- <title>Maintainer information</title>
-
- <para>
- As stated in the previous paragraph, we must provide a clean upgrade-path for Garage
- since it cannot move more than one major version forward on a single upgrade. This chapter
- adds some notes how Garage updates should be rolled out in the future.
-
- This is inspired from how Nextcloud does it.
- </para>
-
- <para>
- While patch-level updates are no problem and can be done directly in the
- package-expression (and should be backported to supported stable branches after that),
- major-releases should be added in a new attribute (e.g. Garage <literal>v0.8.0</literal>
- should be available in <literal>nixpkgs</literal> as <literal>pkgs.garage_0_8_0</literal>).
- To provide simple upgrade paths it's generally useful to backport those as well to stable
- branches. As long as the package-default isn't altered, this won't break existing setups.
- After that, the versioning-warning in the <literal>garage</literal>-module should be
- updated to make sure that the
- <link linkend="opt-services.garage.package">package</link>-option selects the latest version
- on fresh setups.
- </para>
-
- <para>
- If major-releases will be abandoned by upstream, we should check first if those are needed
- in NixOS for a safe upgrade-path before removing those. In that case we shold keep those
- packages, but mark them as insecure in an expression like this (in
- <literal>&lt;nixpkgs/pkgs/tools/filesystem/garage/default.nix&gt;</literal>):
-<programlisting>/* ... */
-{
- garage_0_7_3 = generic {
- version = "0.7.3";
- sha256 = "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000";
- eol = true;
- };
-}</programlisting>
- </para>
-
- <para>
- Ideally we should make sure that it's possible to jump two NixOS versions forward:
- i.e. the warnings and the logic in the module should guard a user to upgrade from a
- Garage on e.g. 22.11 to a Garage on 23.11.
