Spksrc: Update NZBget to v18

[d-zalewski]

v18 is out https://github.com/nzbget/nzbget/releases/tag/v18.0

[bjornwahman]

Yes please update to v18

[Dark2004]

Yes please if it's possible as i have seen that for some product i can not be done easily

[Trapperjohn61]

I would also appreciate an update to v18. There was a v17 that was not pkgd.
Thank you for your help,
Bryan

[cytec]

still not sure if v18 compiles with synologys gcc version

[DoctorX666]

A jump from v16 to v18 would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks!

[bjornwahman]

Running v18 on my synology nas 415+ installed manually through cli.

[Trefex]

Agreed. Please provide update to this great package!

[cytec]

spamming this issue won't make it happen any sooner... Synologys Toolchains use GCC 4.9 (afaik) which doesn't fully support C++11 which is needed since v17. Basically you'll have to wait till DSM6 support is added to spksrc or install it manually

[KaraokeStu]

@bjornwahman If you fancied putting together a temporary guide to the steps required to install through the CLI, this might help some people until we have the DSM 6 toolchains released to us

[Trapperjohn61]

I appreciate that the Synology toolchains are not available yet for dsm6 as mentioned by @cytec
I would also appreciate as @KaraokeStu has requested a guide to install through the cli.
If @bjornwahman would create one it would be very helpful of course anyone that can help the community would be appreciated.
Normally I would not ask but we are now 2 full versions behind and the 3rd v19 is already being worked on.
Thank you for your help,
Bryan

shouldn't it work by just downloading the correct binary and replace the old one? if that works, i think that's the "simplest" solution... no need to change any script's or something like that

I was in the same situation, wanting to upgrade to v18 stable and I followed the advice from @cytec. I take no responsibility, if you mess up though. Backup your nzbget folder just in case (for me it was /volume1/@appstore/nzbget). The steps I took:

1. Download the binary release from here
2. Extract the installer (on Ubuntu it's sh ./nzbget-18.0-bin-linux.run --unpack)
3. Pick the right binary (depends on your cpu architecture)
4. Replace the binary and webui/scripts folder on the DS (binary in /volume1/@appstore/nzbget/bin/ and webui/scipts in /volume1/@appstore/nzbget/share/nzbget)
5. Start nzbget from Package Manager

And it works... so far. I didn't replace unrar and 7z, since they were newer in the SynoCommunity release.

Hi,
Do you use sonarr with nzbget? If so do you see this error after upgrading to 18 by just doing the copy procedure you described?

DownloadMonitoringService Unable to retrieve queue and history items from Nzbget: Cannot access a disposed object. Object name: 'System.Net.Sockets.NetworkStream'. 1:28pm

[superost]

Not sure about that one - I googled that error, and it could be an incompatibility involving Mono.. But that's out of my league really. So I can't help ya with that.

Test package for new-style NZBGet has been released: #3138.
We no longer compile it here on the repo, but fetch the latest official installer from NZBGet.
During package installation you can choose if you want the latest stable or testing release. After this you can use NZBGet's internal update system to do updates. It also includes updates to user-management.
We hope to soon publish this on the official repo.
