ovdb_upgrade(8) InterNetNews Documentation ovdb_upgrade(8)NAMEovdb_upgrade - Perform any needed upgrades on the ovdb
database
SYNOPSYSovdb_upgradeDESCRIPTION
The ovdb_upgrade command is be used to upgrade the ovdb
database when migrating to a newer version of the Berke
leyDB library (in which there is a change in BerkeleyDB's
internal db format).
The upgrade is done in-place, and is not reversable.
Here is an example procedure to upgrade a database created
with BerkeleyDB 2.x to use BerkeleyDB 3.x:
1 Install BerkeleyDB 3.x
2 Do a `make clean' in the INN source tree
3 If BerkeleyDB 3.x is installed into a different path
than the 2.x version, run configure again, specifying
the new path. For example: `./configure --with-berke
leydb=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.x [... other options]'
4 Shut down INN (e.g., with `rc.news stop'). Be sure to
kill all nnrpds as well.
5 Do a `make update' to build INN with the new Berke
leyDB version and install the new binaries.
6 Run `ovdb_upgrade' as the news user.
7 Start INN with `rc.news'
