Upgrading PirateBox Package

Like described on installation, connect your router to the Internet (this can be device specific).

Before you update:

1. Check if you made changes in /opt/piratebox ( maybe piratebox.conf )
2. Write it down, you may need to rechange stuff
3. If you used pyForum and want to keep your content, copy over to you usb stick

  cp -r /opt/piratebox/forumspace /mnt/usb/

Then:

1. Log into your router
2. If you have other packages (like forban) installed, Do first:

  /etc/init.d/forban stop

1. First Stop the running piratebox:

  /etc/init.d/piratebox stop

1. If you get an umount error, check if droopy is still running and kill it hardly (sometime it hangs because of active sessions)

  ps 
  kill -9 <pid of droopy>

1. Then rerun (errors that there is no /opt/piratebox/init.d/piratebox_router file are ok)

  /etc/init.d/piratebox stop

1. If ok

  opkg remove piratebox

1. If your last update is a long time ago do (Sometimes, python is getting upgraded in trunk-Openwrt, so to OpenWRT.img file is getting too small):

  mkdir /mnt/usb
  mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb
  rm /mnt/usb/PirateBox/OpenWRT.img
  umount /mnt/usb

1. Now Install the new package

  cd /tmp
  wget http://piratebox.aod-rpg.de/piratebox_0.5.1_all.ipk
  opkg update && opkg install piratebox*

1. If you had installed imageboard, rerun:

  /opt/piratebox/bin/install_piratebox.sh /opt/piratebox/conf/piratebox.conf imageboard 

1. If you had saved pyForum, run

  /opt/piratebox/bin/install_piratebox.sh /opt/piratebox/conf/piratebox.conf pyForum

1. And copy over your Backup again

  cp -r  /mnt/usb/forumspace /opt/piratebox

1. If you have other PirateBox-Packages installed, like forban, you have to run the update-command too

   /etc/init.d/forban update
