V5.0+ Testing Channel Changelog

5.0.15-0

Released in testing channel updates on 19th November 2024

10th Stable Release Candidate (RC10)

As always: special thanks to @Flox co-maintainer, and @Hooverdan forum moderator & all-around core contributor.

  • @cellisten Thanks for a follow-up fix re leading spaces in lsblk values: hopefully we are now back where we were on this front, but with way more maintainable code post the major rework of that whole area that took place in the current testing phase.
  • @simon-77 Thanks for the detailed report re our NFS restoring as read-only. That lead, in turn, to a few improvements in our NFS code, including input validation improvements and a re-vamp of out test coverage which had fallen into disrepair.
  • @Stevek Thanks for your patient testing and reporting re a newer btrfs issue that seems to have thrown our replication. All in we have now, in this release resolved one of the issues found. But a quota one remains without a reliable replication: so I was unable to reproduce in order to prove a fix. I suspect it requires a non-trivial quota arrangement. But irrispective we now have one fixed so the remaining, if it still surfaces, should now be easier to narrow down. Leap 15.6 came with a way newer kernel so we have had to adapt to some of the newer btrfs behaviour there. Bit by bit.

This release has a lot of entries but many are cosmetic in nature, along with additional dependency pinning, ready for the next Stable release. We have also now addressed the confusing and contradictory tables re Rock-on pre & post config summary tables. That one has been hanging around for some time now. As always more improvements to be had but again, more eyes and fingers needed here.

And again: a special testing request goes out to those familiar with our Share replication subsystem. Re the issues generated from @Stevek testing reports.
