Hi all,

We're at the last stages of preparing the first major owncloud update in a while.

The current version of owncloud in Fedora is the fairly old stable 8.0 release (presently 8.0.10) which we want to bring back in line with the current owncloud upstream release of 8.2.2.

Unfortunately it's not possible to migrate directly from 8.0.x to 8.2.x as upstream only supports jumping in increments with no skipping of major releases.

In order for a smooth transition to 8.2.x (and after that 9.0.x when it's released) we'll be releasing 8.1.5 to F23 and F22 within the next couple of weeks.

We plan to leave this in updates-testing for a slightly longer period than usual to allow for a wider test base for a major version jump. Please remember your backups prior to the upgrade!

Once 8.1.5 is pushed to updates 8.2.2 will be pushed to updates-testing for a similar extended period. It's imperative that the 8.1.5 update is applied before the 8.2.2 update is pushed to updates.

If you want to assist in the testing and provide feedback or bug reports please use the usual channels of bodhi and bugzilla - both easily accessible from pkgdb:

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/rpms/owncloud/

Kind regards,

James

Hi all,

Just a quick reminder about the above.

Owncloud 8.1.5 is in the process of going to the Fedora 23 testing repo at the moment (just waiting the push).

Fedora 22 will get a similar updates-testing in the next few days.

In a week or two these will be pushed stable and 8.2.2 will enter updates-testing.

If you're able to provide help in testing (remember backups!) it would be appreciated.
