Sametime 7.5 CF1 out, so to follow onto Carl’s postings..


Tags :


Carl went crazy with a string of posts today on Sametime 7.5 CF1.  There was one minor discussion about utilizing the Eclipse framework to push out this change.  Brett van Gelder points out before I could even get to typing that Lotus did not package the update this way.  I imagine most of you do not have a site.xml in place for beginners to handle the updating.

From there the clients are not set to properly retrieve incremental releases from a central site.  Forgiving all of the config areas on our part, the package that came from Lotus also uses forces an alternate directory for installation (Carl makes a good point in the comments on why they may have made this change) and was not wrapped with the proper feature and manifest files to move into the site.xml for automatic distribution.  However, this screws with plug-ins it seems.  We have found no documentation around this in the readme yet.

I thought that was one of the points, but I am not sure when we can expect this to be available.  I would love to grab a fix from Lotus, update the site.xml section appropriately and let it fly so everyone gets the prompt that the updates are installed and do you wish to restart the Sametime Connect client now, or in 5 minutes as the documentation around it showed as an example.
