Block Branch 5.3 - Master

[wouam31]

Hi everyone,
Before making a mistake, I'd rather ask.
I want to lock updates to version 5.3 because currently, when I go to the Update menu, I see the Master version.

I was wondering if adding system_branch=5.3 in the /etc/fusionpbx/config.conf file would be enough.

Thanks for your feedback, and have a great day!

I usually use my own fork of FusionPBX and update it in a controlled environment with the master.

The FusionPBX official install script puts you on the 5.3 release branch.
- https://github.com/fusionpbx/fusionpbx-install.sh/blob/master/debian/resources/config.sh

If you update the Source Code from the web interface in Advanced -> Upgrade you will only get bug and security fixes from the release branch you are on. So in your terminology, you are locked to the release branch.

You aren't on the master branch. To get on the master branch right now requires either changing the config.sh file before the installation or use a git command to switch branches. When the next release occurs it will require a command to switch to the new release branch.

Hello everyone, since the installation is already in progress, if I want to stick with version 5.3, I need to run:

git checkout 5.3

And for the next version, I'll do another git checkout.

@markjcrane , do you think it might be possible in the future to select the version via the web interface?

Thanks, everyone!

If you run this command

cd /var/www/fusionpbx
git branch

It will tell you what branch you are on. If it indicates you are on 5.3, you are already on the right branch. If it says 5.2 or master then run the following.

git pull
git checkout 5.3

Hi!
Thanks for the information. I followed the steps, and I am indeed on version 5.3.

tried to perform an update through the web page today.

When I start the update, I get this error:

I’m currently on version 5.3.




Does anyone have any idea?

Thanks, everyone!
