Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Chris Hyzer <>]

Just curious, why do you need it to upgrade your main UI directory?  After 
you build, the webapp is in "dist/grouper", and the upgrader should point to 
that dir.  Then you can zip it up to a war again...

The API upgrader upgrades the binary API, not the pre-built one.

Thanks,
Chris

Subject: RE: [grouper-users] v2.2.1 upgrade

I ended up performing a more "traditional" upgrade.  I downloaded the new 
versions into new directories, diff'ed and copied the config files, and 
built the new WAR file.

Why wasn't the upgrader written to perform the UI upgrade in the same 
manner as the API upgrade (upgrade files in the build directory)?  It 
doesn't provide much long-term help unless my build directory is updated 
too, not just the deployed WAR file.

Hopefully I haven't missed something obvious.  :)

Thanks,
        Andy
