On a clean install of webtop5, I cannot change the admin users password. Upon logging into webtop with “admin” for both the username and password, I attempt to change the password in the settings. It seems to change the password (there is no confirmation or error message upon the change).
The password change never takes effect, the admin password remains “admin”, and nothing new is printed into the webtop log. Possible bug?
this is an already known bug (https://redmine.sonicle.com/issues/338) for which the fix that has been included in the next update has already been created.
So issue filed 60 days ago, with a fix already written and update pack already created… still not released? For bug on admin credentials management? In a stable implementation on “default groupware”?
Ok… That makes me feel quite dazed. By my perspective the action button for Webtop is ⏏️, in this moment this application is not suitable for my needs, and I’m quite sorry about that.
Maybe i’ll try to “play” with that later in the year.
the release process from Sonicle git repos to NS has other paths that have their timings.
Luckily, this issue is not disturbing the user base, but “just” the admin base, but they are the one that can handle these situations the best, isn’t it?
Anyway, I bet the fix is coming soon from the NS repo.
We are doing our best to provide a good and solid implementation, but we should probably release early, release often.
We are working to improving the process!
This is true, and I would like to reduce this gap as much as possible.
We now have an automated build based on Travis, so we can push WebTop to NethServer repository as soon as a new release is available.
I would like to open up also this process: what about announcing each new release of WebTop directly here with all instructions for new installations and upgrade process for existing one?
Since the issue 338 doesn’t contain any reference to code, I can’t check if the fix is inside the shipped package or not.
We probably did some mistake, and of course we can release a new version with the fix.
Gabriele, could you please point me to the fix so I can check if released RPM contains it?
