I would like to know the best practice for upgrading (using the precompiled binaries) as well. https://github.com/RIPE-NCC/ripe-atlas-probe-doc/blob/master/manuals/Debian1... The Installation Instructions don't provide any details regarding upgrades.
I can't really speak for Debian, but it seems like some mistake slipped into the package. According to the RPM package, the following should happen automatically for the migration to the FHS-compatible package: --- 8< --- if ( [ -f /var/atlas-probe/etc/probe_key ] && ! cmp -s /var/atlas-probe/etc/probe_key /etc/ripe-atlas/probe_key 1>/dev/null 2>&1 ); then install -D -p -m 0600 -o ripe-atlas -g ripe-atlas /var/atlas-probe/etc/probe_key /etc/ripe-atlas/probe_key 1>/dev/null 2>&1; fi if ( [ -f /var/atlas-probe/etc/probe_key.pub ] && ! cmp -s /var/atlas-probe/etc/probe_key.pub /etc/ripe-atlas/probe_key.pub 1>/dev/null 2>&1 ); then install -D -p -m 0644 -o ripe-atlas -g ripe-atlas /var/atlas-probe/etc/probe_key.pub /etc/ripe-atlas/probe_key.pub 1>/dev/null 2>&1; fi if ( [ -f /var/atlas-probe/state/mode ] && ! cmp -s /var/atlas-probe/state/mode /etc/ripe-atlas/mode 1>/dev/null 2>&1 ); then install -D -p -m 0644 -o ripe-atlas -g ripe-atlas /var/atlas-probe/state/mode /etc/ripe-atlas/mode 1>/dev/null 2>&1; fi if ( [ -f /var/atlas-probe/state/config.txt ] && ! cmp -s /var/atlas-probe/state/config.txt /etc/ripe-atlas/config.txt 1>/dev/null 2>&1 ); then install -D -p -m 0644 -o ripe-atlas -g ripe-atlas /var/atlas-probe/state/config.txt /etc/ripe-atlas/config.txt 1>/dev/null 2>&1; fi if ( [ -f /etc/ripe-atlas/probe_key ] && [ -f /etc/ripe-atlas/probe_key.pub ] && [ -f /etc/ripe-atlas/mode ] && [ -d /var/atlas-probe ] ); then # NOTE: /etc/ripe-atlas/config.txt may not exist # if /var/atlas-probe/state/config.txt did not either rm -rf /var/atlas-probe fi --- 8< --- I hope that I didn't make any mistakes when resolving the macros from the spec file manually for this e-mail. In general, it's copying the old files to the new FHS-conforming place and then removing the old /var/atlas-probe tree. Regards, Robert
