Updating from SME 7.1.x or earlier
There seem to be a lot of questions about updating to SME 7.2 using YUM.
This document will attempt to compile the various questions and answers in one place.
Updating from SME 7.0 or 7.1 to SME 7.2
First, install the latest yum support files:
yum update smeserver-support smeserver-yum yum yum-plugin-fastest-mirror python-sqlite signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
Now, clean your yum cache and update, forcing your system to use the default repositories
yum clean all yum --disablerepo=* \ --enablerepo=base \ --enablerepo=updates \ --enablerepo=smeaddons \ --enablerepo=smeos \ --enablerepo=smeupdates \ update signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
Finally, reset your yum repositories to the new defaults (post SME 7.1)
cd /home/e-smith/db/ mv yum_repositories yum_repositories.po /etc/e-smith/events/actions/initialize-default-databases expand-template /etc/yum.conf
Updating from SME 7.1.3 to SME 7.2
First, make sure you are using the default yum repository configuration:
cd /home/e-smith/db/ mv yum_repositories yum_repositories.po /etc/e-smith/events/actions/initialize-default-databases expand-template /etc/yum.conf
Now, clear your local yum cache and perform the update:
yum clean all yum update signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
Miscellaneous Cleanup Tasks
SME 7.2 includes different default values for some settings. This section tells you how to change those values.
qpsmtpd LogLevel
SME 7.0 - 7.1.3 all defaulted to qpsmtpd LogLevel 8 (or 'debug') in order to make sure that the logfile contained all plugin results.
SME 7.2 now includes the qpsmtpd logterse plugin allowing us to reduce the LogLevel to 6 without loss of critical tracking information and simultaneously reducing log activity significantly. To change the qpsmtpd LogLevel to 6:
config setprop qpsmtpd LogLevel 6 signal-event email-update svc -t /var/service/qpsmtpd
or, to set the default value (in case it ever changes from 6):
config delprop qpsmtpd LogLevel /etc/e-smith/events/actions/initialize-default-databases signal-event email-update svc -t /var/service/qpsmtpd
If you are using Brian Read's "mailstats" script to get daily emails of mail server activity, you should update to the latest version to ensure that you have support for the logterse plugin.

Known Problems
Webmail / Horde
If you have created custom templates designed to change the appearance of Webmail or Horde on your system, you may have to delete your existing custom templates, copy the new version of the same template fragments, and make your customizations on the new copies.
Anyone that has a custom-template of 110AppRegistryHorde is going to be affected, because of the webroot detection changes in horde 3.1.4. It doesn't work as advertised. Copying the new 110AppRegistryHorde to templates-custom and then making your changes will allow you to customize your setup once again.
