Hi, Just to keep the ball rolling, we prepared the upgrade to move from Gerrit 2.16.7 to 2.16.9. I don't expect any real changes, but it's a good exercise for us to stay up to date and see if the scripting of the upgrade works. The only real challenge was upgrading Bazel, since every Gerrit version seems to only compile with one exact Bazel version (roughly).
So far it seems to work nicely for me, running the script which stops gerrit, pushes the new release and restarts it takes around two minutes, so there won't be any significant downtime this time around. Assuming there are no big concerns I'll just do the upgrade tomorrow, on the test instance it works without problems. On a related note, now that things are generally working with the new Gerrit, I was wondering if we want to consider plugins. There is one to add reviewers based on git blame https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/admin/repos/plugins/reviewers-by-blame and I'll give Gravatar a spin: https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/admin/repos/plugins/avatars-gravatar We should also consider the various webhooks plugins. Comments appreciated. Cheers, Frederik _______________________________________________ Development mailing list [email protected] https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/development
