How to Upgrade cacti version

[duwijakarta]

Hello, I want to ask about updating version from 1.2.25 to 1.2.28, can it be done directly with patch 1.2.28 or do I need to do it one by one from 1.2.26-1.2.28? and is there a tutorial on upgrading the version?
thanks

Directly.
Described here https://docs.cacti.net/Upgrading-Cacti.md
I suggest wait for days for 1.2.29 or you can use code from https://github.com/Cacti/cacti/tree/1.2.x which will be 1.2.29
1.2.28 has few issues

okey, while i wait. I tried to follow the instructions on this link https://docs.cacti.net/Upgrading-Cacti.md by downloading the file from this link https://www.cacti.net/info/downloads, but after it was finished running, why did it say downgrade from version 1.2.28 to 1.2.25? while mine was previously 1.2.25, after next until finished it went back to the original state

or should I download it from this link? https://github.com/Cacti/cacti/releases

https://github.com/Cacti/cacti/releases - you can use it, but here is 1.2.28 only. 1.2.29 will be released soon.
If you can 1.2.29, you need download if from here now (green button code) https://github.com/Cacti/cacti/tree/1.2.x

After I open it https://github.com/Cacti/cacti/tree/1.2.x, which menu do I choose to download the tar.gz file?

[macan]

There is only one big green button "<> CODE"

I've tried doing this step,

Extract the distribution tarball.

shell> tar -xzvf cacti-version.tar.gz

Copy the distribution tarball to the existing installation.

shell> /bin/cp -rpf cacti-version cacti

but when checked again the cacti is still at the same version there is no change, how do I check it?

it is true. You have 1.2.28 with all fixes from 1.2.29.

I mean, I upgraded earlier and was still using version 1.2.28, can I just try using version 1.2.x (1.2.29)?
or for some people who tried to upgrade to version 1.2.28 experienced the same thing as me?

[macan]

if you used code from https://github.com/Cacti/cacti/tree/1.2.x, you have 1.2.29. Only this code is not taged as 1.2.29

If I upgrade the version, do I need to upgrade the Spine? And how do I upgrade it?

[macan]

You don't need exactly same version of cacti and spine. If the versions differ by a tenth, you usually won't have a problem. The more the versions differ, the more likely the problem is.
So cact 1.2.29 vs. spine 1.2.27, it will be ok.
