Xorcist Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 I was just doing a new install following the directions provided here: https://www.plasticscm.com/plastic-for-linux/index.html and I'm putting in: # PlasticSCM common packages repository deb https://www.plasticscm.com/plasticrepo/plasticscm-common/Ubuntu_16.04/ ./ # PlasticSCM-latest repository deb https://www.plasticscm.com/plasticrepo/plasticscm-latest/Ubuntu_16.04/ ./ but that does not seem to be legit... as running: # PlasticSCM common repository wget https://www.plasticscm.com/plasticrepo/plasticscm-common/Ubuntu_16.04/Release.key -O - | sudo apt-key add - # PlasticSCM-latest repository wget https://www.plasticscm.com/plasticrepo/plasticscm-latest/Ubuntu_16.04/Release.key -O - | sudo apt-key add - does not work... am I supposed to be using 14.04?

mig Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Hi Xorcist, Yes, please use "Ubuntu_14.04" as distro name in the apt-get URIs. Thanks! Miguel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xorcist Posted October 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 That's kinda confusing, I mean I knew about 14.04 because I Installed it on older Ubuntu 14.04 variants before without issue... does anyone know when a proper 16.04 package will be supplied? I know if I put in 14.0.4 some red flags are going to go up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mig Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 Hi Xorcist, As far as we know, no compatibility issues have been detected in Ubuntu 16.04+ using our 14.04 repository. Have you experienced any issues? What do you mean by red flags going up? Regards, Miguel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xorcist Posted October 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 I haven't encountered any issues myself. What I mean by red flags are, other system admins asking why a custom unauthenticated repository specified for Ubuntu 14.04 is being added to the Ubuntu 16.04 package manager on not only our developer machines (which I am in control of), but also one or more servers (which they are in control of). It's just people's perceptions. There may be zero compatibility issues, but someone is inevitably going to ask me about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manu Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Hello @Xorcist we don't create specific Ubuntu 15 or 16 packages because they are, so far, 100% compatibles. If this concern becomes a problem we'll think about somehow change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xorcist Posted November 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 My recommendation would be to either to do away with the platform versioning in the URLs, or if that is not a possibility, simply create additional URLs for the appropriate platform versions and just keep the same code-base. Currently the installation instructions are a bit confusing (since a 16.04 repository doesn't exist, though I am told to append my Ubuntu version number), so maybe this just needs to be updated to clarify that 14.04 is the repo to use for Ubuntu 14.04 or higher (and that full compatibility testing has been performed). That would at least be something I could show system admins to ease any worries. If none of that is possible, I could always try to push the ZIP file installs through, thought that is obviously a bit more work all around.

manu Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 Hi @Xorcist, thank you, we'll keep that in mind and I'll share this with the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
