2. Upgrading FotoBilder

In $FBHOME/bin there's a tool named cvsreport.pl which manages (among other things) upgrading files from the main FotoBilder repository to your local $FBHOME directory.

The command you'll need to upgrade is:

$ cvsreport.pl -c -s

-c is short for --cvsonly (only copies from the cvs directory back to the live area, not vice-versa) and -s is short for --sync (which means actually do the copying, don't just print out what it would've done, which is the default without -s).

Using Tarballs:  The easiest way to upgrading your installation is to grab the latest release of the FotoBilder codebase from http://www.picpix.com/download/code/ and put it in your $FBHOME directory. Then all you have to do is run the following command in a console:

Example 4.1. Tarball Upgrade

$ cd $FBHOME
$ tar zxvf fotobilder-YYYYMMDDNN.tar.gz
$ cvsreport.pl -c -s

Using CVS:  Alternatively, if you opted to manage your installation through the use of CVS, you can run the --upgrade option in cvsreport.pl to sync your $FBHOME/cvs directory.

Example 4.2. CVS Upgrade

$ cvsreport.pl -u
$ cvsreport.pl -c -s
