2.2 to 2.2.2 Upgrade Patch???

Hi ....

Will there be a 2.2 to 2.2.2 Upgrade patch made available???

One of my sites I upgraded from 2.0.13 to 2.2 a couple weeks ago. I foolishly did so before remembering to do a full site backup (yeah ... I know ... I am an idiot).

Anyway, with a few glitches it went OK. Then 2.2.1 came out. I have a couple brain dysfunctions ... and for some reason I just cannot get my head wrapped around how I am supposed to accomplish the upgrade.

Now ... 2.2.2 upgrade comes out ... but only if I have 2.2.1 already installed.

Thanks for any suggestions or assistance or input.

Peter

PS ... or can the patch labelled as 2.2.1 to 2.2.2 Upgrade be used to successfully upgrade a 2.2 installation. I think I just may have seen something that insinuates it can be.

pmhoran - do you have any hacks applied? If not, the safest road would be to upload the entire 2.2.2 package (html directory only and without mainfile.php, naturally)

We are looking into a 2.2 -> 2.2.2 direct upgrade patch, but have run into some unforeseen problems.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi Mithrandir ... thanks for the response.

Unfortunately yes ... I do have some hacks installed that required the modification of a few files. Which is why I guess I am finding the upgrade to 2.2.1 more than slightly confusing

So ... is the 2.2 --> 2.2.2 upgrade patch something that will definitely be coming???

If so ... then I can wait Thankfully the site I upgraded to 2.2 is sort of a private site only accessible by 8 people. So I am not too worried right now about security breaches ... not if a direct patch is going to be coming.

But if the "unforeseen problems" are going to negate the possibility of a direct patch ... then I guess I will have to find some help some where to help me figure the upgrade to 2.2.1 out

Mith Im currently on 2.2.1 so you dont suggest me to use the patch but rather get the full 2.2.2 and upload it without the /install and mainfile.php? have you tried and worked?

Re: 2.2 to 2.2.2 Upgrade Patch???

My suggestion to use the full package only applies to 2.2 -> 2.2.2

We have made the 2.2.1->2.2.2 patch for exactly the purpose of upgrading from 2.2.1 to 2.2.2, but it does not contain all the files that were changed from 2.2 to 2.2.2

A 2.2 to 2.2.2 patch WILL come - but I cannot say if it will take 2 days or a week.

Cplus ... don't worry about being confused. Your responses to my post have been confusing me since the get go hahahahaha.

From what you said in your first response ... you are already upgraded to 2.2.1. Correct???

Then all you have to do is apply the "2.2.1 to 2.2.2 Upgrade Patch" and you are all set. You do not have to wait for anything

I think you just confused yourself by assuming my post had anything to do with your reponse ... it didn't. To insure I did not become any more confused than I already was ... I basically just ignored your responses. And Mithrandir's responses mainly addressed what my post was about.

Mith did say to you "We have made the 2.2.1->2.2.2 patch for exactly the purpose of upgrading from 2.2.1 to 2.2.2, ..."

IF you are already at 2.2.1 .... they've already posted the upgrade patch to 2.2.2 ... they are not working on any other upgrade currently that would apply to you or your XOOPS installation.

Good Luck
Peter
