Re: [Bacula-devel] Beta release 7.9.0

Mon, 29 May 2017 00:03:07 -0700

Hello Wanderlei,

Oops -- big flop.  At least I mentioned that the upgrade was not tested.  All the code is actually there, but I neglected to notice that there was a test for the full database range.  In the code that you posted below, you only need to change the line:

if [ "$DBVERSION" -lt 12 -o "$DBVERSION" -gt 14 ] ; then

to

if [ "$DBVERSION" -lt 12 -o "$DBVERSION" -gt 15 ] ; then

and it all should work.  I did put all the sql statements necessary for the upgrade.

I have made that change plus a few other cosmetic ones and pushed it to the Bacula git repository.  Today I will test an upgrade from 7.4.x to the 7.9.0 (will be 9.0.0) format, and if it works, I will release a new updated beta version.

Concerning the API documentation: yes, it is really not ideal.  I hope to be able to enhance/correct it in the near future, but I doubt it will be done before the official 9.0.0 release.

Thanks for testing this and notifying me of the problem.

Best regards,

Kern

Hello Kern

First of all, thanks for the new Bacula release. It always amazing install new releases.

I have home questions about it:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- So I've tried to upgrade for this new version and I found a problem in update script (as you mentioned above).
In this part of script for update tables:
How I'm already running bacula 7.4.7, the version of Catalog is 15, and the update_table script is verifying version between 12 and 14, should be 12 and 15.

if [ "$DBVERSION" -lt 12 -o "$DBVERSION" -gt 14 ] ; then
    echo " "
    echo "The existing database is version $DBVERSION !!"
    echo "This script can only update an existing version 12-14 version 15."
    echo "Error. Cannot upgrade this database."
    echo " "
    exit 1
fi

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- About the new .api2. The manual is not so clear about it. 
In the option "t" I guess is possible to inform 3 options (1, 2 or 3), but in option "sn" and "Sn" what values are allowed?

api version 2
In Bacula version 9.0 and later, we introduced a new .api version to help external tools to parse various Bacula bconsole output.
The api_opts option can use the following arguments:
C
Clear current options
tn
Use a specific time format (1 ISO format, 2 Unix Timestamp, 3 Default Bacula time format)
sn
Use a specific separator between items (new line by default).
Sn
Use a specific separator between objects (new line by default).
o
Convert all keywords to lowercase and convert all non isalpha characters to _
  .api 2 api_opts=t1s43S35
  .status dir running
==================================
jobid=10
job=AJob
...

Hello,

I am pleased to inform you that I have released the beta source code for Bacula 7.9.0 to the Source Download area of bacula.org. http://www.bacula.org -> Downloads -> Source Download Center.

Please note that the 7.9.0 release is a beta release, and it has not yet been fully tested. For example the database upgrade scripts have not been fully tested and testing with the Windows File daemon has not yet been done. Consequently without careful testing by you we are not yet recommending it for production.

Aside from testing the database upgrade scripts and the Windows compatibility, the most important thing that you can do for the project is to run the nightly regression tests. This will help confirm that it works across various platforms. If there are no serious bugs, we will release it for production in several weeks (mid-June 2017).

By the way, I have been running 7.9.0 in production for several weeks now.

Below, for your convenience, you will find a partial copy of the ReleaseNotes.

Best regards,

Kern

               Release Notes for Bacula 7.9.0

Release Version 7.9.0 pre-release beta

NOTE: version 7.9.0 is a beta test program.  The final release will
be made several weeks following the beta release barring any problems.
The final release will be 9.0.0.

This is either the biggest Bacula release ever made or one of the
biggest ones. Even without the new Aligned Volumes source code, which
is substantial, there are over 78,700 lines of diff output between
Release 7.4.7 and this release of 7.9.0

For the most part the changes were contributed to the Bacula
project by Bacula Systems SA.

Database Update
---------------
This version of Bacula requires a database update.  So either you or the
installation process must apply the update_bacula_tables script.

Compatibility:
--------------
As always, both the Community Director and Storage daemon(s) must be upgraded
at the same time.  Any File daemon running on the same machine as a Director
or Storage daemon must be of the same version.

Older File Daemons should be compatible with the 7.9.0 Director and Storage
daemons.  There should be no need to upgrade older File Daemons.

New features and changes:
Please see the New Features chapter of the manual for documentation on
the new features.  The new features are currently only in the New Features
chapter and have not yet been integrated into the main chapters of the
manual.
