稳定分支与 discourse_docker 及插件的兼容性

支持 安装
21

I guess I’m trying to work out what you would use the tags for? If discourse_docker always works with the latest stable, you can always use the master branch of discourse_docker… :thinking:

22

That topic doesn’t cite a specific fix or commit, if it has been resolved it would be good to see something to the affirtmative in that sense. More than happy to nuke the sed fix if so.

23

Sure, I added the github link to @Falco’s post in the other topic. Here is is: FIX: We need a newer mini_racer for ruby 2.6.3 · discourse/discourse@99dd426 · GitHub

24

Well, there is a reason we:

  • don’t default anyone to stable
  • don’t recommend anyone to run stable

We run thousands of instances of Discourse. And since we deploy from tests-passed we have lots of testing on that.

When you actively go away from the standard we suggest, it’s going to be less tested. Even then we issued a whole new release to fix the issue in the same day we got a good report.

25

I would personally agree with the idea of tagging discourse_docker with the same version as the stable release. We currently use Puppet to automate the process of bootstrapping new Docker containers, which we pin to a specific stable release of Docker (we’re in the kind of corporate environment where the idea of running “beta” software is basically a no-go). It’d be nice if I could use that same version number as a tag in the discourse_docker repo and know that the version of the launcher I’m using is going to be able to build the version of Discourse I want to build.

26

Just a note that the people who maintain the software claim that the beta branch is more reliable than stable.

27

Quite, we live in an age where governments practice agile principles and rapidly release software under beta to their citizens.

Here’s an idea, let’s drop the ‘b’ from stable :smiley:

28

I always felt farming or gardening was the best metaphor for actual software development because it is a living thing. You’re growing things and that takes regular upkeep. Get busy growin’ or get busy dyin’

29

So stable stale is the equivalent of a fallow field? :smiley:

30

I get it now, but your “beta” releases being more stable than non-beta is really a confusing mixed message for the rest of the world. I get it, you are developing an in-house product, which you have interest to keep growing and up to date at all times, and you are giving it away for free to everyone, but then it seems there are two choices:

  • Use tests-passed and keep updating it every couple of days, and help you fix all the the bugs and issues
  • Let you host it for us

Surely both scenarios are win-win for Discourse as a company. I can’t blame you for that :slight_smile:

But really, you should then just remove all non-beta tags, unless you want it to be “open source with a catch”.

31

Running Tests-passed and upgrading when there is a beta or a specific problem is what most people do. That’s a couple of three times a year.

If you’re in a corporate environment with uptime/stability expectations, then you should run a staging server.

32

Next time I’ll try to do just that (will use test-passed). It’s much more clear now after you explained it.

33

Yeah, I’m with Tomas.

34

This has been discussed before, but I still support the unpopular opinion of running stable for stability.

Our site has been on the stable branch for about 3 years and 603.000 posts later the experience is mostly (95%) good. The roling branches were way too volatile with UI changes, breakage and other surprises. We are especially careful about introducing change to the UX.

Sure, after every major upgrade we often need to update our slightly customized themes, adapt to other changes and usually also report some bugs.

35

刚在升级到 2.3.10（稳定版）后遇到问题，偶然发现了这个话题。
我们网站上使用的一些插件最近被升级以兼容更新版本的 Discourse（例如 discourse-assign）。这次升级似乎产生了负面影响。

我刚将插件安装方式改为引用插件的稳定分支。遗憾的是，并非所有插件都提供稳定分支。这给 Discourse 生态系统带来了额外的不一致性。

我甚至不确定我的更改是否会对 Discourse 安装产生任何积极影响。

是的，请！在 Discourse 本身及其所有插件中定义稳定分支将有助于提升稳定性。但在此之前，必须首先明确定义“稳定性”的概念 :slight_smile:

以下这种做法不可取：
“只需注意，维护该软件的人员声称 beta 分支比 stable 分支更可靠。”

36

哪些插件遇到了问题？

37

至少需要 discourse-assign。
已将以下插件安装更改为使用稳定的插件分支，这可能解决缺少 SVG 图标的问题：
- git clone --branch stable GitHub - discourse/discourse-assign: Plugin for assigning users to a topic · GitHub
- git clone --branch stable GitHub - discourse/discourse-solved: Allow accepted answers on topics · GitHub
- git clone --branch stable GitHub - discourse/discourse-canned-replies: Adds a means to insert templates from the composer. · GitHub

39

这个有一个小更新 - 我认为我们的 official 插件和主题组件现在有一个兼容性文件。 :partying_face: 例如：
