UPDATING BETWEEN VERSIONS/REVISIONS ----------------------------------- There seems to be much confusion about updating. The general idea is as follows: Keep zsconfig.h and dZSbot.conf These are your config files. There is no need to redo the config files each time you update your zipscript/bot. I'll say again: THERE IS NO NEED TO REDO THE CONFIG FILES EACH TIME YOU UPGRADE. Okay, now that that is clear, here's the general process: 1. download/unpack the latest version/revision. 2. copy your old zsconfig.h into zipscript/conf/ 3. make distclean; ./configure && make && make install 3a. chmod +s /glftpd/bin/ng-chown (optional, only if you use it) 4. cp sitebot/dZSb* /path/to/sitebot/scripts/pzs-ng/ 5. .rehash or .restart your bot. Refer to sitebot/UPDATING when updating the sitebot. That's it! You've upgraded. Any new additions/changes to either the sitebot or the zipscript is used with default values - your bot/zipscript will not break. In case you're wondering about step 4 above - no, it will not overwrite your config - there is no dZSbot.conf in the archive. The above cp command is quite safe to use. Themes - these will be updated from time to time. Themes in general should continue to work as they always have. ANY CHANGES THAT DEVIATE FROM THE ABOVE IS LISTED BELOW. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- zsconfig.h: The option 'del_progressmeter' has changed. Make sure you have two percentage signs '%%' in it. See README.ZSCONFIG for more info. Optionally, just remove the option from your config, and the default will be used. Changed in: r827 The options 'cleanup_yesterday' and 'cleanup_today' is gone and is replaced by 'days_back_cleanup'. The option 'cleanupdirs' is split in two, 'cleanupdirs' and 'cleanupdirs_dated'. Changed in: r1273 Default mode of sfv_cleanup_lowercase changed from FALSE to TRUE, and in effect will not differentiate on case. Changed in: r1348 racedata changed. You *HAVE* *TO* rm -fR ftp-data/pzs-ng/*. Changed in: 1277, 1458, 1474, 1508, 1521, 1535, 2246 dZSbot.conf A dZSbot.conf.defaults first appeared in r1120 - if your bot is older than this, it is recommended to update all, including dZSbot.conf
