5.0.8-0

Released in testing channel updates on 12th Feburary 2024

3rd Stable Release Candidate (RC3)

Thanks to @Mark93, @Warbucks, @DrHolzer, @Tex1954, @McFaul for some excellent reporting, diagnostic, & confirmation efforts here on the forum with the venerable @Flox & @Hooverdan . We have here a specific fix for an SMB export regression introduced in 5.0.6-0 and persisted in 5.0.7-0 testing channel releases. The fix rolls in a more centralised approach to managing our environmental variables under Poetry; the root cause of the issue indicated: lack of universal access to a required environmental variable associated with our new-in-5.0.6-0 dedicated secrets management.

We also have an unburdening of our prior excessive use of rpm’s %posttrans scriptlet. We had rather over-stretched its intended use I think. Hence the adoption of a new rockstor-build.service to more easily surface issues associated with our build.sh script: in-turn associated with a number of update failures experienced in this and the last testing phases. Future such issues should now be easier to identify and resolve on testing instances. There has also been an improvement in our debug content of the now well appreciated poetry-install.txt file!

For all those involved in the current SMB export investigations: please also note the following ongoing (open) issue:
