How to upgrade 2.7.1 to 2.8.1

[Gerard Hooton]

I got the following notification:

A new version of Rdiffweb backup management system is now available for upgrade. It's recommend that you upgrade your server to take advantage of the enhancements and bug fixes included in this version.

How do I d that on RHEL 8 ?

[Gerard Hooton]

Sorry it's on  Linux 5.10.0-23-amd64 (Debian gnu/linux 11)

[Gerard Hooton]

OK, fixed, using Debian apt update.

I forgot to do systemctl restart rdiffweb

Hello Gerard Hooton,

Thanks for reaching out. Indeed a new version of rdiffweb was released yesterday !

I did not send Rdiffweb release notes to this group. To receive the release announcement you may subscribe to our newsletters.

Here the release announcement:

Introducing Rdiffweb 2.8.0: The Latest Advancements in Open Source Backup Management

I'm glad you managed to upgrade Rdiffweb on your own. But I'm curious how you did it on RHEL using the APT repository ! I did not know it was even possible to use APT in RedHat.

Sorry that was my error, the system that rdiffweb is on is Debian not RHEL.

Hello Gerard,

In that case a simple `apt update` followed by `apt upgrade` should do the trick.

Also :

systemctl restart rdiffweb

Thanks Patrik.

`systemctl restart rdiffweb` should not be required. The upgrade should trigger the service restart by itself. Will check on my side.
