The 2018.10 release has been uploaded to Debian: https://tracker.debian.org/news/998932/accepted-lava-201810-1-source-all-amd...

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#lav...

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.com
