# Open Build Service 2.9

instructions or use the OBS Appliance from
http://openbuildservice.org/download/
There is also an install medium with installs OBS on hard disc now.

OBS Appliance users who have setup their LVM can just replace
their appliance image without data loss. The migration will
happen automatically.

Bugfixes:
* Fix deletion of groups with users.
* Fix notification generation with very big payloads.
* Create history element on priority raise of request.
* Fix huge bottleneck in notification emails.
* Fix setting of new attributes to a project or package.
Intentional changes:
====================
* Creating of repositories on branching has changed if repositories of the source refer each other. This gets recreated in new project.
* Project copy is not adding the user anymore.
* Service dispatcher is used by default now.
* The editing of a user's realname, email adress or password is no longer possible if LDAP mode is activated.
* Unused ldap options in options.yml were dropped:
- ldap_update_support
- ldap_object_class
- ldap_entry_base
- ldap_sn_attr_required
* Extended build number scheme is enforced for maintenance updates via new project link
attribute extendvrev now
* Dropping of the project/package tag functionality/api
* Password hashing algorithm was changed to bcrypt (blowfish).
* The backend notification plugin system is not used anymore:
- The RabbitMQ plugin is replaced with a RabbitMQ message bus implementation in the frontend, you can find details about this in the admin manual.
- The Hermes plugin is dropped without replacement as it was only used for notifications which the OBS is doing on it's own since quite some time.
* _multibuild files have a changed syntax, but OBS stays backward compatible. Use <flavor> instead of <package> elements in the future.
* publish hook failures are handled as fatal failures now.
=> publisher will retry to publish
Other changes
=============
* Binaries page now points to the download, cloud upload and details page using links.
Notes for systems using systemd:
================================
OBS is using init scripts, not systemd style .service files. This will stay until
we will switch from SLES 11 to SLES 12 as default production platform.
openSUSE installations may use systemd (instead of sysvinit) and it should work
in general. Not working are usages like:
# rcobssrcserver status
You will only get the systemd status here.
Also stopping services may not kill all processes, which leads to abstract errors
when trying to restart them. We heard also about trashed MySQL databases when using
systemd.
To avoid these problems you need switch directory to avoid the systemd mapper:
# cd /etc/init.d
# ./obssrcserver status|stop|start
