The above is for updating core distribution of Linux, and various linux-specific packages.

To update EQEMU within Linux, that's a different story. There was a weight change fix that went in around Feburary if I recall, it's on the front page by Akkadius and if you do not follow those steps, it will cause a character wipe-like symptoms.

It is heavily recommended to have a test environment that replicates your linux box to run this to ensure a smooth transition.

Obviously, before updating eqemu, do a backup of everything. Your binaries, your source (or at least bookmark the previous version of the source), and the database.

Once everything is backed up, you update your source, and recompile. Once you have binaries, when you run the world binary, it will prompt with the database upgrades.

That's the essence of updating.

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.
