## Update
|

|

To upgrade cdist in the current branch use
|

|

git pull
|
||||
|

# Also update the manpages

./build man

### Upgrading from 1.7 to 2.0
|
||||
|
||||
* Ensure python (>= 3.2) is installed on the server
|
||||
* Use "cdist config host" instead of "cdist-deploy-to host"
|
||||
* Use "cdist config -p host1 host2" instead of "cdist-mass-deploy"
|
||||
* Use "cdist banner" for fun
|
||||
* Use **\_\_object_fq** instead of **\_\_self** in manifests
|
||||
|
||||
### Upgrading from 1.6 to 1.7
|
||||
|
||||
* If you used the global explorer **hardware_type**, you need to change
|
||||
your code to use **machine** instead.
|
||||
|
||||
### Upgrading from 1.5 to 1.6
|
||||
|
||||
* If you used **\_\_package_apt --preseed**, you need to use the new
|
||||
type **\_\_debconf_set_selections** instead.
|
||||
* The **\_\_package** types accepted either --state deinstalled or
|
||||
--state uninstaaled. Starting with 1.6, it was made consistently
|
||||
to --state removed.
|
||||
|
||||
### Upgrading from 1.3 to 1.5
|
||||
|
||||
No incompatiblities.
|
||||
|
||||
### Upgrading from 1.2 to 1.3
|
||||
|
||||
Rename **gencode** of every type to **gencode-remote**.

||||

|

|
||||
In 1.1 the type **\_\_file** was split into **\_\_directory**, **\_\_file** and
|
||||
**\_\_link**. The parameter **--type** was removed from **\_\_file**. Thus you
|
||||
need to replace **\_\_file** calls in your manifests:
|
||||
|
||||
* Remove --type from all \_\_file calls
|
||||
* If type was symlink, use \_\_link and --type symbolic
|

* If type was directory, use \_\_directory
