FOG 1.5.10 officially released

[plegrand]

@Sebastian-Roth
Hello,
until now I was using the “dev-branch” branch of git:

git branch -vv
* dev-branch ddb9904a7 [origin/dev-branch] Fix https build failing due to inline tests
 master 171d63724 [origin/master] FOG 1.5.9 Officially Released

For the latest update of fog: 1.5.10, is it better to switch to the master branch?
This is a production server and I don’t want to “break” it.

Once the choice of the branch is made, the update procedure is always the same?

Change the reference branch to master or dev-branch (To be done the first time)
	git checkout master or git checkout dev-branch
Initialize git :
	git init
Update the git repository:
	git pull
Install FOG
cd bin/
./installfog.sh

Thanks for your help.
Pascal

@plegrand Good you are asking. Going forward is always supported. So in your particular case coming from commit ddb9904a7 (version 1.5.9.111) you can safely switch to the master branch and then follow the known update commands:

cd /path/to/fogproject
git checkout master
git pull
# Make sure this succeeds as it can fail when you have made changes to the repo files,
# e.g. compiled ipxe binaries. If this fails, then you can drop all modifications using "git reset --hard HEAD"
cd bin
./installfog.sh

@Sebastian-Roth
Thank you for your answer.
I didn’t touched anything in the deposits.
I use Fog as it is, without changing anything.
So I will do the update and I will come back here to tell you if everything went well.
Thanks again.

Thanks you guys for keeping this project alive. We really love that because it’s saving us so much time.
Big thanks to all developers and supporters for their time!

This seems like a dumb question but is there a way for us to “Upgrade to FOG 1.5.10” without a complete uninstallation?

Thanks.

[george1421]

@Kureebow Yes, if you installed FOG originally using the git method, just change to that directory (typically /root/fogproject) and execute the command git pull then change into the bin directory and run the installfog.sh script once again. That will update fog from a previous release to 1.5.10.

[Kureebow]

@george1421 Sorry for the late response I have been out of my office for a family emergency. This is the response I got when attempting that command. Thanks

[root@localhost fogproject]# git pull
fatal: Not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /home)
Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set).
[root@localhost fogproject]#

[george1421]

@Kureebow It sounds like you crated the fogproject directory using the tarball and not the git clone method?

[Sebastian Roth]

@Kureebow May I please ask you to open a new topic as this issue is not really related to the initial post.

[Sebastian Roth]

FOG 1.5.10 was kind of re-released (technically just re-tagged on Github) just now to patch issues causing trouble when updating from an earlier version with the location plugin enabled.

[Squanchy2112]

Thank you all for the hard work we all truly appreciate it, for updating can we just install this on to of 1.5.9?

[Sebastian Roth]

@Squanchy2112 Yes sure, you can Update from 1.5.9 by simply running the 1.5.10 FOG installer.

Hello and thank you for your very useful job !

The installation instructions in https://news.fogproject.org/fog-1-5-10-officially-released/ link seams not good.
The link drives me to installer archive

@lebrun78 I’m not seeing any issues.

The link changed over time as we are working on the docs as well. This should be fixed now.

@JJ-Fullmer Will the links change again in the future you reckon?

[Dyego Sales]

Thank you so much FOG team!!!

[JJ Fullmer]

@Sebastian-Roth I have a work in progress concept for permanent links. But things have gotten busy and I haven’t had much free time to get it working in full.
Short version is that we’ll be able to create uuids for all pages and that can be used as a permanent link even if it moves elsewhere in the doc.

After upgrade 1.5.9.110 to 1.5.10 fog stopped sending email, i can still send through terminal with sendmail -v , is this a know bug ?

[Tom Elliott]

@milsondc Fog doesn’t send email period.
