7.4.1 is not auto-updating to the new nightly builds
Last modified: 2009-10-05 10:18:35 UTC
I've been running the 7.4.1 nightly builds and it seems like none of them auto-update. When I was running 7.4.0 it would download every night and update server.version enabling the "install update" option, now in 7.4.1 this doesn't happen. The update feature itself seems to work, it's just the auto-download and server.version creation that fails. I did some hacking and if I manually create server.version with the correct string in it and download the latest nightly from: http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/?ver=7.4 and place it in the same directory I will get the "install update" option. I can also of course just manually download the updates and run the full installer.
Nightlies of minor releases don't update automatically. Only the dev. tree (currently 7.5) will do daily updates. 7.4.x will update whenever a new release is available.
