orientdb has moved to different hosting and doesn't provide the old version anymore

[ericonr]

https://www.orientdb.com points at https://orientdb.org , but I can't find the version of the package we use (2.2.29). Would suggest either updating or removing the package.

Looks like they have a GH repo that does contain tags for historical releases. 2.2.29 is on there, but it's also a major release and 3 years old by now so it probably makes sense to update.

m0rg-dev@22c7d3f would get it on 3.1.11, which does appear to work (to the level of "you can start the server up and screw around with the demo database," at least.)

The only question I'd have is whether going from 2.x to 3.x would be a problem.

Maybe they have a porting document we could use? Does the service also work with that version?

I think people using this should be relatively aware of their stuff, so an update would be noticed anyway, and they'd probably know where to look for such info anyway, so if you can't find it I still think it's worth the update.

http://orientdb.com/docs/3.0.x/release/3.0/Upgrading-to-OrientDB-3.0.html says 3.x is pretty backwards-compatible at least.

Per http://orientdb.com/docs/3.0.x/release/Upgrade.html, though, it sounds like they consider moving an existing installation from 2.x to 3.x to require some degree of manual intervention? Not sure.

I think these are all natural evolutions of the package, and not something that needs to be mentioned in an INSTALL.msg. So I'd go ahead with the simple update.
