To update discourse, do the following:
2
+
3
+
1. Switch to and work from the `master` branch and the directory this
4
+
file is in.
5
+
2. Run `./update.py print-diffs` and update the nginx settings and
6
+
backend settings accordingly. If you don't know how to, ask for
7
+
help - do not skip this step!
8
+
3. Run `./update.py update`.
9
+
4. Run `nix build -L -f ../../../../ discourse.tests` to make sure the
10
+
update works. Also test manually, if possible.
11
+
5. If the update works, commit it. If not, apply necessary fixes and
12
+
commit. No manual fixes that would be overwritten by the
13
+
`./update.py` script should be committed - the script should be
14
+
fixed instead.
15
+
6. Run `./update.py update-mail-receiver`. If there's an update, do
16
+
step 4 and 5 again.
17
+
7. Run `./update.py update-plugins`.
18
+
8. Run `nix build -L -f ../../../../ discourseAllPlugins.tests` to
19
+
make sure the plugins build and discourse starts with them. Also
20
+
test manually, if possible.
21
+
9. If the update works, commit it. If not, apply necessary fixes and
22
+
commit. No manual fixes that would be overwritten by the
23
+
`./update.py` script should be committed - the script should be
24
+
fixed instead.
