changes are apparently minor to a end user (but not for the site administrator). It'd very hard and very long to provide a full list of changes. The main changes in RT 3.4 are a complete rework of how Custom Fields are handled, which means there is a lot more flexibility in that area now (including Custom Fields for users, per-queue, per-transaction). RT 3.4 is also supposed to be faster, which certainly is no bad news. Another bonus of RT 3.4 are the availability of extensions, and I will commit RTx::Shredder and RTx::RightsMatrix very soon. Updating RT is not an easy task, be sure to backup your database, and don't forget to grant the new rights to relevant people. In pkgsrc, rt3 is also seeing a few changes. The main one is the situation of the "local" path, which is now set to /var/rt3, which seems less lame to me than the previous value. It could be debated, though.

You must configure RT by editing ${PKG_SYSCONFDIR}/RT_SiteConfig.pm.
|
|
|
|
To initialize the RT database, run
|
|
|
|
${PREFIX}/sbin/rt-setup-database --action init \
|
|
--dba dbadmin --prompt-for-dba-password
|
|
|
|
as a user in the ${RT_GROUP} group or as superuser. In the previous
|
|
command-line, 'dbadmin' stands for the database administrator's username,
|
|
e.g. 'root' for MySQL.
|
|
|
|
To upgrade the RT database from an older version, look in
|
|
${PREFIX}/share/rt3/etc/upgrade, and for each version newer than the one
|
|
previously used, do the following:
|
|
|
|
${PREFIX}/sbin/rt-setup-database --action schema \
|
|
--dba dbadmin --prompt-for-dba-password \
|
|
--datadir ${RTSHAREDIR}/etc/upgrade/<version>
|
|
${PREFIX}/sbin/rt-setup-database --action acl \
|
|
--dba dbadmin --prompt-for-dba-password \
|
|
--datadir ${RTSHAREDIR}/etc/upgrade/<version>
|
|
${PREFIX}/sbin/rt-setup-database --action insert \
|
|
--dba dbadmin --prompt-for-dba-password \
|
|
--datadir ${RTSHAREDIR}/etc/upgrade/<version>
|
|
|
|
You might also want to clear the Mason cache:
|
|
|
|
rm -Rf ${RTVARDIR}/mason_data/obj
|
|
|
