[MooseFS-Users] IMPORTANT Changes in MooseFS Repository structure

[Piotr R. K. <pio...@mo...>]

Dear MooseFS Users,

we'd like to inform you, that we decided to change our repository structure.
(examples based on Ubuntu 14.04)



deb http://ppa.moosefs.com/stable/apt/ubuntu/trusty trusty main

"stable" in the entry above now points to the latest stable MooseFS from 2.0 branch (at this moment - 2.0.89).
*This behaviour will be kept until end of July 2016*

*Starting from August 1, 2016, "stable" in the entry above will point to the latest stable MooseFS from 3.0 branch (at this moment - 3.0.77)*

"stable" symlink is going to be removed at December 31, 2016 - this method will **NOT** work after this date.



Starting from today, it is also possible to use the following entries, so you can switch your repositories consciously either to MooseFS 2 or MooseFS 3 (***we recommend reconfigure your repos before mentioned end of July 2016***):

deb http://ppa.moosefs.com/moosefs-3/apt/ubuntu/trusty trusty main
--> this entry points to the newest stable MooseFS 3.0.x version (3.0.77 at the time of writing this e-mail)

deb http://ppa.moosefs.com/moosefs-2/apt/ubuntu/trusty trusty main
--> this entry points to the newest stable MooseFS 2.0.x version (2.0.89 at the time of writing this e-mail)



Of course it is still possible to use "version control" in the repository URL, i.e. version number instead of "stable", "moosefs-3" or "moosefs-2":

deb http://ppa.moosefs.com/3.0.77/apt/ubuntu/trusty trusty main

--> the entry above will still work and at the moment we don't plan to change it.



This information will be published on our website soon.

In case of any questions, please don't hesitate to ask! :)


Best regards,
Peter from MooseFS Team
