hcltechsw hcl devops deploy UPGRADE

Affected: >= 8.0.0.0 and < 8.0.1.14 · >= 8.1.0.0 and < 8.1.2.7 · >= 8.2.0.0 and < 8.2.2.0

Fixed in: 8.0.1.14, 8.1.2.7, 8.2.2.0

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 8.0.0.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy hcl-devops-deploy || rpm -q hcl-devops-deploy || hcl-devops-deploy --version

2. UPGRADE to 8.0.1.14 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade hcl-devops-deploy

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade hcl-devops-deploy

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 8.0.0.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison hcl-devops-deploy sudo apt install hcl-devops-deploy=<VERSION_BEFORE_8.0.0.0> sudo apt-mark hold hcl-devops-deploy

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

dnf --showduplicates list hcl-devops-deploy sudo dnf downgrade hcl-devops-deploy-<VERSION_BEFORE_8.0.0.0> sudo dnf versionlock add hcl-devops-deploy

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.
