the intent is that you should be able to upgrade from any older version of weewx to the latest version of weewx in a single step. if that does not happen properly, then it is a bug. the core stuff should not be a problem - all of the built-in drivers and services are tested pretty well for a new release. custom skins should be ok, but if they use custom search list extensions or other python code, they may be affected by changes to the internal APIs. if you have much customization, be sure to check the upgrade guide for all of the details: http://weewx.com/docs/upgrading.htm as vince mentioned, the early .deb and .rpm packages had a few hiccups. but they're pretty stable now. in fact, using apt-get and the weewx apt repository is the easiest way to keep a debian installation up to date. the systemd stuff is going to be a pita for a long time. the init scripts should work fine under systemd, but if they do not, there is a sample systemd configuration in the util directory of the weewx distribution (installed to /etc/weewx on a deb install so that you can simply symlink the "debian way"). m -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
