Best way to upgrade from 2.9.3 to 2.9.7.3

[archie-joss]

Hi to all Guys , I'm new here.
I need your help because i stumble upon an issue trying to update ml4w to a new version.

I have an arch installed on my notebook , precisely 6.12.6 and i have ml4w-hyprland 2.9.3 installed.

over the time i decided to non update ml4w-hyprland but only to update the system. Now i have decided to also install the update for ml4w-hyprland and clicked on ml4w welcome app "update now" ,then it display a prompt :

to ML4W Dotfiles 2.9.7.3
Do you want to start the update now?
When I click on yes ... it start update and after a while i get the message :

./update.sh: line 87: ./install.sh: File o directory doesn't exist.

so i looked in ~/dotfiles/update.sh and i see that at line 87 there is this statement :

./install.sh

... but i saw inside ~/Downloads/dotfiles ( for 2.9.7.3 downloaded files) and I found another file : setup-arch.sh

so i gave a sight on this script and see that most of the folder used to install has changed. so because i don't wanto to mess my system ... which is the best way to make the update ??

Even because i also see that there have been a lot changes in between. ( eww vs AGS ..etc.. )
Do I simply launch setup-arch.sh ( alias ml4w-hyperland-setup ) or what else to be sure that all my current folders and configuration don't go break-up

Thank

Hi , while waiting for an answer i tried to solve the issue by my self, so after succesfully updated my system up to the last version, I want post the solution i found just in case could be usefull for someone else :

1. dowload the ml4w-hyperland version you want to install from https://github.com/mylinuxforwork/dotfiles ( in my case was 2.9.4 )

2. unzip the file in /home/{name}/Downloads/dotfiles ( from dotfiles-2.9.4.zip, unzip in a folder with name Downloads/dotfiles )

3. edit /home/{name}/dotfiles/update.sh and comment these lines
   # rm -rf $HOME/Downloads/dotfiles" ( just comment without quotes )
   . . .
   # git clone --branch $latest_version --depth 1 https://github.com/mylinuxforwork/dotfiles.git ~/Downloads/dotfiles
   . . .
   # git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/mylinuxforwork/dotfiles.git ~/Downloads/dotfiles
   Note : If you don't do that the script try to connect to the official site and download the current last version .. this is exactly the thing you don't want.

4. after that you go to /home/{name}/dotfiles and launch manually the script
   ./update.sh
   . . . follow the istructions ...at the end reboot the system.

Then you can repeat the steps from 1 to 4 until dotfiles-2.9.6.zip ... after that release the things are a bit different because the team changed the way to make updates...
Starting from 2.9.6.2 all stuff related to dotfiles configurations is installed in /usr/lib ..and /usr/share ...
to do that , they have implemented a package download and with this command :
yay -S ml4w-hyprland
the script download all the stuff necessary and put it in to /usr/lib .. and /usr/share ... and ml4w-hyprland-setup script file in Usr/bin

this way after you launch
yay -S ml4w-hyprland you can launch the script manually as.
./ml4w-hyprland-setup

after the reboot you can see in ML4W Welcome App the current updated release.

Of cource , any comment are welcome if anything i wrote in incorrect or it needs some more words about.
