Upgrade from 5.0.11 to 5.0.12 stomping on themes

[jhheider]

It looks like my upgrade from ZCS 5.0.11 -> 5.0.12 completely removed all my themes and other branding. This is a problem. Thank god for backups. :-)

I'll probably try this upgrade again. Other than copying the changed files (of mine) into the new /opt/zimbra/jetty/ is there anything else I need to do? Anyone have a more elegant solution to this problem?

That's expected behaviour. Any modifications or additions you make to files in the /opt/zimbra directory structure may get change or removed during an upgrade, you'll need to apply them after your upgrade.

All the new logos and branding files mods we copy in the same directories with the suffix ".reliable" -- BEFORE we do any upgrades. You can then replace the Zimbra-overwritten versions with these via a copy command after the upgrade.

For example:

# ls -al
total 68
drwxr-xr-x 3 zimbra zimbra  4096 Jul 28  2008 .
drwxr-xr-x 5 zimbra zimbra  4096 Jul 28  2008 ..

Hope that helps,
