4.0.2-0
Released 14th September 2020
Stable Release Candidate 3
I am somewhat relieved to finally announce our slightly belated RC3 stable channel candidate. This one, unlike 4.0.1-0 has some functional changes / fixes over 4.0.0-0.
But first things first. I would like to thank @rssfed23 for their “all but the code fix” report on our failing public key authentication mechanism and @legion411 for their report on how our current 9000 Web-UI item limit fails with an NIS of 30,000 users. This latter issue may not yet be fixed but I’ve pop in a new limit of 32,000 and we can see how we go.
- [NG] - Authorized_keys doesn’t allow public key ssh login. Fixes #2212 @phillxnet
- 9000 user limit within NIS breaks Web-UI for larger user sets. Fixes #2211 @phillxnet
And as always I would like to thank the intrepid @Flox for their behind the scenes and here on the forum efforts. I’m afraid I was as yet unable to review another sizeable and exciting Rock-on/docker networking enhancement that @Flox has also submitted recently. I’m hoping to get this change in soon, or possibly once we establish our Stable release proper, we can have a very short testing phase followed by anther Stable release to accommodate this next big thing on the Rock-ons front. But we must, very soon, move to addressing some of our technical debt, and this will inevitably cause release delays and testing channel breakage. But let’s cross that bridge when we get to it.
For now, please test these releases thoroughly.
Leap 15.2 variant only - but x86_64 & Arm64
Please note: There are, and will likely only be, Leap 15.2 based variants from now on. Leap 15.1 is end of life in 2 month time and we need to focus our efforts; development, testing, deployment etc on a single distro, at least until Jump 15.2 is in Beta that is.
New Build Server note:
Also note that these rpms are the first to be build on an entirely rebuild build server built on a clean install of Leap 15.2, it’s predecessor had a 15.1/15.0 Leap heritage but prior to our re-launch we wanted to establish a clean build to ensure we didn’t have any magic configs hiding in the 2 years of config changes that last instance was exposed to. So just a heads up that we really need these rpms proven-as-good as if all is well I would be happy to move them over, as-is, to the Stable channel to finally offer that service in our new ‘Built on openSUSE’ guise.
So again, thanks for all testing reports, past and hopefully future and to our Stable Channel subscribers who make this entire venture possible. Please do consider subscribing to support our efforts as we are now in the final stage of the ‘Built on openSUSE’ Stable channel preparation.
Enjoy …
