Procedure for Updating Linux Server?

[Riklin]

Thank you for the replies. My question may not have been specific enough. I was referring to updating the EQEMU Server software, not the actual Linux server OS. The server OS I know how to do.

I somehow missed the weight change and how critical it is. Halls Havoc does indeed have a test server instance. We'll make sure and test it there first.

For the most part you just run world from the bash script and pick your options to update each component. Of course that will only get you up to date with your current binaries. As said before, for new binaries pull down the latest git, compile and repeat the process. As Shin Noir said, make sure you have a backup, a lot of things have changed.
