Do I get the latest update with apt-get? Helping eyes needed!

Setup, Configuration and Use Runtime
1

Hi guys,

I have installed OH2 with openhabian, so I assume I automatically got the latest snapshot release.

Today I ran my usually sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade procedure, which ran without errors and this conclusion:

Unpacking openhab2-offline (2.0.0~20161012185825) over (2.0.0~20161009032837) ...
Processing triggers for systemd (215-17+deb8u5) ...
Setting up openhab2-offline (2.0.0~20161012185825) ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/openhab2/html/index.html ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/openhab2/html/readme.txt ...

So I thought I got the newest release dated 2016-10-12. Furthermore the openhabian MOTD stated build #530. So far, so good (as far as #530 IS the latest build, I didn’t checked this…)

But interestingly a console “bundle:list” showed nearly all bundles with a slightly older date:

…and so on…

Also the zwave binding was some days old. For cross checking I did a bundle:update 196 (which is the zwave binding) and surprise, surprise, I got a newer version after the update (remember: I did an apt-get upgrade just seconds before).

That leaved me with the question: Don’t I get all the latest updates with apt-get update && upgrade? Until now I thought I would…

Any help is appreciated!

Regards,
Stefan

It might be linked to the fact that the builds have been broken for the past few days (since the 9th I think) and this was only fixed this morning. If the apt build is only triggered nightly, then that might explain the problem.

Thanks chris. This seems to be logical. I will try an apt-get tomorrow to verify.

Hope this isn’t the wrong conversion for my question and i don’t want to disturb :slight_smile:

I wanted to switch from beta to snapshot and apt installed 2.0.0~20161012185825 with a sudo apt-get --reinstall install openhab2-online after changing the apt sources.list for openhab.

But bundle:list still shows me 2.0.0.b4 for almost all of the installed "things"
What do i have to do further for getting snapshot-features and bundle-items?

But the apt-get update/upgrade itself was successfull? What does apt-get show openhab2-online | grep Version say?

As the online distro doesn’t cover all bindings/parts, maybe you should try and apt-get the offline version?

Furthermore, have you seen this thread regarding additional commands like apt-get clean etc.?

FYI: I ran an update/upgrade today and the bindings got updated. So chris’ assumptions were right.

And I learned that the apt-get snapshots are not necessarily the latest nightly builds…
