Question: Usefull update order #69

Closed peterscarsten closed 2 months ago

peterscarsten commented 2 months ago

Hey,

it's not really an issue, just a question.

Because of several reason, my Victron system is outdated.

CerboGX v3.13 SetupHelper v5.18 GuiMods v8.29

I saw the readme of SetupHelper, that there was a bigger change in v6.0.

So what do you think is the usefull update order?

In my opinion, I would start with SetupHelper, continue with GuiMods and as last the cerbo itself.

The order should not make a significant difference.

I would turn on automatic downloads and installs in PackageManager and let that complete, then do a firmware update. All packages will reinstall after the firmware update.

Recent updates added "helper files" to all packages so they are less reliant on the contents of SetupHelper to function properly. This handles the "bigger changes" that is part of SetupHelper v6.0 and allows packages to update before SetupHelper does.

Thanks for the quick reply.
