v0.9.8 - Fix Installation Upgrade Issue

ZimaOS Client v0.9.8 - Fix Installation Upgrade Issue

Critical Bug Fix

Fixed "File Busy" Error During Upgrades

• Issue: When upgrading from v0.9.7, the installation would fail with:

  cp: cannot create regular file (busy)
  

• Cause: ZeroTier service was running while trying to overwrite binaries
• Fix: Stop ZeroTier service before copying binaries during installation

This ensures smooth upgrades without manual intervention.

Who Should Upgrade?

If you installed v0.9.7, you should upgrade to v0.9.8:

1. The first upgrade may still show the error (stop the service manually)
2. Future upgrades will work smoothly

If installation fails, run these commands first:

systemctl --user stop zima-zerotier.service
sudo dpkg -i zima-linux-client_0.9.8_amd64.deb
