Missing Centos 6 repositories for 9.X.X

[gmernov]

Hi, as long as i see, there's no repository of the line 9.X.X for Centos 6.X. It would be nice be have such in: https://download.owncloud.org/download/repositories/stable/owncloud/

This is the current list of platforms:

CenOS 7 (CentOS 6: Files only)

according to:

https://owncloud.org/blog/time-to-upgrade-to-owncloud-9-0/

so there should be at least a repo for CentOS 6 containing owncloud-files

[adrianvg]

So what does "CentOS 6: Files only" mean on the above link?
A manual install is required?

That is referring to that note:

The owncloud-files package can be installed alone. It has only one packaging logic: obsolete and replace the 8.x owncloud packages. It requires no PHP, database, Apache webserver or other dependencies. An ownCloud server installed only from the owncloud-files package is not directly runnable, unless you made sure all dependencies are in place by hand.

[adrianvg]

Ok, thanks.
Let's hope the packager packs version 9 for us CentOS 6-users in a nearby future then. 8-)

https://download.owncloud.org/download/repositories/stable/owncloud-files/ shows that the normal CentOS_6 repo has the owncloud-files package.

@jnweiger Honestly, there is something really broken with the communication about such breaking changes (this isn't the first time). :-/

How should a user ever get to this link if this is not clearly communicated?

https://owncloud.org/install/#instructions-server -> Only links to https://download.owncloud.org/download/repositories/stable/owncloud/

https://owncloud.org/changelog -> Only linking to https://download.owncloud.org/download/repositories/9.0/owncloud/ and https://download.owncloud.org/download/repositories/stable/owncloud/

https://doc.owncloud.org/server/9.0/admin_manual/search.html?q=owncloud-files -> No note about "owncloud-files" there

https://owncloud.org/blog/time-to-upgrade-to-owncloud-9-0/ -> Is only talking about a "owncloud-files" package, no note about that extra page with different instructions.

Is there some one we could pull in here to clean-up that mess?

[ghost]

Ok, that needs to be corrected:

https://doc.owncloud.org/server/9.0/admin_manual/search.html?q=owncloud-files -> No note about "owncloud-files" there

This is hidden deep into https://doc.owncloud.org/server/9.0/admin_manual/installation/linux_installation.html

[jnweiger]

Both, owncloud and owncloud-files are in the same repo. We should advertise them togeter in one web-page.

Documenting two links makes it appear as if it were two repos. E.g. users could try to disable one, enable the other and be (again) confused about the result.

Just as a follow-up from owncloud-archive/owncloud.org#910:

There is now only one repos "owncloud": https://download.owncloud.org/download/repositories/stable/owncloud/ containing both, "owncloud" and "owncloud-files" packages.
