The update doesn't seem to be working very well at the moment

I'm not super familiar with our code-server service. @code-asher is this a bug?

Otherwise, do you need to remove the service and then upgrade code-server?

[code-asher]

Oh just saw this does not use our install script. In that case use -U instead of -i. But we do need to also fix our install script.

[im-coder-lg]

Has anyone tried deleting the 3.9.0 RPM download and then downloaded 3.12.0 RPM?

[Ran-Xing]

@code-asher Are you sure that only the installation script cannot be updated?
It seems that rpm -ivh cannot be updated either.
Are you talking about rpm -uvh?
My English is not very good, please forgive me.

[code-asher]

Yes that is right! rpm -i will not work to update an rpm package, you will have to use rpm -U

As @im-coder-lg mentioned you can also remove the current code-server (-e I think?) and then use -i to install the new one.
