bytebase bytebase UPGRADE

Affected: >= 0.1.0 and <= 1.0.4

Fixed in: newer than 1.0.4

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 0.1.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy bytebase || rpm -q bytebase || bytebase --version

2. UPGRADE to newer than 1.0.4 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade bytebase

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade bytebase

Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 0.1.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison bytebase sudo apt install bytebase=<VERSION_BEFORE_0.1.0> sudo apt-mark hold bytebase

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list bytebase sudo dnf downgrade bytebase-<VERSION_BEFORE_0.1.0> sudo dnf versionlock add bytebase

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
