(Gentoo Linux 2.6.24, MySQL 5.0.56) Hi, All. About a week or so ago, I grabbed the latest snapshot of Koha (by going to http://git.koha.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=Koha;a=summary , and clicking the small 'Snapshot" link on the row with the most recently committed change. That seemed to work pretty well - I installed the new Koha snapshot, applied some changes of my own to the codebase, and started using it. Now, looking at the changes that have been posted on GIT, I'm thinking I might like to get an even NEWER snapshot. With the customizations I've done, though, I don't really look forward to having to ownload and install a new snapshot in its entirety. Is there a way with the GIT website to tell it to package me up a new site that contains only those files that are newer than (say) 3/31/2008? If that can be done, I might be able to upgrade my Koha simply by dropping in the changed files into the appropriate directory. Thanks to anyone who can help! _________________________________________________________________ More immediate than e-mail?

I'm not sure if or how gitweb can be made to produce that sort of differential package, but if your original snapshot was recent enough, you can do an upgrade like this: [1] Download and extract the latest snapshot from gitweb. [2] Locate a file called koha-install-log - depending on which installation mode you chose, this may be in /usr/share/koha/misc. [3] Run the following commands: perl Makefile.PL --prev-install-log /path/to/koha-install-log make make test sudo make upgrade This will overlay your installation with new and updated files, making backup copies of any HTML templates (but not code) that you modified.
