Dude, if all you're worried about is the necessity of re-tuning/calibration,<br>just save the stuff in /etc/asterisk (particularly the xxx_tune_yyy.conf files)<br>and the usbradio/simpleusb.conf file from the old install. Then you will<br>have all the site-specific hardware-related configurations that can be copied<br>onto the new install.<br><br>You can always load ACID onto new drives at home, "stage" it on a system<br>there at home to verify its functionality, then take the drive up to the remote<br>location and install it.<br><br>JIM<br><br><br>> Date: Sun, 12 Jun 2011 14:01:15 -0400<br>> Subject: RE: [App_rpt-users] in place upgrade of ACID installs 1- 1.5 years old?<br>> From: steve@michiganbroadband.com<br>> To: telesistant@hotmail.com<br>> CC: steve@michiganbroadband.com; app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org<br>> <br>> Thanks!!<br>> I'll give this a shot!<br>> <br>> If it works great! otherwise I *was* planning on starting over from scratch<br>> with the latest ACID iso. & having to re-do everything...<br>> which in itself would get me familiar with all the new stuff..<br>> So I'll be doing that anyway on the home system. :-)<br>> <br>> Just would be nice to be able to upgrade the in-service field systems :-)<br>> without all the work & dragging the service monitor out there etc.<br>> <br>> <br>> -Steve<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> ><br>> > you might just do the equivilant of an install from latest SVN. see:<br>> ><br>> > https://allstarlink.org/support.html#astupgrade<br>> ><br>> > In other words, download the tarball onto some sort of portable media,<br>> > then follow the rest of the steps referenced above using the downloaded<br>> > media on the portable drive.<br>> ><br>> > you will also need to make sure the curl development package is installed<br>> > (I dont think it was being done that long ago).<br>> ><br>> ><br>> > JIM WB6NIL<br>> ><br>> ><br>> >> Date: Sat, 11 Jun 2011 15:35:55 -0400<br>> >> From: steve@michiganbroadband.com<br>> >> To: app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org<br>> >> Subject: [App_rpt-users] in place upgrade of ACID installs 1- 1.5 years<br>> >> old?<br>> >><br>> >> Hi,<br>> >> I have a couple of boxes that are out at tower sites WITHOUT any<br>> >> type of Internet access..
