Upgrade Review Board

Use these instructions to upgrade Review Board to a latest build.

Log on to the server as root user always

Do this on the main TeamForge application server. We'll call this my.app.box.

  1. Create a /var/ops/ folder, download the RBInstaller-1.6.0.0.11.zip file from http://collab.net/downloads/integrations#tab-1 and save it in the /var/ops/ folder.
  2. Uninstall the existing Review Board application if you are upgrading on the same server.
    • cd /var/ops/RBInstaller-1.5.0.0.5
    • python ./install.py -u
  3. Back up your Review Board data directory if you are upgrading TeamForge and Review Board on a new server. The Review Board database is backed up already when you have upgraded TeamForge. So, it is not necessary to take a back up of the Review Board database again.
    1. Back up the Review Board data directory.
      • cd /opt/collabnet
      • tar -zcvf /tmp/reviewboard_data.tgz reviewboard
    2. Copy the /tmp/reviewboard_data.tgz file to the /tmp directory of the new server.
  4. Unzip the RBInstaller-1.6.0.0.11.zip file.
    • cd /var/ops/
    • unzip RBInstaller-1.6.0.0.11.zip
  5. Modify these values in the install.conf file to suit your installation environment.
    • vi /var/ops/RBInstaller-1.6.0.0.11/installer/install.conf

  10. Do this only if you have TeamForge Orchestrate Review Board adapter installed.
    1. Upgrade pip if you do not have the minimum required version.
      • pip install --upgrade pip
    2. Upgrade setuptools if you do not have the minimum required version.
