<h2>5.1. Update the git installation<a class="headerlink" href="#update-the-git-installation" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>To upgrade cdist in the current branch use</p>
<div class="highlight-sh"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>git pull

<span class="c1"># Also update the manpages</span>
./build man
<span class="nb">export</span> <span class="nv">MANPATH</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="nv">$MANPATH</span>:<span class="k">$(</span><span class="nb">pwd</span> -P<span class="k">)</span>/doc/man

<p>If you stay on a version branche (i.e. 1.0, 1.1., ...), nothing should break.
The master branch on the other hand is the development branch and may not be
working, break your setup or eat the tree in your garden.</p>
<div class="section" id="safely-upgrading-to-new-versions">
<h3>5.1.1. Safely upgrading to new versions<a class="headerlink" href="#safely-upgrading-to-new-versions" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h3>
<p>To upgrade to <strong>any</strong> further cdist version, you can take the
following procedure to do a safe upgrade:</p>
<div class="highlight-sh"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="c1"># Create new branch to try out the update</span>
git checkout -b upgrade_cdist

<span class="c1"># Get latest cdist version in git database</span>
git fetch -v

<span class="c1"># see what will happen on merge - replace</span>
<span class="c1"># master with the branch you plan to merge</span>
git diff upgrade_cdist..origin/master

<span class="c1"># Merge the new version</span>
git merge origin/master
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Now you can ensure all custom types work with the new version.
Assume that you need to go back to an older version during
the migration/update, you can do so as follows:</p>
<div class="highlight-sh"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="c1"># commit changes</span>
git commit -m ...

<span class="c1"># go back to original branch</span>
git checkout master
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>After that, you can go back and continue the upgrade:</p>
<div class="highlight-sh"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="c1"># git checkout upgrade_cdist</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>

<div class="section" id="update-the-python-package">

<h3>5.3.4. Updating from 2.1 to 2.2<a class="headerlink" href="#updating-from-2-1-to-2-2" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h3>
<p>Starting with 2.2, the syntax for requiring a singleton type changed:
Old format:</p>
<div class="highlight-sh"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">require</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s2">&quot;__singleton_type/singleton&quot;</span> ...
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>New format:</p>
<div class="highlight-sh"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">require</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s2">&quot;__singleton_type&quot;</span> ...
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Internally the &quot;singleton&quot; object id was dropped to make life more easy.
You can probably fix your configuration by running the following code
snippet (currently untested, please report back if it works for you):</p>
<div class="highlight-sh"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>find ~/.cdist/* -type f -exec sed -i <span class="s1">&#39;s,/singleton,,&#39;</span> <span class="o">{}</span> <span class="se">\;</span>

<p>In 1.1 the type <strong>__file</strong> was split into <strong>__directory</strong>, <strong>__file</strong> and
<strong>__link</strong>. The parameter <strong>--type</strong> was removed from <strong>__file</strong>. Thus you
need to replace <strong>__file</strong> calls in your manifests:</p>
<blockquote>
<div><ul class="simple">
<li>Remove --type from all __file calls</li>
<li>If type was symlink, use __link and --type symbolic</li>
<li>If type was directory, use __directory</li>
</ul>
