How does one go about getting to RC-8?

@Tom-Elliott said in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS:

So it could be good as the nodes will ALWAYS have current image files

It will never be good. People who image using the nodes will have corrupt systems because they image with an incomplete file 99%+ of the time.

In your git repo,

git pull
git checkout working-RC-8
cd bin
./installfog.sh

This reconfigures git to use the branch.

@Wayne-Workman Why do you say that? The replication tasks know if there’s already replication tasks operating. If it’s still running during the next cycle check, it will not do the delete stuff.

@Wayne-Workman

Do you have a good wiki on setting up a git repo? I haven’t set one up on these servers. I’ve been using SVN.

[Wayne Workman]

@Tom-Elliott Because replication is always happening, the file will most of the time be incomplete, and DEPLOY tasks will always fail. I have pictures of it, they were emailed to me all day by technicians.

Just follow the git instructions in the “Upgrade to Trunk” wiki article. But append my steps. FYI Tom gave me the steps earlier.

@Wayne-Workman I mean, the tasks don’t randomly get deleted. They will only delete if the replication from the master has completed.

There’s a 10 minute gap by default for the next replication cycle to start. If you image bewteen the “cool off” period, it should work fine, but once the cycle starts back up it will delete the files.

[Wayne Workman]

@Tom-Elliott case in point.

@Wayne-Workman

This does sound like what my previous version was doing. My deployments failed almost every time. I had to kill my tasks for each system to finish. I’ve used this image enough now that I know it wasn’t the image.

@Wayne-Workman

So I ran the GIT update using the commands you provided and I show the following:

Tue Aug 09, 2016 17:01 pm
Running Version 16
SVN Revision: 5948

Is that correct for RC-8?

[Wayne Workman]

@Joe-Gill Yep. Correct until Tom makes another change to it.
