Updating Open-Xchange Server packages

This article describes how to update Open-Xchange Server packages from one service pack to another.

What is written here only applies to Open-Xchange Server Service Pack levels SP4 and newer!

What Service Pack do I have installed?

The service pack can be determined in checking the version number of the open-xchange package. The second digit relates to the SP version. The following table shows a list of package versions and the corresponding SP number:

Package version	SP Version
6.4	SP3
6.6	SP4
6.8	SP5

If the second digit is an odd number (e.g. 6.3, 6.5 or 6.7), you have a beta or snapshot version installed.

How to determine the version number?

On Debian based distributions

Run

$ dpkg -l open-xchange

The following output should appear:
