Does this change mean we'll need to create a new repo on download.webmin.com ? |
Yeah, check this thread out: |
|
I really don't want to maintain another repo to fix a cosmetic issue. Because users can take a long time to upgrade, anytime we add a new repo we still have to maintain the old one for potentially years.. |

Jamie, but I already described the process. You don't need to support multiple repos, right? Because you do it only once! The installed Webmin version 2.102 will switch any user to the very new repo. All you will need to support is the new repo. You do it this time for all 3 repos. And later then support only the latest (i.e I'd really want to see repos done immaculately! Besides it's easy to do! |
|
Doesn't that mean that users on versions older than 2.102 won't be able to upgrade beyond that release until they fix the repo, unless we maintain new versions in all 3 repos? |
No. And why do you think that you'd need to support all three repos? A repo 1,2 and 3 will get Webmin 2.102 (once). Webmin 2.102, when installed will switch all those old repos to the new one. And in the future, repos 1 and 2 cab be abandoned and only the new repo 3, i.e. |
|
Yes, but only if we can assume that users of repos 1 and 2 will click the button to fix their local repositories. Otherwise they'll be stuck on the old version.. |
Considering that a user cannot dismiss this warning, we could expect with a high probability that Webmin repos will be fixed eventually.. |
|
Let's hold off on this change until we get a new webmin release out .. |
|
Alright, I wouldn't mind .. |
|
Are we moving on with this... ? |
