Thanks, HS. I have a number of customized templates (and even perl files) for 3.0alpha, so I guess I should:<br>1) backup the existing /usr/share/koha<br>2) backup the existing "koha" MySQL database.<br>3) install the snapshot into /usr/share/koha, letting it overwrite what it wants<br>4) copy my modified templates/files back in /usr/share koha (merging where necessary with newer Koha code).<br><br>If I need to revert, I suppose I can reinstall the backed-up /usr/share/koha directory and MySQL data.<br><br><br>> To: koha@lists.katipo.co.nz<br>> From: hs.samix@gmail.com<br>> Date: Wed, 19 Mar 2008 12:01:38 -0400<br>> Subject: Re: [Koha] Getting a newer version of Koha<br>> <br>> George Adams wrote:<br>> > (Koha 3.0alpha, (Gentoo) Linux 2.6.24, MySQL 5.0.56)<br>> > <br>> > I've seen some terms thrown around like "latest snapshot", "git" and such<br>> > that seems to indicate it's possible to get a newer version of Koha<br>> > than 3.0alpha.<br>> > <br>> > I found my way to<br>> > http://git.koha.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=Koha;a=summary , but I'm not<br>> > sure what to do there.

Once done, you need to log in to the Koha intranet. It will update<br>> the necessary databases.
