Upgrading from 3.4.x to 3.5

Warning
titleWork-in-progress

3.4.x to 3.5 Upgrade Instructions are a work-in-progress.

...

  1. Shut down your old 3.4.x repository
  2. Install the newer version of Fedora in a different location, but before starting it:
    1. Copy your old server/config/ directory into the new installation's server/config/ directory.
    2. If you are using the legacy llstore implementation instead of Akubra, modify the fedora.fcfg file, ensuring that the object_store_base and datastream_store_base values point to the absolute path of these existing directories. If you'd rather keep the paths relative in the config file, move or copy the content to the matching location in the new installation instead.
    3. If you have previously made changes to the repository-wide XACML policies, copy them into the new repository installation's data/fedora-xacml-policies directory (you will need to create this directory)
  3. Start the new instance of Fedora for the first time.

Upgrading from 3.4.x to 3.5

Warning
titleAkubra low-level storage

As of Fedora 3.4, Akubra is the default low-level storage implementation. Akubra is not backwards-compatible with the datastream and object storage from previous releases, so when upgrading ensure you use the same low-level storage implementation as your existing installation. Your existing install.properties file will specify llstore.type as either legacy-fs or akubra, the same option should be used for your new installation. A migration utility to migrate from legacy low-level storage to Akubra will be provided in a future release.
