Zentyal package updates

You can either upgrade the components of your Zentyal system by using the ebox-software package or your favourite package management tool (apt-get or aptitude).

In any of the cases you have to make sure that your /etc/apt/sources.list file contains the Zentyal repository. If you have used our official installer you probably won't need to do anything.

Repositories

Current stable repository (2.0)

    deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/zentyal/2.0/ubuntu hardy main 

Previous stable repository (1.4)

    deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ebox/1.4/ubuntu hardy main 

Proposed updates for 1.4

If you want to have the latest features that are backported from trunk to 1.4, add also this repository to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

    deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ebox/1.4-proposed/ubuntu hardy main 

These packages are moved to the official 1.4 repository after being enough tested.

How to upgrade

First of all, make sure that your package database is up to date by running the following command:

apt-get update

If you have installed the ebox-software module you just go to the Software Management menu on the Zentyal interface.

Have a look at the Software Updates section of the Zentyal documentation for more info about this.

If you want to do it manually in a console, here are the two commands you need:

With apt-get dist-upgrade you can upgrade the entire system (all Zentyal packages will be upgraded to the latest versions available and also any security update from the Ubuntu repositories).

With apt-get install you can specify the list of Zentyal modules you want to update. For example apt-get install ebox-firewall ebox-dns will upgrade the firewall and dns modules.

Another handy tool is apt-cache policy that shows the current and the latest available version of a given module. Example:

# apt-cache policy ebox-mail
ebox-mail:
