HOW-TO step-by-step instructions for updating software


 1. Terminate run_control
 
 2. Download fastdev_bin_02.10.03.tgz into ~fastdev/bin directory
 
 3. Run "tar -xvzf fastdev_bin_02.10.03.tgz" in ~fastdev/bin directory

 4. Log in as root, run 
    "chown root ddu_b_daemon; chmod 4755 ddu_b_daemon" in ~fastdev/bin
    directory

 5. Log in as fastdev.

 6. Create ~fastdev/data.new directory
 
 7. Download fastdev_data_02.10.03.tgz into ~fastdev/data.new directory
 
 8. Run "tar -xvzf fastdev_data_02.10.03.tgz" in ~fastdev/data.new
    directory

 9. Run "diff -r data data.new" in ~fastdev directory to find out if some
    parameters in your config files are different from the new 
    revision. Typically all differences should be in
    ~fastdev/data/daqmb_config/daqmb_config_0023 file, since this file
    contains all site-specific information.
 
 10. Manually change the parameters found in previous step in the
     configuration files in ~fastdev/data.new directory. Do it only if you
     know exactly why each particular parameter was changed on your
     setup. Some parameters may be changed by developers - please do not
     touch them.
 
 11. Run "rm -r data" in ~fastdev directory.
 
 12. Run "mv data.new data" in ~fastdev directory.
 
 13. Start run_control and try to take data.
