NethServer Version: 8
I cannot install some apps (Rally) as you can see:
I think you need to update NS8 core first. For some reason
Testing versions and apps using version tags like “…-alpha.1” are not shown in Software Center anymore. I had similar issues.
Thanks to @Andy_Wismer who noticed it first and reported it to me.
@oneitonitram I think you need to upgrade your repo to provide at least one production release of an app to be shown in Software Center.
Installations from CLI should always be possible.
EDIT:
I couldn’t reproduce the issue. With core 3.4.0 the Rally app is shown on my servers no matter if rocky/debian or subscription.
@fausp did you try to reload the repositories?
EDIT2:
@oneitonitram I found that for some apps like Gitea or Firefly the app info is not shown when clicking the icon.
For GLPI it’s shown:

The Rally app, like many others from @oneitonitram’s repository have only testing versions. The Core release 3.4.0 makes them visible but it does not explain well what is happening. The UI tooltip “Update to core 0.0.0…” is misleading!
I guess similar entries appeared after update to Core 3.4.0. If so, they are false alarms. Such entries were previously hidden, unless the the testing flag was enabled with specific commands in Redis, as documented in the Dev’s manual.
@mrmarkuz @oneitonitram I filed this bug to fix the misleading message, however for your repository metadata I’d suggest to publish only apps with at least one non-prerelease (stable) tag. If you really want that users install unstable applications, tag them as stable, and add a qualifier like Alpha, Beta, Testing, Unstable to the application “name” and “description” metadata attributes.

noticed the Description of Apps under the testing branch, seem not possible t view or review
Could you clarify what you mean? I’m not sure I understand your point.
I was referring to the “repodata-schema.json” and “UI metadata.json” files, as explained in the Create a Repository documentation.
While fixing this bug #7211, we introduced a new behavior that unfortunately conflicts with your use case. I wasn’t aware that some apps in custom repositories have unstable versions only—this seems to be a more common scenario than initially thought. As a result, we now have a regression, which will be addressed in #7228.
In the meantime, here’s a workaround for such cases:
- Release the app using a stable tag, like
0.1.2. - Add a qualifier like “Alpha” to the application name, for example, “Rally (Alpha)”.
Alternatively, you can temporarily remove the app from the repository metadata until the fix is released.

WHat i meant is above, All the listed Apps on the software center, that belong to testing branch, currently Do not have visible app description when you click on the given app name, However all other apps, even in the same repo seem to correctly display the application description.
We are working on getting Most, if not all apps on our repo to production, hopefully within the first week of the year.
this should Make it easy to Install and work with the Apps via the software center. U number fo internal testing we need t work on to achieve this.
