Hey Remi,

 

yes, I do, and “apt-cache policy” successfully reports the new available packages. Their version numbers have not changed, though. I assume that is the reason they are not upgraded. I have to remove and re-install them to get the buster versions.

 

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

Is there a guide on how to upgrade an existing LAVA instance from stretch to buster?

Seems like the LAVA packages are still on their stretch-versions after the Debian upgrade.

Hey Remi,

 

I would love to update to buster. The current LAVA docs say stretch is the recommended release, though:

 

https://master.lavasoftware.org/static/docs/v2/installing_on_debian.html#stretch-users

 

If you recommend updating to buster, this section should reflect this. For me personally, January 2020 would be okay.

Betreff: [Lava-users] RFC: when to drop stretch support?

 

Hello everyone,

 

Summary:

We would like to drop the support for stretch in the (near) future.

 

Details:

Currently lava-server and lava-dispatcher are supported on both debian stretch and debian buster.

 

Since LAVA 2019.11, the lava-server and lava-dispatcher docker images are based on debian buster and not stretch.

Unittest are still running on stretch, buster and bullseye but integration tests (lavafed and meta-lava mainly) are using the docker container so they run only on buster.

 

Dropping the support for stretch will:

* simplify testing

* allow to use more recent version of python and django

* remove some issues with old dependencies in stretch

 

But before dropping the support we need to ensure that users/admins had some time to migrate to buster or to docker-based installations.

 

In an ideal world, I would drop the support for stretch on the 1st of January 2020. But please answer to this mail so we can device of the right date all together.

 

 

Thanks
