Hi All,
Just changing the filename in the cache is not sufficient.
Investigating further the proxy-accounting or squid-accounting does not show up in the Available Updates: box.
The packages_list.db has
squid-accounting;1.0.4;13;
and
proxy-accounting;1.0.4;14;
in the list and the installed addon is squid-accounting with version 13 and is not renamed to proxy-accounting until the upgrade button is pressed.
As the new addon name is different to the old addon name they are considered different packages and therefore not listed in the Available Updates box.
At the moment I still haven't been able to figure out how to get it to realise that squid-accounting and proxy-accounting are the same addon and needs to be listed as available for upgrade.
Regards,
Adolf.

Hi Matthias and all,
I may have found what I need to change.
In my updated /var/cache/pakfire/ directory I have squid-accounting-1.0.4-13.ipfire
So there is not a proxy-accounting-1.0.4-14.ipfire package present, which I would expect if this addon has been updated.
I suspect that this package file name need to be changed to proxy-accounting-1.0.4-13.ipfire so that the new version will be added to be updated.
I will give that a try with my vm system. Have squid-accounting installed on a CU164 version and then manually rename that package file in the cache and then run the CU165 Testing update.
If that works then I know what filename change I need to add into the Core Update 165 update.sh script.
Regards,
Adolf.

Hi Adolf,
I hope I get this right:
As I see it, 'acct.en.pl' - together with the other files needed for this package - is located in the directory 'src/squid-accounting/'.
Correct
You may want to rename this directory to 'src/proxy-accounting'!? ;-)
Michael only wanted me to rename directories and filenames that would be seen by people using the WUI so I left the source as it was.
IMHO, all you have to do is to change 'acct.*.pl' as you want to and bump the version number in the 'lfs'-file ('lfs/squid-accounting').
That is what I had already done. The PAK_VER was changed from 13 to 14. However the filename was also changed from squid-accounting to proxy-accounting.
The 'update.sh' file you're searching for is in 'src/paks/squid-accounting/', together with 'install' and 'uninstall'. But I think this won't need a change.
Those pak files have not been changed. The update.sh script I meant is the one in config/rootfiles/core/165/update.sh when using the current master repository. This update.sh script had some lines added by Peter to ensure that people who already had squid-accounting installed would have their filenames updated to proxy-accounting.
After that was done I realised that there were two more files that needed to have their name changed. That was the easy bit.
The problem is that if you install the proxy-accounting addon in CU165 then everything works perfectly. If you have squid-accounting installed in CU164 or earlier then the update fro version 13 squid-accounting to version 14 proxy-accounting does not install the new acct.en.pl lang file that I had updated in my patch (even though on a new install it is correctly installed).
Since I wrote the previous email I have been wondering if updated addons are included because the PAK_VER number is incremented for a specific addon filename. This might give a problem because the filename of the addon also changes in pakfire so maybe the Core Update process from 164 to 165 does not end up running the update.sh pak file for squid-accounting because it doesn't look like the PAK_VER has changed because it is for a different addon name.
Thanks for the input Matthias. I probably didn't make my situation clear enough for someone looking at this for the first time.
Looking back at the IPFire history it looks like the name of an existing addon has never been changed so everyone is feeling their way to figure out how to ensure people that have this addon already installed get it properly updated.

Hi All,
I am trying to do an update of this patch for /core/165/update.sh related to the proxy-accounting addon.
I was able to fairly easily copy the approach from Peter on the earlier lines to create mv lines for the backup file and the includes file for squid-accounting to proxy-accounting.
What I have not been able to figure out is how to get the updated acct.en.pl language file included in the update.
I would expect that any changed addon would have its update.sh pak file run but I can't figure out where that is defined and it doesn't look like it happened with Core Update 165 Testing as an already installed version stays with the old language names.
Can anyone help me with how to get this new lang file installed for any one who already has an existing installed squid-accounting/proxy-accounting installation.
Regards,
Adolf.

Hi Peter,
I didn't notice at the time, my fault, but two additional files need to have their names changed with this patch. I just found it out when testing a CU from 164 to 165 Testing with squid-accounting installed as an addon in the CU164 version.
The files needing changing are:-
/var/ipfire/backup/includes/squid-accounting to /var/ipfire/backup/includes/proxy-accounting
/var/ipfire/backup/includes/squid-accounting.ipf to /var/ipfire/backup/includes/proxy-accounting.ipf

Thanks very much for figuring this out. I will note this so that when I need to do it in future I know how to approach it.
Lucky thing is that all of the packages that were in my perl renaming patch set were all core packages with none being addons so this approach is not needed for any of them.
