Build of new Fog Client

[aruhuno]

Hello!

It’s possible to have a build of new FOG Client ?
I can not build the same by following the instructions of GitHub .

Thanks for your help!

I’m sorry I don’t understand, why do you need to build the fog client application from source code? Is there something missing in the official build?

[aruhuno]

FOG 1.2.0 appears to provide a version of FOGClient that does not work under Windows 10.

@aruhuno It would be recommended that you upgrade to the trunk build (pre release version of 1.3.0) to use the new client. The new client relies on the upgraded version of fog to function properly. https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Upgrade_to_trunk

If you insist on using the new client with 1.2.0 you can download the compiled service from github here: https://github.com/FOGProject/fog-client/releases

@george1421 while you can certainly down and even install it, almost none of it will work. Trunk and the new client were kind of built side by side. Nothing will actually work because it needs the ca and public key to even start communicating to the server, both of which are not created in 1.2.0.

I can’t use unstable release because I’m in a company
Thanks for link, I have trouble with GitHub.

Thank you for that. A release date is already scheduled for the 1.3.0?

[Tom Elliott]

@aruhuno There is no release date scheduled. It will release, when it releases.

I know that’s not a “suitable” answer, but it’s really the only one I can give. I can say, it (hopefully) will be relatively soon.

1.3.0 will be the last of the php versions of fog, and as such, we’re trying to make 1.3.0 VERY stable, so that we have enough time for the next versions of fog to be completed properly.

1.3.0 may not be the (direct) last php version as we will still maintain bug fixes and such (e.g. it’s possible we may release 1.3.1, or 1.3.2) but 1.3 series will be the last of the php versions. FOG 2.0 is to be a full rewrite (again) that will hopefully lead us much more enterprise ready/friendly status.

@Tom-Elliott : thank you for the clarification.

Another answer : Does the update process forces the mysql instalation ? (I prefer MariaDB )

[Tom Elliott]

@aruhuno The install process does try to use mysql, but if mariadb is the one available it will try that as well, automatically even.

I believe it even does this with 1.2.0, though I believe it’s much better on trunk (sorry it’s what I’ve been able to work on).

@Tom-Elliott I’m breaking my install with upgrade process

I’ll try to fix and would do a new installation on a different server
