This document presents the upgrade of Chimère.
.. Warning::
Before any upgrade backup the database and all your installation files
(specially if you have made changes to them).
The process for migration requires a basic knowledge of Git and Linux CLI. It is
*not* an easy process. A work is currently done to easy the upgrade in later
versions (>2.0) of Chimère.
If several versions have been published, you should repeat all upgrading steps.
For instance to upgrade from v1.1 to v2.0 you should first upgrade to v1.2 then
to v2.0. The only optional step is the integration of your customisations.
The current stable version is 2.0.
.. Note::
If you are considering to contribute on Chimère get the Git master.
The instructions are given for Debian Squeeze and Debian Wheezy.
Getting new versions of dependencies
------------------------------------
If you want to install the Chimère package for Debian Wheezy dependencies are
managed by the package.
You can go to the next section of the documentation.
Version 1.1 -> 1.2
******************
.. code-block:: bash
apt-get install python-lxml libjs-jquery gpsbabel python-gdal
Version 1.2 -> 2.0
******************
Debian Squeeze
++++++++++++++
Activate the backports: http://backports-master.debian.org/Instructions/
Then install the new dependencies::
apt-get install -t squeeze-backports python-django python-django-south \
python-simplejson libjs-jquery-ui python-pyexiv2 \
python-feedparser javascript-common libjs-jquery
Debian Wheezy
+++++++++++++
.. code-block:: bash
apt-get install python-django-south python-simplejson libjs-jquery-ui \
python-pyexiv2 python-feedparser javascript-common
If you are planning to do major import consider the install of `Celery
`_.
.. code-block:: bash
apt-get install python-django-celery python-kombu
Getting the new sources
-----------------------
To simplify further instructions, some environment variables are
initialized.
.. code-block:: bash
CHIMERE_PATH=/srv/chimere
CHIMERE_BRANCH=v1.2 # version 1.1 -> 1.2
CHIMERE_BRANCH=v2.0 # version 1.2 -> 2.0
CHIMERE_BRANCH=master # version 2.0 -> master
CHIMERE_LOCALNAME=mychimere
Your local name is used for the name of your local Git branch and the Python
package. As a Python package it should follow the rule of Python variable name:
it must be at least one letter and can have a string of numbers, letters and
underscores ("_") to any length. Don't begin the name by "_" because it has special
significance in Python.
From Debian package
*******************
If you want to install the last stable version of Chimère
and your system is under Debian Wheezy it is wise to use
Chimère Debian packages.
If you have a previous installation from sources remove
all chimère libraries but **keep** your project dir.
.. code-block:: bash
rm -rf $CHIMERE_PATH/chimere
Then you can install Chimère.
.. code-block:: bash
# add Chimère repository
echo "deb http://debian.peacefrogs.net wheezy main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update
# install
apt-get install python-django-chimere
Installation from sources
*************************
First of all you have to get the new version of the source code.
For the upgrade process, the source code has to be from the Git
repository.
From a previous Git installation
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
.. code-block:: bash
cd $CHIMERE_PATH
git stash # if you have uncommited changes
git checkout origin/$CHIMERE_BRANCH -b $CHIMERE_LOCALNAME
From a previous tarball installation
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
First remove your old installation and get the Git version:
.. code-block:: bash
cd $CHIMERE_PATH
cd ..
rm -rf $CHIMERE_PATH
git clone git://www.peacefrogs.net/git/chimere
cd chimere
git checkout origin/$CHIMERE_BRANCH -b $CHIMERE_LOCALNAME
Update basic settings
*********************
Version 1.1 -> 1.2
++++++++++++++++++
.. code-block:: bash
CHIMERE_APP_PATH=$CHIMERE_PATH/chimere
vim $CHIMERE_APP_PATH/settings.py
Add the following lines (adapted for your jquery and gpsbabel installation):
.. code-block:: python
JQUERY_URL = SERVER_URL + 'jquery/jquery-1.4.4.min.js'
GPSBABEL = '/usr/bin/gpsbabel'
# simplify with an error of 5 meters
GPSBABEL_OPTIONS = 'simplify,crosstrack,error=0.005k'
Version 1.2 -> 2.0
++++++++++++++++++
Project template
................
A default project can be found on `Gitorious
`_. Get
it and start a new project with it (or get another project based on Chimère):
.. code-block:: bash
cd $CHIMERE_PATH
git clone git://gitorious.org/chimere-example-project/chimere-example-project.git
django-admin startproject --template=chimere-example-project mychimere_project
rm -rf chimere-example-project
local_settings
..............
