In previous versions of VSCP whenever you did an install all configuration files were replaced with the latest version. This is not true anymore. Now the new version is instead written as a copy with the date of the install appended to it. So if you after a “make install” or a “dpkg -i vscpd” want the latest configs you have to copy the backup to the actual config file and restart the VSCP server.
Files that is handled in this way is
/etc/vscp/vscpd.conf
/srv/vscp/dm.xml
/srv/vscp/simtempdata.txt
/srv/vscp/variables.xml
Also if you are on unstable code you should remove the databases before you start the updated server . Use
rm /srv/vscp/*.sqlite3
for this.
Also note that the web sample code is not installed in the install/update process no more. The process to get this subsystem installed with be described later.
State of #VSCP
The work with the upcoming 13.0.0 Aluminium release is moving on. As usual a few surprises has turned up adding some weeks to the work but things move forward as expected. Instead of being released before X-mas I now expect it to be out sometime late January next year.
For those of you doing home automation project I can recommend Domoticz and OpenHAB (in that order). Both projects has a huge and active user base constantly adding support for new devices. Much better choices for HA freaks than VSCP will ever be.
I also want to take the opportunity to wish all of you a merry X-mas. This year has been a quite rough time here and that will continue for some time but with the support from many of you I have managed to keep servers active and also had a chance to get some new hardware to play with as well. Thanks for your generosity. I will never forget.
There are a few days more coding for me before I turn of my computer and rest for a couple of days. A good book, some movies and a lot of food is waiting for me and honestly I need the rest. I hope all of you enjoy a few days rest also.
