gogs gogs UPGRADE

Affected: >= 0.6.5 and <= 0.12.10

Fixed in: newer than 0.12.10

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 0.6.5

1. Check installed version

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

2. UPGRADE to newer than 0.12.10 (Debian / Ubuntu)

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

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade gogs

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 0.6.5 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison gogs sudo apt install gogs=<VERSION_BEFORE_0.6.5> sudo apt-mark hold gogs

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

dnf --showduplicates list gogs sudo dnf downgrade gogs-<VERSION_BEFORE_0.6.5> sudo dnf versionlock add gogs

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.
