Hi guys,

I'm trying to do my first update on my local galaxy install (it's been a few months at least since I installed)

I'm trying to follow the instructions here to update the code: http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Get%20Galaxy#Keep_your_code_up_to_date

My first question is how do I roll back if something goes wrong in the upgrade?

Hi Greg, Collect your current changeset with: % hg parents changeset: 8563:a4113cc1cb5e tag: release_2013.01.13 parent: 8529:ce62bf5a91f8 user: Daniel Blankenberg <dan@bx.psu.edu> date: Thu Jan 10 14:57:37 2013 -0500 summary: Fixes for Tool.check_and_update_param_values_helper() to check that the type of value provided is valid for the input parameter currently declared. Fixes an issue where rurun would select the wrong input dataset. Update: % hg pull % hg update release_2013.02.08 Migrate: % sh manage_db.sh upgrade Pay attention to whatever the first revision you are migrating from is. Probably 109 if you were at the 1/13 release. If you need to downgrade: % sh manage_db.sh downgrade <old_db_version> % rm lib/galaxy/model/migrate/versions/*.pyc % hg update <old_changeset>

My second question is that this page http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/DevNewsBriefs/2013_02_08 says that I need to do something to get onto the stable branch? Right now when I run hg branch it says default. I'd prefer to be on stable. Any idea what I should do? (and again how can I roll back to the code i have now if something goes wrong?)

The stable branch is new, so your old clone won't have it until you pull new changesets. As long as you do `hg pull` rather than `hg pull -u` and then explicitly update to the release tag or stable branch (`hg update release_2013.02.08` or `hg update stable`), you'll be on the stable branch. --nate

Thanks,

Greg
