A new minor release (version 18.2.1-4) of AWIPS EDEX has been made for Linux servers. No changes have been made to CAVE since the 18.2.1-3 release, however the version for Linux has been updated to 18.2.1-4. This release:
- Fixes an issue with installing EDEX on a brand new server and having EDEX Ingest fail to start
- Updated awips_install.sh script:
- Added checks to check for wget and rsync and install if they aren't installed
- Updated the "backup" section - gives users the option to not backup data
- Only backs up the ldm/etc and ldm/dev directories instead of the full LDM directory
