Note: This version of the VDT (1.8.0) is no longer supported. Feel free to look through the documentation and install it, but we cannot guarantee support for it. The current stable release is 2.0.0.
On 2007-08-24, the VDT team announced the release of VDT 1.8.0f.
Updated VOMRS to version 1.3.1b to fix a security problem.
If you installed VDT 1.8.0 after VDT 1.8.0f was released on 2007-08-24, you do not need to do any of these update operations because you will have 1.8.0f.
The best way to do the update is to update the individual packages that have changed. To be clear, we
do not recommend using pacman -update without specifying specific package names. Also
note that you only need to update packages if you installed them. You can see what packages have been installed with:
pacman -l -d 1
Before you do the update directions that follow, please run to following commands. They apply for all of the updates.
cp -pr $VDT_LOCATION BACKUP-LOCATION cd $VDT_LOCATION . setup.sh vdt-control --off
The copy command makes a complete backup of your VDT installation, in case something goes wrong. Do not skip this step!
The VOMRS web applications are not automatically updated by pacman, so there are a few extra steps to make sure that they are updated.
rm -fr tomcat/v55/webapps/vomrs pacman -update VOMRS
Then, for each VOMRS configured VO, run:
vdt/setup/configure_vomrs --vo VO-NAME
This update process should not affect any VOMRS data, but be sure to make a good backup first.
At this point, it should be safe to start VDT services again:
vdt-control --on
