When trying to update or refresh through the System Shell, I get the following error

Troubleshooting steps

I’ve only tried removing the repo and switching from stable updates to testing updates, and then back again. Same error occurs

Also censored applianceID as I’m not really sure if that’s even sensitive or not

@QuiveryNut Welcome to the Rockstor community forum.
Re:

Repository ‘Rockstor-Stable’ is invalid.

This one is easy. We have not yet released a Stable rpm (repository) for Leap 15.4, but we are getting there. As of this post we are on our Release Candidate 3 (RC3) in the testing channel, which is also included in our most recent downloadable installers:

V4.5+ Testing Channel Changelog

4.5.6-0 Released in Testing Channel updates on 25th January 2023. Our third Stable Release Candidate I’ll keep this release announcement short as I know there are folks in need of these fixes: So 4.5.5-0 (RC2) had the disappointing but deep failure on config-upload. Bit of a show-stopper that one; but no matter as it’s fixed now in this next release. Thanks to the rapid and rabid work of our intrepid forum admin @Flox and newly active forum member @aremiaskfa. Thanks to you both for jumping on…

And the repo will just be skipped as a result, at least untill it actualy exists, as indicated by the:

Skipping repository ‘Rockstor-Stable’ because of the above error.

We have the following GitHub milestone for our next stable release:

First Stable Poetry build Milestone · rockstor/rockstor-core

Hope that helps.

@phillxnet that was a huge help, thank you!

When is this due for release? seems that there hasn’t been a stable release for quite some time now.

Hi @marksie1988,

What a good timing!
@phillxnet actually just created the next release in the cycle (Release 4.6.1-0 · rockstor/rockstor-core · GitHub). You can find some additional details in the related issue: Bump versions to a 4.6.1 base (Stable) - master branch · Issue #2615 · rockstor/rockstor-core · GitHub. In there you will see that this next release is planned to be the next Stable channel release is all goes well after a short stay in the testing channel repository as per our usual policy.
