The 2018.10 release has been uploaded to Debian:
https://tracker.debian.org/news/998932/accepted-lava-201810-1-source-all-am…
In due course, that is expected to migrate into buster. 2018.10 might
be the last release to be uploaded to stretch-backports in the Debian
archive because the Debian release process for Buster will be starting
in January.
We have been making a lot of changes to extend and enhance the CI
within the LAVA software upstream processes as part of the move to the
Community Project. This now allows us to support 2018.10 and
subsequent releases to make it easier for labs who don't want to
migrate immediately to the new releases.
2018.10 is also available from the LAVA repositories.
New LAVA repositories
=================
https://master.lavasoftware.org/static/docs/v2/installing_on_debian.html#la…
deb https://apt.lavasoftware.org/release stretch-backports main
deb https://apt.lavasoftware.org/release buster main
The production-repo within Linaro has also been updated at
images.validation.linaro.org - this is the same location as previous
releases.
Snapshots
========
>From 2018.10 onwards, LAVA software will be retaining snapshots of
daily builds of LAVA at https://apt.lavasoftware.org/snapshot/
organised by suite, year, month and date.
Official Docker images
=================
For the first time, LAVA is also releasing official Docker images for
amd64. These are available from lavasoftware.org and from the
lavasoftware organisation on hub.docker.comhttps://master.lavasoftware.org/static/docs/v2/docker-admin.html#administer…

Another step in the LAVA Software Community Project - the lava-users
and lava-announce mailing lists have moved from lists.linaro.org to
lists.lavasoftware.org so that these can be more easily managed within
the LAVA Software Community, outside Linaro.
The configuration is the same but subscribers may need to change their
local filtering rules.
In addition, a new mailing list has been created,
lava-devel(a)lists.lavasoftware.org which is intended for discussions on
design and development issues within LAVA. If you are working on a
merge request for LAVA, this mailing list can be used for a wider
discussion of any issues which don't fit neatly into comments on the
merge request. If you are working on your own device but have not
prepared or created a merge request, please use
lava-users(a)lists.lavasoftware.org as before.
Message headers like List-Id, List-Unsubscribe, List-Archive,
List-Post, List-Help and List-Subscribe simply switch domain from
lists.linaro.org to lists.lavasoftware.org
>From this point onwards, please only send list emails to lists.lavasoftware.orghttps://lists.lavasoftware.org/pipermail/lava-announce/https://lists.lavasoftware.org/pipermail/lava-devel/https://lists.lavasoftware.org/pipermail/lava-users/

(There will be a few more messages than usual on announce this month.
Apologies, but I think it's easier to avoid putting everything into one
enormous message.)
As part of the LAVA Software Community Project, there is a new IRC channel
on Freenode aimed at any discussions around LAVA which do not relate to the
use of LAVA within Linaro. The #linaro-lava channel remains open and will
remain focused on discussions of problems and issues relating to LAVA
instances operated by Linaro and other Linaro-centric topics.
Community members are invited to use the new channel to discuss anyting
related to LAVA but not involving Linaro. Questions about your own
instances, problems with new devices and general LAVA development
questions. The new channel should make it is easier to respond to questions
and discuss issues. The existing IRC guidelines apply, as does the LAVA
Software Community Project Code of Conduct.
In addition, when asking questions on #lavasoftware, please include
information on your LAVA setup - include information on the version of LAVA
you are running and, if the instance is publicly-accessible, include the
URL.
As always, complex questions about device integrations will typically
require information like the device-type template, device dictionary and
test job submission definition - you are much better to ask those questions
by subscribing to and posting to the lava-users mailing list.

As part of the move to the LAVA Software Community Project, we will be
moving the hosting of the lava-users and lava-announce mailing lists to the
new server in two weeks - the 16th October.
This will involve changing the URLs of the lists to:
lava-users(a)lists.lavasoftware.org
lava-announce(a)lists.lavasoftware.org
A new list will also appear: lava-devel(a)lists.linaro.org which will support
development of LAVA within the Community Project. Development discussions
relating specifically to Linaro LAVA infrastructure and devices can remain
on linaro-dev(a)lists.linaro.org
If, for any reason, you do not wish to be on the new list, feel free to
unsubscribe between now and the 16th October 2018. All subscribers and
configuration will be migrated to the new location using the configuration
of the lists at lists.linaro.org on that date.
If you decide to stay on the list(s), any filters will need to be updated
on or after the 16th October.
On the day of the migration, there may be a short time when it will not be
possible to post to the current lists. There will be an email from
lava-announce(a)lists.lavasoftware.org when the migration is complete.
