# From 7.1 to 7.2 ## Editable labels In GitLab 7.2 we replace Issue and Merge Request tags with labels, making it possible to edit the label text and color. The characters '?', '&' and ',' are no longer allowed however so those will be removed from your tags during the database migrations for GitLab 7.2. ### 0. Backup ```bash cd /home/git/gitlab sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:backup:create RAILS_ENV=production ``` ### 1. Stop server ```bash sudo service gitlab stop ``` ### 2. Get latest code ```bash cd /home/git/gitlab sudo -u git -H git fetch --all ``` For GitLab Community Edition: ```bash sudo -u git -H git checkout 7-2-stable ``` OR For GitLab Enterprise Edition: ```bash sudo -u git -H git checkout 7-2-stable-ee ``` ### 3. Update gitlab-shell ```bash cd /home/git/gitlab-shell sudo -u git -H git fetch sudo -u git -H git checkout v1.9.7 ``` ### 4. Install new system dependencies The latest version of the 'rugged' gem requires `pkg-config` and `cmake` to build its native extensions. ```bash sudo apt-get install pkg-config cmake ``` ### 5. Install libs, migrations, etc. ```bash cd /home/git/gitlab # MySQL installations (note: the line below states '--without ... postgres') sudo -u git -H bundle install --without development test postgres --deployment # PostgreSQL installations (note: the line below states '--without ... mysql') sudo -u git -H bundle install --without development test mysql --deployment # Run database migrations sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production # Clean up assets and cache sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake assets:clean assets:precompile cache:clear RAILS_ENV=production # Update init.d script sudo cp lib/support/init.d/gitlab /etc/init.d/gitlab ``` ### 6. Update config files #### New configuration options for gitlab.yml There are new configuration options available for gitlab.yml. View them with the command below and apply them to your current gitlab.yml. ``` git diff 7-1-stable:config/gitlab.yml.example 7-2-stable:config/gitlab.yml.example ``` Update rack attack middleware config ``` sudo -u git -H cp config/initializers/rack_attack.rb.example config/initializers/rack_attack.rb ``` ### 7. Start application sudo service gitlab start sudo service nginx restart ### 8. Check application status Check if GitLab and its environment are configured correctly: sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:env:info RAILS_ENV=production To make sure you didn't miss anything run a more thorough check with: sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:check RAILS_ENV=production If all items are green, then congratulations upgrade is complete! ### 9. Update OmniAuth configuration When using Google omniauth login, changes of the Google account required. Ensure that `Contacts API` and the `Google+ API` are enabled in the [Google Developers Console](https://console.developers.google.com/). More details can be found at the [integration documentation](../integration/google.md). ## Things went south? Revert to previous version (7.1) ### 1. Revert the code to the previous version Follow the [upgrade guide from 7.0 to 7.1](7.0-to-7.1.md), except for the database migration (The backup is already migrated to the previous version) ### 2. Restore from the backup: ```bash cd /home/git/gitlab sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:backup:restore RAILS_ENV=production ``` If you have more than one backup *.tar file(s) please add `BACKUP=timestamp_of_backup` to the command above.