A *local_settings* file is now used.
.. code-block:: bash
cd $CHIMERE_APP_PATH
cp local_settings.py.sample local_settings.py
vim local_settings.py
Report your old settings from *settings.py* to *local_settings.py* (at least the
database configuration).
The setting *ROOT_URLCONF* must be set to **value_of_your_localname.urls**.
logs
....
Logging is now enabled by default in the file */var/log/django/chimere.log*.
.. code-block:: bash
mkdir /var/log/django
touch /var/log/django/chimere.log
chown www-data -R /var/log/django
Static files
............
Now static files are managed with *django.contrib.staticfiles*.
.. code-block:: bash
cd $CHIMERE_APP_PATH
./manage.py collectstatic
Move old static files to the new static directory:
.. code-block:: bash
cp -ra $CHIMERE_PATH/chimere/static/* $CHIMERE_APP_PATH/static/
cp -ra $CHIMERE_PATH/chimere/static/icons/* $CHIMERE_APP_PATH/media/icons/
cp -ra $CHIMERE_PATH/chimere/static/upload $CHIMERE_APP_PATH/media/
rm -rf $CHIMERE_PATH/chimere/static/icons
rm -rf $CHIMERE_PATH/chimere/static/upload
Update permissions for media directory:
.. code-block:: bash
chown www-data -R $CHIMERE_APP_PATH/media/
Webserver configuration
.......................
If you are using Apache and WSGI to serve your Chimère, change your WSGI
configuration file to point to the correct settings:
**value_of_your_localname.settings**.
Change your webserver directive to point to the correct static directory from
**your_chimere_path/chimere/static** to
**your_chimere_path/your_local_name/static**.
Version 2.0 -> master
+++++++++++++++++++++
Update settings and static files.
.. code-block:: bash
cp $CHIMERE_PATH/example_project/settings.py $CHIMERE_LOCALNAME
./manage.py collectstatic
Migrate database
----------------
Version 1.1 -> 1.2
******************
Migration scripts test your installation before making changes so you probably
won't have any lost but by precaution before running these scripts don't forget
to backup your database.
You can also make a copy of your current database into a new database and make
the new installation to this new database.
The gdal binding for Python is necessary to run the upgrade scripts (available
in the python-gdal package in Debian).
If you run the migration scripts in a production environnement stop the old
instance of Chimère before executing the migration script.
In *settings.py* verify that **chimere.scripts** is in the *INSTALLED_APPS*.
After that in the Chimère directory just execute the script.
.. code-block:: bash
cd $CHIMERE_APP_PATH
python ./scripts/upgrade.py
Version 1.2 -> 2.0
******************
Django South is now used to manage database migrations.
.. code-block:: bash
cd $CHIMERE_APP_PATH
./manage.py syncdb --noinput
./manage.py migrate chimere 0001 --fake # fake the database initialisation
./manage.py migrate chimere
A description field is now available for markers. If you would like to move
values of an old *Property model* to this new field, a script is available.
.. code-block:: bash
cd $CHIMERE_APP_PATH
../chimere/scripts/migrate_properties.py
# follow the instructions
Version 2.0 -> master
*********************
.. code-block:: bash
cd $CHIMERE_APP_PATH
./manage.py syncdb
# les migrations ont été réinitialisées
./manage.py migrate chimere --delete-ghost-migrations --fake 0001
./manage.py migrate chimere
Update translations
-------------------
Version 1.1 -> 1.2
******************
.. code-block:: bash
cd $CHIMERE_APP_PATH
./manage.py compilemessages
Version 1.2 -> 2.0 -> master
****************************
.. code-block:: bash
cd $CHIMERE_PATH/chimere
django-admin compilemessages
Forcing the refresh of visitor's web browser cache
--------------------------------------------------
Major changes in the javascript has been done between versions, many of your
users could experience problems. There are many tricks to force the refresh
of their cache. One of them is to change the location of statics files. To do
that edit your local_settings.py and change::
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
to::
STATIC_URL = '/static-v2.0.0/'
Then change the webserver directive to point to your new path.
Restart the web server to apply this changes.
Configuring the Sites framework
-------------------------------
Version 1.2 -> 2.0
******************
*Sites* framework allow you to serve the same content on different domains.
Most of you will probably use only one domain but this unique domain has to
be configured. This is done in the web administration interface in *Sites > Sites*.
You only need to change *example.com* by your domain name. If you forget to
do that, some functionalities such as RSS feeds will not work properly.
