vmware spring cloud data flow UPGRADE

Affected: >= 2.11.0 and < 2.11.4

Fixed in: 2.11.4

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 2.11.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy spring-cloud-data-flow || rpm -q spring-cloud-data-flow || spring-cloud-data-flow --version

2. UPGRADE to 2.11.4 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade spring-cloud-data-flow

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade spring-cloud-data-flow

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 2.11.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison spring-cloud-data-flow sudo apt install spring-cloud-data-flow=<VERSION_BEFORE_2.11.0> sudo apt-mark hold spring-cloud-data-flow

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

dnf --showduplicates list spring-cloud-data-flow sudo dnf downgrade spring-cloud-data-flow-<VERSION_BEFORE_2.11.0> sudo dnf versionlock add spring-cloud-data-flow

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.
