Update from Repository broken

[mcnesium]

I installed owncloud on ubuntu 14.04 via repository. Having unattended upgrades running I assume owncloud to upgrade automatically. Also I run a cronjob every 15 minutes on cron.php.

Still, every time an upgrade is released, the caldav server is no more reachable. Why? After the upgrade is installed, I still have to go to my owncloud instance in the browser and manually hit the Upgrade button.

Follow-up issue

That's the normal behavior. It just upgrades the installed files. Your either have to go on your owncloud instance and click the update button or you connect to your server via ssh and do the following.

cd /var/www/owncloud/
sudo chmod +x occ
./occ upgrade

Why is this not done by cron.php?

[stonerl]

@jnweiger the file-permission should be changed to 744 or 754 maybe 755 for the occ-file. Could you add a notification to the package to inform the user? Maybe this command could be executed at the end of the upgrade-process?

The openSUSE package also seem to lack ./occ file permissions. Maybe the original tarball didn't have it and the package script needs to automatically set it.

[jnweiger]

Tar ball does not have proper permissions. Enforcing mode 755 in the specfile for all four:
6/7 ee/community.
(Also removed some horrible ntp cruft from the specfiles)

Even though this issue has been closed, it persists up to todays 7.0.3 update. Mirall-, CalDAV- and other clients throw connection failiures and other error messages, until someone goes ahead and opens up the instance in the browser and hits update.

This might be bearable for advanced IT professionals running their very own infrastructure and deal with error messages every day. But for pretty much everyone else who uses the instance that behavior is just uncertainly inconvenient.

So again I am wondering, why this update is not at least done by cron.php. There obviously must be an opt-in for it, but it should be possible.

Also, servers that run unattended upgrades on software installed via repository, should be able to unstall those minor updates this way. That's one of the major points of having software repositories IMHO.

I suppose the upgrade could be triggered by the postinstall part of distro packages.
It would need to run ./occ upgrade on the command line to trigger it automatically.

I raised #12125 to discuss this
