Re: [HTCondor-users] HTCondor 8.8.7 Released

[Tim Theisen <tim@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Dimitri,

When we went from 8.4 to 8.6, many users complained that their pool was broken by the upgrade. That is why we made the stable/8.8 repository.

So, all the 8.8.x releases go into this repository. So, you should not have to edit the repository file with every 8.8.x release. So, I don't understand what you want. We could drop in a stable/current symbolic link. However, then you would be susceptible to breaking changes when we go from 8.8 to 9.0. And that is also one of your stated goals.

Let me know if I misunderstood your request.

...Tim

A stable series release contains significant bug fixes.

Is it worth changing rpm repo url to something like

http://research.cs.wisc.edu/htcondor/yum/stable/current/...

so we don't have to edit the repo file every time? -- Obviously with
"current" or "latest" being a symlink and anyone who wants to stay on a
particular release can edit that back to "8.7" or whatever.

I can see not wanting to automatically pull in breaking changes, like
the dots in dag node names snafu, but
a) these should never happen in the stable branch in the first place and
b) we won't know what breaks until it does anyway.
