Which version of platforms specified in Platforms.txt are run?

Open socialnicheguru opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

In https://github.com/omega8cc/boa/blob/5.x-head/docs/PLATFORMS.txt, the platforms that are supported are listed.

I can specify the Drupal 10.1 version of Thunder. Which version is actually being used.

It takes effect on every future

Octopus instance upgrade, which means that you will miss all newly added

distributions, if they will not be listed also in this control file.

Does this mean that if I manually install a later version of Thunder for 10.1, that version will be overwritten?

Also where are the platforms written? Is it to ~/o1/platforms? Should no other platforms go into this folder?

ok. so I found it not in the platforms.txt file but in selfupgrade.txt, https://github.com/omega8cc/boa/blob/master/docs/SELFUPGRADE.txt.

Please update platforms.txt to point to the selfuprade.txt to enable the platforms.

You can now launch Aegir upgrade to (re)install platforms listed in the file

~/static/control/platforms.info (see below) by creating empty pid file:

~/static/control/run-upgrade.pid

If I enabled platforms in the platforms.txt file does that mean I can have no other Drupal distributions in ~/o1/static?

Octopus platforms are placed: /data/disk/oX/distro

where X is the octopus number

It will install versions currently listed in the BOA README.txt, which are provided as easy starting points but normally you should follow general guidelines on managing your platforms:
