26.1.rc1 -> 26.1 rc2 ..... worked

[notspam]

Upgrade from 26.1.rc1 to 26.1.rc2.
Need two upgrade steps and then it was done successful.
A short test shows normal functionality.

Nice, if you can try a reboot since it's currently not forced and hostwatch and dhcp6c will not fully restart into their latest version due to this.


Cheers,

I've also upgraded from RC1 to RC2 and everything works perfectly. I've ported the old rules to the new rules.

I also really like the categories in the new rules. 👌

Cheers  😊

I upgraded as well and it went smoothly. Additionally, the latest version of hostwatch is a massive improvement in terms of disk writes. I can leave it enabled now.

FYI @franco I was not able to see R2. I am on R1 and its telling me I have no update.

***DONE***

For context, after the upgrade to RC1, I removed the ISC-DHCP related plugins, as I have already moved to kea DHCP.

Update: I noticed that the OS-ISC-DHCP-DEVEL plugin automatically keeps getting reinstalled. I remove it from the plugins, restart web-gui and can then see all ISC DHCP services removed. Shortly after the ISC DHCP services are restored and when I check plugins, the OS-ISC-DHCP-DEVEL has been installed.
