Now all applications should work out of the box on port 980.
We are going to build a new ISO.

Hello @giacomo,

Would this new ISO you are building be for testing the Beta? I’d like to spin up a test Nethserver 7.9 and give it a spin and help if I can.

Thanks!

You can test the above ISO, the new one will have only really few changes. :wink:

looks like the old once?
no upgrade option :frowning:

Before official #announcements from @alefattorini I want to communicate that NethServer 7.9.2009 final ISO has been released and YUM repository mirrors are synchronizing.

And SF wants some… coffee…

Yes it’s slow! Did you try the .torrent download? There is plenty of seeders: it should be faster hopefully!

Yes it is! about 14 - 15 MB/s :smiley:

Not allowed here.

Hello everyone! Can we update to version 7.9 now? The message does not appear in the software center, nor through ssh. Thank you and greetings!

(cough cough)

:sweat_smile: the rush…

I have received this message since last week.

Please attach the output of

yum history pkg-info nethserver-subscription

I can’t guess the history of the server where you found the Upgrade warning but after some investigations I’m now sure I did a mistake :innocent:

The effect was an unexpected disclosure of the 7.9 upgrade in the Software Center, or finding a 7.9 system at the end of a new installation where 7.8 was expected.

Luckily it has not been an issue and it is not an issue at all, now that 7.9 is officially released. However I try to give an explanation of what happened: it’s necessary and it’s fun too!


[the long story]

As it often happens, there is a chain of events and mistakes behind an issue like this. Let’s see them:

  1. It starts from far: on Oct 9, 2019 when an additional .spec file was added to nethserver-subscription code repository. This package is responsible for showing the Software Center upgrade warning and starting the upgrade, if automatic updates are enabled.
    :warning: Our release script can handle just one .spec file safely.

  2. On Nov 13, 2020 I prepared the initial repositories for 7.9. I cloned the .rpm files with hardlinks.
    :warning: I used to make copy of them, then run a deduplication after the release.

  3. On Nov 19, 2020 I released a bogus nethserver-subscription RPM to 7.9.2009 repositories. The evidence of the error is still in the build logs. A 3.6.5 version was built and uploaded, where a 3.6.6 was expected. Why? :warning: I ran old an releasetag script, it was missing this safety measure.

  4. At that point I realized the build 3.6.5 was bad. I removed the bogus RPM from 7.9.2009 and fixed the nethsever-subscription build procedure. The two .spec files are now one, so that shouldn’t happen anymore.

  5. But, but… :warning: I forgot the hardlink, so the bogus 3.6.5 RPM was creeping into 7.8.2003 too.

In the end, if a 7.8.2003 system has already got 3.6.5 it does not hit the “bug”. If it has an older version or it is a new installation it gets nethserver-subscription 3.6.5 and the upgrade starts.

How to avoid similar problems in the future?

  • As said, nethserver-subscription build procedure has already been fixed and the releasetag does not accept implicit arguments any more.

  • Furthermore I’m planning to improve the scripts that do the YUM repo managements when a new minor release arrives. I want to complete them before 7.10.

If you have any doubt or question I’m glad to provide further explanations! Thank you for reading.

PS: and the bogus .rpm? I replaced it with a backup :wink:

H David, this server was installed fresh from ISO. The announcement is no problem for me, but surprising and funny. It is also a mistake without consequences and people make mistakes. I know that best.
Sincerely, Marko
