Upgrade
Easiest way to upgrade rhodecode is to run:
easy_install -U rhodecode
Or:
pip install --upgrade rhodecode
Then make sure You run from the installation directory
paster make-config RhodeCode production.ini
This will display any changes made from new version of RhodeCode To your current config. And tries to do an automerge. It's always better to do a backup of config file and recheck the content after merge.
Note
The next steps only apply to upgrading from non bugfix releases eg. from any minor or major releases. Bugfix releases (eg. 1.1.2->1.1.3) will not have any database schema changes or whoosh library updates
It's also good to rebuild the whoosh index since after upgrading the whoosh version there could be introduced incompatible index changes.
The last step is to upgrade the database. To do this simply run
paster upgrade-db production.ini
This will upgrade schema, as well as update some default on the database, always recheck the settings of the application, if there are no new options that need to be set.
Note
Always perform a database backup before doing upgrade.
