thoughtworks gocd UPGRADE

Affected: >= 19.4.0 and < 24.1.0

Fixed in: 24.1.0

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 19.4.0

1. Check installed version

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

2. UPGRADE to 24.1.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

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

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade gocd

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 19.4.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison gocd sudo apt install gocd=<VERSION_BEFORE_19.4.0> sudo apt-mark hold gocd

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

dnf --showduplicates list gocd sudo dnf downgrade gocd-<VERSION_BEFORE_19.4.0> sudo dnf versionlock add gocd

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.
