Hi all,
We're at the last stages of preparing the first major owncloud update in a while.
The current version of owncloud in Fedora is the fairly old stable 8.0 release (presently 8.0.10) which we want to bring back in line with the current owncloud upstream release of 8.2.2.
Unfortunately it's not possible to migrate directly from 8.0.x to 8.2.x as upstream only supports jumping in increments with no skipping of major releases.
In order for a smooth transition to 8.2.x (and after that 9.0.x when it's released) we'll be releasing 8.1.5 to F23 and F22 within the next couple of weeks.
We plan to leave this in updates-testing for a slightly longer period than usual to allow for a wider test base for a major version jump. Please remember your backups prior to the upgrade!
Once 8.1.5 is pushed to updates 8.2.2 will be pushed to updates-testing for a similar extended period. It's imperative that the 8.1.5 update is applied before the 8.2.2 update is pushed to updates.
If you want to assist in the testing and provide feedback or bug reports please use the usual channels of bodhi and bugzilla - both easily accessible from pkgdb:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/rpms/owncloud/
Kind regards,
James

Hi all,
Just a quick reminder about the above.
Owncloud 8.1.5 is in the process of going to the Fedora 23 testing repo at the moment (just waiting the push).
Fedora 22 will get a similar updates-testing in the next few days.
In a week or two these will be pushed stable and 8.2.2 will enter updates-testing.
If you're able to provide help in testing (remember backups!) it would be appreciated.

Shouldn't this have been sent to Fedora Test list?

Test is focused on the next Fedora release, and with the alpha round the corner rather busy.
Given this will affect current Fedora 22 and 23 users in the next couple of weeks, and the nature of the updates, it felt prudent to provide a mail to where more than the small base of #fedora-qa exists.

Are these updates going to make it into the epel repo as well?

EPEL7 certainly ... EPEL6 I'm not sure of yet.
Currently the oC in EPEL6 is 7.0 so we'd need to fix any dependency issues there to get to 8.0 first and then carry on up the path similar to how we've done with Fedora.
I'm really not keen on trying to maintain owncloud80, owncloud81, owncloud82 and owncloud90 packages all in tandem - there's just not enough hours in the day for me to cover more than $latest pretty much.
Of course given it's EPEL this will be over an extended period of time with a lot of grace periods between updates to give everyone a chance to move on up.
This also takes a backseat currently to just getting Fedora up to the current version - hopefully shaking out any issues in the process to provide a good experience for the EPEL users.
Note that if we can't get EPEL6 past 8.0 then it'll need to be retired as the last 7.0.x update has been released upstream.... but that's a battle for $future_me
If you'd like to do some early testing on EPEL7 then ifas/Didier has been taking my patches and sources and building them for EL7 on his COPR:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/ifas/owncloud/
YMMV and insert many other disclaimers here along with a reminder about backups ;)
Do remember you cannot just upgrade straight to 8.2 but need to use the 8.1 packages first and ensure your owncloud instance is fully functional and any apps you use are functioning correctly.
Bear in mind that in the 8.1 update the Contacts, Calendar and Documents apps were moved out of core and into the store - so these need enabling with external store access. They also need their own update in oC after enabling, and whilst there are updates pending you can't install a new app.
Owncloud 8.1.5 is now in both Fedora 23 and Fedora 22 updates-testing and will remain so for another week. Assuming that there are no issues reported in bodhi I plan to push these stable one week Wednesday and then to push the 8.2.X packages into rawhide and updates-testing for F24, F23 and F22.
At that time I'll start the EPEL7 process for 8.1.X as well.

Hi Fedora OwnCloud users!
The request to push 8.1.5 to stable in Fedora 22 and Fedora 23 has been carried out.
Please ensure you backup, update and test your instance before the next round of updates.
I'll be pushing 8.2.3 to rawhide, and updates-testing for F24, F23 and F22 once 8.1.5 has been pushed stable.

Hello again!
The 8.2.3 update is in rawhide and updates-testing on the various branches.
If you want to test this please ensure your installation is already tested fully working on the 8.1.5 update as that is a prerequisite to the 8.2 update.
Please ensure you are updated to a working 8.1.5 before this gets pushed to stable in the next 1-2 weeks (depending on how bodhi comments and karma goes).
