or?

I'd add e-smith-horde and e-smith-turba as well.  
It probably really needs to read as

Code: [Select]

exclude=horde imp turba e-smith-horde e-smith-imp e-smith-turba

None of the other modules are installed by an SME Server install.

If might also be good for you to post your exclude line so others can use it as a reference.

Yes - If the final 'exclude' is posted I'll edit my post in the announce thread to reflect this.

Ian,

What I have included above seems to work without any issues.  I have tested this on a 6.0, 6.0.1, and 6.5 server.  The horde updates were not installed and my webmail was not broken.  This should to be placed under the main section.

You can contact me offline if you want so we can decide on how and where to document gotchas like this.

To all others,

This is the price we pay for having a customized system.

I can confirm that rerunning the script fixes the Horde 3 install.
