Pentabarf is the conference tool used by BSDCan and PGCON. I upgraded it recently and ran into trouble. I think that has been resolved now.
Since I last upgraded Pentabarf, it went from using svn to using git. Thus, you need a clean checkout of Pentabarf. I copied away the original source before I did this:
git clone git://github.com/nevs/pentabarf.git
Then I copied over my existing configuration files:
rails/config/*.yml files
Then I ran a number of database upgrades, after first backing up by existing database:
export PGDATABASE=pentabarf_bsdcan
export PGUSER=pentabarfpsql < sql/maintenance/upgrade_0.3.16_to_0.3.17.sql
For the next one, I had to comment out the two drop views:
–DROP VIEW view_schedule_simple;
–DROP VIEW view_schedule_calendar;
psql < sql/maintenance/upgrade_0.3.17_to_0.3.18.sql
Then a number of more upgrades:
psql < sql/maintenance/upgrade_0.3.18_0.4.0.sql psql < sql/maintenance/upgrade_0.4.0_to_0.4.1.sql psql < sql/maintenance/upgrade_0.4.1_to_0.4.2.sql
I found I had to create a new directory:
cd rails
mkdir -p tmp/pids
I had a number of upgrades to do:
psql < data/ui_message.sql psql < data/ui_message_localized.sql psql < data/auth.conference_role.sql psql < data/auth.conference_role_localized.sql psql < data/auth.conference_role_permission.sql psql < views.sql psql < functions.sql
And then restart mongrel:
sudo mongrel_rails cluster::restart
That was it. AFAIK.
