(linuxworld) -- the gpld business accounting package nola that we have been working with is a project under development. in part 15 of our series, we set up a nola web server using red hat 7.2, and nola stable release 1.1.1 and if you followed along, and set up your own, perhaps youve been exploring the empty halls of your new online accounting department.
if you did, you probably also know that nola is now at stable release 1.1.2 and you may even be wondering why we didnt use that newer version to set up the system. after all, most articles and tutorials advise you to download the latest version of everything.
well, not here. nola is still somewhat beta although some companies may find it satisfactory today. (youll note that i am taking the cowards path in not declaring that nola is, or is not ready for production deployment. every company has unique needs and capabilities, and will have to make that decision on their own.) in any case, being a gpld offering, we can expect development to continue and updates provided as they become ready -- on a more or less continual basis -- and not on a market-driven upgrade cycle.
when you take on a business accounting system, youre in it for the long haul. if we are going to trust our data to the application, we want to be certain that it is easily kept up-to-date. yep, its a contrived exercise! we will be upgrading from 1.1.1 to 1.1.2 in this installment because we want to know now whether it is difficult and dangerous to update nola, or a simple and reliable process. be honest, if you hadnt installed the outdated version, you wouldnt get the opportunity to upgrade until a newer version is available, now would you? then youd be tempted not to upgrade for fear of breaking it, wouldnt you? dont curl your lip and snarl at me, i did this for your own good! (sort of like heaping your plate with cabbage and refusing to indulge you in your preference for a diet of nothing but beer and chocolate bars.)
in a perfect world, updating a lamp (linux+apache+mysql+php) application should be as easy as replacing a light bulb. this isnt a perfect world (if it was perfect, you wouldnt have been subjected to that bad play on words), but i think you will find that upgrading nola comes pretty close to the ideal.
oh, and by the way...
