Dear mentors, I'm updating the spotweb package currently in Wheezy to a more recent version. The packaging is in git on Alioth (http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=users/janpascal-guest/spotweb.git). Package works fine in unstable, I think I've also tackled the other issues with the package (removing an embedded library and replacing it with a reference to the proper Debian package).
My problem is that upstream does not provide a single-step database upgrade from the version in Wheezy to the current version. Normally database upgrades are performed by running a PHP script (upgrade-db.php) which uses a number of other PHP script. When upgrading to the most recent release, the upstream upgrade script gives an error message and suggests to download an intermediate version and run the upgrade-db script from that version. Trouble is that said script needs the entire intermediate release of Spotweb, so I can't just include the intermediate upgrade script and call that from postinst.sh. Any ideas on how to proceed? Thanks for any suggestions! Jan-Pascal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
