Auto upgrade button missing


I've got a jenkins CI installed from a debian package (1.424.6 version, Debian/Ubuntu distribution, running on ubuntu 12.04). I read on the web that jenkins provides an automatic upgrade button, just like in this link. But I don't have such thing on my jenkins. I tried to find answers on google and in jenkins config, but failed. Maybe it's impossible for debian/ubuntu installed package?


Solution

  • as it states in the https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Automated+Upgrade "Using the Upgrade-Button from within Jenkins (available since 1.318) will not work if Jenkins was installed from a Debian package (results in permission denied errors when trying to download the new WAR file)!"

    so even if you find the button it will fail.

    but it also says that

    aptitude update && aptitude install jenkins

    will update the jenkins to the newest version, give it a try :)
