I do:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade s3cmd
I'm told I'm already at latest version.
But when I do:
$ s3cmd --version
I get version 1.1.0-beta3 which is most definitely not the most recent version, which you can see here: https://github.com/s3tools/s3cmd/blob/master/NEWS
Perhaps Digital Ocean's apt-get info isn't up to date for s3cmd?
This is on an Ubuntu 14.04.3 x64 droplet.
Hey ien,
I believe DO's apt-get repo's are just caching mirrors of the official Ubuntu repos. Version 1.1.0-beta3 is the most recent version that is in Ubuntu's repo (which usually lag a bit behind current releases). You can check which version is available (and what repo it comes from) with the command sudo apt-cache policy s3cmd. For example, from pure Ubuntu server outside of DO:
$ sudo apt-cache policy s3cmd
s3cmd:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 1.1.0~beta3-2
Version table:
1.1.0~beta3-2 0
500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe amd64 Packages
And from a DO droplet
$ sudo apt-cache policy s3cmd
s3cmd:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 1.1.0~beta3-2
Version table:
1.1.0~beta3-2 0
500 http://mirrors.digitalocean.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe amd64 Packages
The s3cmd tools site itself says that the repo's are not up to date, and for the latest version you need to either download it from sourceforge or github.
Hope this helps!
Be careful while u issue , sudo apt-get upgrade s3cmd
You might end up upgrading various packages in that server which u might not want.
