Ultimate ns7 software updates origin policy

Feature
18

The new policy has been released. This new #feature brings a more predictable behavior of system updates.

Released RPMs are:

  • nethserver-release-7-13.ns7.noarch.rpm
  • nethserver-base-3.7.0-1.ns7.noarch.rpm
  • nethserver-subscription-3.4.0-1.ns7.noarch.rpm
  • nethserver-subscription-ui-3.4.0-1.ns7.noarch.rpm

Recap:

  • The software origin policy radio button was removed from UI
  • The NethServer.repo YUM config file is now a template: as such it overwrites any local configuration
  • The YUM configuration forcibly points to version 7.6.1810 for both NethServer and CentOS repositories
  • EPEL repository is always accessed as generic version “7”
  • When NS 7.7 is released the system upgrade must be started manually, from the Software Center page: automated/cron tasks were removed
  • The YUM configuration split between update and install use case was removed

The above changes does not affect Subscription and Enterprise versions.
