[IIAB] Fwd: [UKids] IIAB Software Install

Sat Jul 12 13:45:15 PDT 2014

Hi Tim et al,
Sounds like it is working.

As for the other problems being reported, I do now know how the pip
installed version of IIAB and the RPM version will interact.  It may be
that installing both from pip and RPM that the RPM version may still be
used.

You can tell what version is running by going to the "Settings" page in the
IIAB web interface and checking "Software Version"  (ignore "Dataset
Version", it is not valid).

You can test the "correct" behavior of the latest version by going to my
server at:

http://50.1.176.31:28105/iiab

This is not how I envisioned the next release of IIAB to go.  Datasets
floating around with uncertain pedigree, running software versions which
have had no thorough testing, no manpower available from our side to
support, and two days until shipment.  There was a reason I had not
released a new version in the past nine months.

That said, this newer version has been deployed to several countries on our
IIAB appliances without any issues detected or reported.
