Hi is it possible to downgrade from rc7 to stable 6.3.5?

Or is it not doable?

Go to Tools -> Update OS and select "Stable", this allows you to install the latest stable release.

 

Afaik if you copy the bz files from /previous on the flash drive and reboot you'll go back to where you were before.

If your previous isn't 6.3.5, download it from LT and copy the BZ files over

Starting from unRAID 6.4rc7 the ability is added to select between "stable" and "next" branches. This allows easy installation from the GUI for either version.

Although this does bring up a scenario where somebody is running rc6 with no issues and then upgrades to rc7a to find they do have problems how they can downgrade to the previous rc version rather than going back to stable.,

Downgrading from rc7 to rc6 requires the "normal" procedure of copying back the folder /previous to the root and restart the server.

Is it worth seeing if that could be incorporated into the webui?  @DZMM had this issue recently iirc

Unless you were on rc7a and installed 7 and now need to go back to 6

The lifespan of rc7 was only a few hours, I suppose most people upgraded from rc6 to rc7a. Only those "impatient and never can wait" guys have this issue, but don't worry rc8 is coming

I know.  I was pissed.  It was the first release that I've never had installed since using unRaid...

But sometimes it pays off to wait and upgrade a little later, I remember the reiserFS bug and was happy I didn't upgrade at the time.

I didn't even notice the RC7 release, I thought we went straight to 7a....

Not anymore.  I've learned that it looks better to simply go to sleep and release a new dated version the next day.

 

But most of those "a"s are because of the necessity to support 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4, and its always 6.3/6.2 that requires the fixes.

A .plg file always refers to the latest available release and it would require a rewrite of the plugin system to make a selection of individual versions possible. Personally I don't see that happening. As you know rc releases are installed at your own risk

I wasn't thinking of a complete rewrite, more a button to rename /previous and restore the previous install.

Interesting thought. Can you make that a feature request so it won't get lost?

Or should we wait for rc8a?

The previous folder 'failed' for me, because I did a double update  - update unraid version and then update dvb version, so I didn't have rc6 in the previous folder.  

 

Fromnow on, I'll manually update just the dvb version when it comes out so I can use the previous folder if something goes wrong.

Once you're on the RC path, any further updates can be done solely with the DVB plugin.  I force users to upgrade to RC first due to the changes in how the bz files are constructed.

Hey guys,

 

do I run into problems going from 6.10.0-rc2 to 6.10.0 Stable?

 

Thanks.

No
