NethServer 6.7 Beta1 ready for testing

davidep · August 26, 2015, 10:57am

The NethSever 6.7 Beta1 ISO is ready for preliminary tests. It’s about 480MB and is available as Bittorrent download at

http://mirror.nethserver.org/nethserver/torrent/nethserver-6.7-beta1-x86_64.iso.torrent

The ISO is built on CentOS 6.7 minimal ISO, and contains additional NethServer packages from 6.6 branch. In other words, it is NethServer 6.6 rebased on CentOS 6.7.

I installed it successfully on a VM, following the interactive install method. After reboot everything worked as expected, from First configuration Wizard to installation of additional modules from the Software Center.

Further tests should cover

unattended ISO installer
individual modules functionalty (I expect no problems here)
installation on CentOS 6.7 minimal, following the updated Admin’s guide
upgrade of 6.6 to 6.7, following the NethServer 6.7 Beta release notes

Who wants to help? Any upgrade of existing 6.6 system is very appreciated

If you’d like to propose a new goal/feature for 6.7 Final, please post it on NethServer 6.7 roadmap.

Great news Davide. That’s super!
I just hope that I’ll find some time to finish the backup config module modifications so that maybe it will be included into this release

Best regards

[about OCS, see also my comment]

If you’re talking about items in Software center page, according to

http://docs.nethserver.org/projects/nethserver-devel/en/latest/package_groups.html

we have to modify this:

I tried updating but I have this error:

Errore: php56w-common conflicts with php-common-5.3.3-46.el6_6.x86_64
Si puÃ² provare ad usare --skip-broken per aggirare il problema
Provare ad eseguire: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Suggest?

davidep · August 28, 2015, 7:37pm

php56w-common, where does it come from? SCL?
Remove/downgrade it, then try the update again.

Edit: @Provolino72, any update?

dz00te · August 31, 2015, 2:07pm

I do not have much time lately but …
installation on centos 6.7 minimal: work
upgrade to 6.7: works (tested only without no additional packages installed… i need some more time to make some more complex update testing)

all tests made on VM (KVM on proxmox)

alefattorini · August 31, 2015, 3:35pm

That’s a great news man! You’re really a great tester!

GG_jr · August 31, 2015, 6:32pm

Works fine (please see my post from above)

All modules works without problems, as you expected.
Also some special tests: installed / removed and reinstalled the same modules, installed different modules and removed.

All the tests were made on VM (VirtualBox on Ubuntu host), NS like UTM and also on dedicated server (IBM xSeries 346), NS like Email server.

You’re ready for the testing team!!
Great work man!

GG_jr · September 3, 2015, 6:32pm

Hi everybody,

I saw a difference between unattended ISO installation and upgrade of 6.6 to 6.7, following the NethServer 6.7 Beta release notes: Password policies (Security section) appear only with unattended ISO installation.

I don’t know if is present with installation on CentOS 6.7 minimal, following the updated Admin’s guide.

I didn’t see this module in NethServer 6.6.

It’s a bug or there are some differences between installation modes (?!)?

alefattorini · September 4, 2015, 7:38am

please keep going on that topic

mabeleira · September 10, 2015, 3:51pm
