Upgrade SOGo from v2 to v3

SOGo-3.x has a shinny new web UI, you can try the online demo here: http://sogo.nu (search 'demo' on the page).

SOGo team offers support for both SOGo v3 and v2, so it's totally fine if you want to stick to SOGo-2.x. In case you want to try SOGo-3.x, please try steps below.

Upgrade SOGo On RHEL/CentOS

• Backup config files first:

mkdir -p /root/sogo-backup/{sogo,sysconfig}
cp /etc/sogo/* /root/sogo-backup/sogo/
cp /etc/sysconfig/sogo /root/sogo-backup/sysconfig/

• Open file /etc/yum.repos.d/sogo.repo, change the baseurl= setting to:

baseurl=https://packages.inverse.ca/SOGo/nightly/3/rhel/$releasever/$basearch/

• Remove sope and sogo packages first, then install SOGo again:

yum remove "sope*" "sogo*"
yum install sogo sogo-ealarms-notify sogo-tool sogo-activesync sope49-gdl1-mysql sope49-gdl1-postgresql

• Restore backup files:

cp /root/sogo-backup/sogo/* /etc/sogo/
