[Gluster-users] [Gluster-devel] release-3.6 end of life
Let me correct what I meant in my previous post a little bit, I know that for different major versions, you need to change PPA: So for 3.7 deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/gluster/glusterfs-3.7/ubuntu trusty main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/gluster/glusterfs-3.7/ubuntu trusty main For 3.6 deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/gluster/glusterfs-3.6/ubuntu trusty main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/gluster/glusterfs-3.6/ubuntu trusty main So changing between major versions works, change repo, then install. My issue is trying to install a particular minor version, or after doing an update to the latest minor version change, i.e. 3.6.5 to 3.6.9, trying to go back to an older release, if there is a problem with the latest. How does one do that in Ubuntu? This shows 3.6.9 is available: https://launchpad.net/~gluster/+archive/ubuntu/glusterfs-3.6/+packages But nothing under 3.6.9 is there, or if it is how do I get those specific ones? Say I need to go back to 3.6.7, I can locate: https://launchpad.net/~gluster/+archive/ubuntu/glusterfs-3.6/+build/8350060 But no packages there.

Launchpad doesn't keep old versions. We (we = gluster community) have no control over that. If you think you're going to want to install an older version then you'll need to save copies while they're available. The GlusterFS Community decided a long time ago that using Launchpad was the preferred way to go. -- Kaleb
