Updater tries to skip major versions (8.0)

[varesa]

I was running a 8.0.4 instance and got a nice notification to upgrade to 8.2. I tried running the wizard but it failed since 8.0 -> 8.2 is an invalid upgrade path.

I'm not sure if this is fixed in a later version but the updater should not try to skip major versions.

Nothing what can be done on updater app side. See owncloud/appstore-issues#4

@RealRancor: Why is there nothing that can be done on the updater app? I would say it is certainly a bug in the updater if it propses an operation which will inevitably fail. #4 has been open for a long time now, so maybe it is simpler to do a check in the updater app.

No. Supporting this means storing a list of all owncloud packages already released somewhere.
That's why owncloud/appstore-issues#4 was opened more than a year ago.
Feed should not propose a package that is not suitable for update (imho).

from owncloud/core#22129 (comment) describes this quite good.

I agree, the feed should not propose incompatible versions. So, until that happens, let's just call self_destroy() in our update routine ;-)

New update server is waiting to be merged. (in another repo). It will deliver compatible versions only.

I came to updater-specific solution not long time ago but it is not straightaway so I'm happy that the issue will be resolved on a proper side.
