<title>General Notes about Upgrading Shorewall</title>
<para>Most problems associated with upgrades come from two causes:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>The user didn't read and follow the migration considerations in
the release notes (these are also reproduced in the <ulink
url="upgrade_issues.htm">Shorewall Upgrade Issues</ulink>).</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>The user mis-handled the
<filename>/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf</filename> file during
upgrade. Shorewall is designed to allow the default behavior of the
product to evolve over time. To make this possible, the design assumes
that <emphasis role="bold">you will not replace your current
shorewall.conf</emphasis> <emphasis role="bold">file during
upgrades</emphasis>. It is recommended that after you first install
Shorewall that you modify
<filename>/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf</filename> so as to prevent
your package manager from overwriting it during subsequent upgrades
(since the addition of STARTUP_ENABLED, such modification is assured
since you must manually change the setting of that option). If you
feel absolutely compelled to have the latest comments and options in
your shorewall.conf then you must proceed carefully. You should
determine which new options have been added and you must reset their
value (e.g. OPTION=""); otherwise, you will get different behavior
from what you expect.</para>

<title>Upgrade the .lrp</title>
<para>The following was contributed by Charles Steinkuehler on the Leaf
mailing list:</para>
<blockquote>
<para>It's *VERY* simple...just put in a new CD and reboot! &nbsp;:-)
Actually, I'm only slightly kidding...that's exactly how I upgrade my
prodution firewalls. &nbsp;The partial backup feature I added to
Dachstein allows configuration data to be stored seperately from the
rest of the package.</para>
<para>Once the config data is seperated from the rest of the package,
it's an easy matter to upgrade the pacakge while keeping your current
configuration (in my case, just inserting a new CD and
re-booting).</para>
<para>Users who aren't running with multiple package paths and using
partial backups can still upgrade a package, it just takes a bit of
extra work. &nbsp;The general idea is to use a partial backup to save
your configuration, replace the package, and restore your old
configuration files. Step-by-step instructions for one way to do this
(assuming a conventional single-floppy LEAF system) would be:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Make a backup copy of your firewall disk ('NEW'). &nbsp;This
is the disk you will add the upgraded package(s) to.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Format a floppy to use as a temporary location for your
configuration file(s) ('XFER'). &nbsp;This disk should have the same
format as your firewall disk (and could simply be another backup
copy of your current firewall).</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Make sure you have a working copy of your existing firewall
('OLD') in a safe place, that you *DO NOT* use durring this process.
That way, if anything goes wrong you can simply reboot off the OLD
disk to get back to a working configuration.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Remove your current firewall configuration disk and replace it
with the XFER disk.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Use the lrcfg backup menu to make a partial backup of the
package(s) you want to upgrade, being sure to backup the files to
the XFER disk. &nbsp;From the backup menu:</para>
<programlisting>t e &lt;enter&gt; p &lt;enter&gt;
b &lt;package1&gt; &lt;enter&gt;
b &lt;package2&gt; &lt;enter&gt;
...</programlisting>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Download and copy the package(s) you want to upgrade onto the
NEW disk.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Reboot your firewall using the NEW disk...at this point your
upgraded packages will have their default configuration.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Mount the XFER disk (mount -t msdos /dev/fd0u1680 /mnt)</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>CD to the root directory (cd /)</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Manually extract configuration data for each package you
upgraded:</para>
<programlisting>tar -xzvf /mnt/package1.lrp
tar -xzvf /mnt/package2.lrp
...</programlisting>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Unmount (umount /mnt) and remove the XFER disk</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Using lrcfg, do *FULL* backups of your upgraded
packages.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Reboot, verifying the firewall works as expected. &nbsp;Some
configuration files may need to be 'tweaked' to work properly with
the upgraded package binaries.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<important>
<para>The new package file &lt;package&gt;.local can be used to
fine-tune which files are included (and excluded) from the partial
backup (see the Dachstein-CD README for details). &nbsp;If this file
doesn't exist, the backup scripts assume anything from the
&lt;package&gt;.list file that resides in /etc or /var/lib/lrpkg is
part of the configuration data and is used to create the partial
backup. &nbsp;If shorewall puts anything in /etc that isn't a user
modified configuration file, a proper shorwall.local file should be
created prior to making the partial backup [<emphasis
role="bold">Editor's note</emphasis>: Shorewall places only
user-modifiable files in /etc].</para>
</important>
<note>
<para>It's obviously possible to do the above 'in-place', without
using multiple disks, and even without making a partial backup (ie:
copy current config files to /tmp, manually extract new package on top
of current running firewall, then copy or merge config data from /tmp
and backup...or similar), but anyone capable of that level of command
line gymnastics is probably doing it already, without needing detailed
instructions! :-)</para>
