Roll back procedures after failed updates

[par]

Hi,

I wonder how do you people roll back, in case something goes wrong with "./build update versions" ?

It seems that this command compiles new sources, and then overwrites them into filesystem paths, however, in case something is wrong, what is the best way to roll back, using system itself?

(snapshots, and other third party tools are obvious - i mean current system only)

Its been my experience that is does not overwrite the files unless the build was successful. So if something went wrong then the files would not be overwritten.

You can change the versions in versions.txt and then rebuild.
