Upgrading Rivendell from CVS

From Rivendell Wiki

The offical guide to building Rivendell from CVS can be downloaded here (appnote0004.pdf).

Once Rivendell has been installed from CVS, here are the steps to upgrade to the newest cvs packages. Before you begin, make sure you have stopped the Rivendell service (i.e. /etc/init.d/rivendell stop). In a console, type these commands (as the same user who originally downloaded/compiled the CVS files) for each of packages you wish to upgrade (i.e. libradio, librhpi, or rivendell):

cd <rivendell-source-dir>
make maintainer-clean
cvs update -Pd
./autogen.sh
./configure
make # or 'make rpm' if you wish to create rpms

now as root:

make install
ldconfig

Now you should be able to start the updated version of Rivendell:

/etc/init.d/rivendell start

Notes about version numbers

It is easy to adjust the version number of Rivendell if you want to keep track of which version is running on your system. Simply edit the "configure.in" file in the rivendell source directory. Find and modify these two lines prior to running "./autogen.sh"
