Hi, @kacf
Will there be support for styhead in master-next for Mender?
I see many recipes breaking due to WOKRDIR change transition guide/notes , including licensing checksum checks.

Thanks,
Vikas

Hi @jainvikas8,

There might or might not be a master branch which builds on styhead, it comes down to a) contributions that make it work, and b) me finding time to set it up and run test builds.

From a product perspective, as styhead is not an LTS release, there will not be an officially supported version or branch for it.

Thanks for the reply.

If there are contributions for styhead or future non-LTS releases, should that be raised against master-next ?

@jainvikas8 yes please. I think master-next is currently not updated, I’ll try to get that done and ping you then, okay?

Thanks.

Just a generic question, how frequently the master is synced with master-next? Does this only happen every LTS release or non-LTS release or master-next is stable enough?

I see, master-next has not been updated for quite a while.

Any update on this, please? Should we use master instead of master-next temporarily?

Hi @jainvikas8,

Just a few days after your last post I started working on it, and actually we have hit a somewhat ugly bug during the process. Hopefully we can fix and push it soon, but I don’t have a timeline yet, really sorry about that.

Greetz,
Josef
