wgregori Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 I've been using bittorrent sync for about a year now and I'm pretty sure that I've upgraded versions in the past but I can't figure out how to do it this time. When I open my web UI it gives me a message that there is a new version. I download and follow the step,i.e. run ./btsync but this does not upgrade my current version. Any thoughts? thanks,Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevellyan Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 If you originally installed using Tuxpoldo's unofficial Linux packages, then you should upgrade using the 'apt-get upgrade' process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuxpoldo Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 If you originally installed using Tuxpoldo's unofficial Linux packages, then you should upgrade using the 'apt-get upgrade' process. I've just updated the btsync-common package. But it will take one or two hours to publish.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunkerbound Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Does that ppa only upgrade the 1.4 version of btsync? Any ideas on how to upgrade to version 2.0? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wweich Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 The PPA will be updated soon: http://forum.bittorrent.com/topic/18974-debian-and-ubuntu-server-unofficial-packages-for-bittorrent-sync/page-34#entry101355To stay on 1.4, you need to remove the current PPA and add another. I updated to 2.0 a while ago by replacing the btsync-core in /usr/lib/btsync-common/.This file is just the normal btsync binary, so you can replace it with the binary from the download page.
