@kuerious Hello again and glad you got your install sorted.

I can have a go at that one.

First off thanks for showing an interest in financially supporting Rockstor’s development via a stable channel subscription.

I’ve recently been made aware that we have a technical / resources issue with our last proposed stable channel release. I’m in the process of extending my roles within Rockstor so that I might chip in to try and resolve this. Please be patient while I get up to speed and hopefully resolve this issue.

Any update to this situation should be seen first in the forum thread opened for this issue:

This is obviously an important issue and my current focus is on resolving it.

In the mean time, as you may already be aware from reading the forum, out testing release has not had an update for some time (so that our limited resources can provide a greater ‘value add’ to our stable channel subscribers/supporters); but it’s last release represents what would have been our next stable release and consequent iso release. But as per:

we have a few things in ‘transit’.

So best bet for now is to subscribe to testing and that way you at least get far newer code than default iso install, but still pretty old in comparison with stable channel updates.

And once we have the stable ‘sold out’ issue resolved, one way or another, you can move to that, but due to a bug when moving from testing to stable a one of ‘yum update’ is required thereafter. From there on you should be good re the Web-UI report of the installed version. This issue has been fixed but is again a chicken and egg scenario. Please see the following issue on this:

and the now merged pull request which has the details:

Hope that helps.
