NAV 3.5.0 is now available for download at Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/nav/3.5/3.5.0
This is the first stable release of the 3.5 series; the changelog is attached to this message.
Binary packages for Debian will be available as soon as possible. The Debian package is maintained by Morten Werner Forsbring, on commission
From UNINETT.
For those upgrading from 3.5.0b3, there are no database changes. If you wish to upgrade directly from NAV 3.4 to this version, the beta releases' SQL upgrade scripts have been merged into a single 3.5.0.sql script, which needs to be run. Please read the upgrade instructions carefully, as the previous four NAV databases need to be merged into a single one.
Happy NAVing everyone!

In my eager to announce this release, I forgot to actually attach the changelog and release notes :-P Trying again...
That is indeed good news!
When can we expect a debian release, Werner? :-)

No pressure on Werner at all :) I guess the extra dependency changes will add a little delay, so we need to be patient.
The notes look good, looking forward to trying it out.
Presumbly there's just a one-off schema fix coming from 3.4.3, and the files that 'should' be removed need to be handled manually.

Hi,
and sorry for the delay. A 3.5.0-package is now present in the etch archive. There are two things you should be aware of:
* For the automatically database upgrade to complete successfully you need to copy the password for the nav-user from /etc/nav/db.conf to /etc/nav/db.conf.dpkg-new when the upgrade process asks about replaceing the db.conf with a new upstream version. More information about this should be printed in a dialog-box early in the upgrade process.
* You now need backports.org-archive in your /etc/apt/sources.list for the python-django dependency:
deb http://backports.org/debian etch-backports main
Please ask if you have questions, and I'll try my best to answer them.
- Werner

I forgot one more thing. The webpages are moved from /var/www/nav/ to /usr/share/nav/htdocs/. This means that the Apache config must be changed. The easiest is to remove the /etc/apache2/conf.d/nav file or where you placed the apache config, and run 'a2ensite nav-default'.
If you want to do it even more careful, copy /etc/apache2/sites-available/nav-default to e.g. /etc/apach2/sites-available/nav-local, modify it for your needs (perhaps even with SSL?) and run 'a2ensite nav-local'. :)

This might just be me on an early thursday, but I can`t seem to find nav under the available packages for update when I run "apt-get upgrade" (after update ofcourse)
I got the following lines in my /etc/apt/sources.lst related to NAV:
# NAV deb http://pkg-nav.alioth.debian.org/debian etch local deb http://backports.org/debian etch-backports main
Am I doing something wrong this time?

I have no problems finding the nav package when using the first of those two lines in my sources.list. Are you sure you did a proper update first?
You are indeed right.
Actually my Debian installation is keeping back my package for whatever reason.. Neither "apt-get upgrade" or "apt-get dist-upgrade" wants to update the package.
Any idea why?

When doing this on a new system I had a conflict with some package (can't remember which), but it work when issuing "aptitude install nav", try using aptitude instead of apt-get as it seems to be 'smarter' in some cases.

Actually, Debian recommends using aptitude for all package management, as a replacement for apt-get.
Aptitude knows whether a package has been deliberately installed by you, or just pulled in as a dependency on another package. This means that it is also able to automatically remove unused dependencies as other packages are removed.

The public key warning is a warning, but there are hard errors after that.
Is our source list appropriate or do we need some changes?
Or is it some aptitude config elsewhere that needs changing or do we need to flush out the cache we have built up over time (the 'clean' option)? As you can probably tell, I'm not an aptitude guru.
Thanks!

Before running the normal SQL upgrade procedure (i.e. SQL scripts from doc/sql/upgrades/), you MUST merge your four existing NAV databases into a single nav database. The shell script doc/sql/mergedb.sh can help you with this. Se doc/sql/upgrades/README for more information.
Hi again :)
So we upgraded nav, and before running the sql script we tried to run the merge script, and it seems to fail because it thinks there already is a database called nav:
postgres@nwtraffic:/usr/share/doc/nav/sql$ sh mergedb.sh Creating database nav, owned by nav createdb: database creation failed: ERROR: database "nav" already exists
We are currently on v3.4.3.
The updates seemed to go OK otherwise, with the django stuff and the new db.conf, etc.
Thanks for any tips...

Why did you try to do this manually? Did the Debian package not fix this for you already?
It's easy to list the existing databases: sudo -u postgres psql -l

Hi Tim,

Hmmm. I guess the cause of my confusion (and the possible mistake) is that I read the new README notes and these talk about the upgrade script and running the merge, etc.
Hindsight of course makes thing easy, but I guess I was trying to be too diligent in reading the upgrade notes and your mail on 22nd Jan about the new v3.5 release and not realising that your debian package simply does it all. Having re-read your mail of 18th Feb I see this now ("For the automatically database upgrade to complete successfully you need to..."). I think the info from the first release notes were stuck in my mind as something important to do.
Having fixed up the apache config all now seems well. We'll give it a whirl and send any feedback as usual.
Sometimes it pays not to think too much it seems :)
Thanks again,

Glad it works! We expect the first bugfix release to come next week, in response to some of the initial issues people have had with 3.5.0.
