Hi all,
Is it somehow possible to "bootstrap" an older quarterly pkgsrc
release from 2021?
I'm running some OmniOSce servers with the pkgsrc-repo
bootstrapped onto it, according to the instructions here:
https://pkgsrc.joyent.com/install-on-illumos/
I know how to do something like that with older 20xxQx-releases
as available here:
https://pkgsrc.joyent.com/packages/SmartOS/bootstrap/
but for some reason, no 2021Qx-tarballs are available there;
2020Q4 is the last one, from then onwards only "trunk"-balls
remain, but these don't give me what I need.
According to these announcements:
https://www.pkgsrc.org/news/2021Q1/
https://www.pkgsrc.org/news/2021Q2/
https://www.pkgsrc.org/news/2021Q3/
there have been quarterly branches released this year, so it's not
that there haven't been any. :-)
The reason I'm asking, is that I haven't been able to upgrade my
Nextcloud 20-install from pkgsrc in time and the current release
is 22 already, but Nextcloud does not allow for skipping a major
version when upgrading.
I've also tried to upgrade from 20 to 21 by using the build-in
update mechanism within Nextcloud, but when I then upgrade to 22
by using pkgin from pkgsrc again, all hell breaks loose and the
only way out that I know of is rolling back (thank Ra for ZFS
snapshots...).
So, if I could only try the upgrade to Nextcloud 21 as released in pkgsrc 2021Q1, and from there further on to the 22 release in "trunk", I might be able to prevent disaster. Or re-deploy and restore the whole thing from a clean install, which .. would be a last resort.
Any hints are really appreciated!
Thank you all.
Regards,
Andries
