[devinfo] EOL Admin message sme8.2

[Terry Fage]

Hi Guys..

Is there a way, db etc, to turn off the message to admin re eol for sme8

===
=== URGENT NOTICE:
=== As per March 31st 2017, SME Server 8 is obsolete, and potentially
INSECURE.
=== Failure to upgrade may lead to the compromise of this server.
=== NO support will be offered for any issue found with this installed
version.
=== Please migrate IMMEDIATELY to Koozali SME Server 9 or higher version.
=== Visit https://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server:Download
===

I have receive this now weekly, by design I presume..

Thanks

You might even have received it daily ;)

- one way would be to actually upgrade ;)
- one way would be to set a procmail/maildrop rule to put it directly in
garbage, using smeserver-mailsorting and user panel logged as admin
- you can achieve the same in you mail software or in horde
- one way would be to edit /sbin/e-smith/check4updates and comment the
lines for the message

#if [ $DATE -ge "20170331" ]; then
# echo -e "===\n=== URGENT NOTICE:">> $TMPFILE
# echo -e "=== As per March 31st 2017, SME Server 8 is obsolete, and

# echo -e "=== Failure to upgrade may lead to the compromise of this
server.">> $TMPFILE
# echo -e "=== NO support will be offered for any issue found with this

# echo -e "=== Please migrate IMMEDIATELY to Koozali SME Server 9 or
higher version." >> $TMPFILE
# echo -e "=== Visit https://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server:Download
\n===" >> $TMPFILE
#fi

there will still be the server-manager message, which is less annoying.

we indeed are lacking a db property here to stop annoying the admin
(maybe to think for SME9 and after), but at least this time we have less
chance to see admins wondering why their server are not updating 5 years
after their end of life date.

Don't pick on me :-) not a critical system just a small office server

promise :-)

Yes, this is fine, and a good idea, maybe evn when using cli...

I think its a great idea, should be in 9 and 10..a db setting tho would
be useful and smarter me thinks.

Anyway, it is but a small thing, plenty of other things more imp[ortant
just now..


Thanks to all

I meant to reply to all

I assume the easiest way would be to just disable checking for updates in
server manager panel ie set to Disabled rather than Daily or Weekly.
ie under
Configuration
Software Installer
Change software installer settings
Check for updates

There is no point keeping the option enabled as there are no more updates
anyway.

Ray,

this is indeed another and the easiest solution.

Hi Terry

good reminder. I was one of the quiet ones.

We have applied the CentOS 6.9 updates onto 2 x SME9.1 (which both had
all available 9.2 updates installed from smeupdates-testing repo) and
have not seen an issue.

Regards
Michael

I've got it in use in one production environment and one as the affa
backup for it. Apart from the smeserver-wbl / geoip and mailstats
contribs not yet in smecontrib repo, everything is fine. The wbl one is
important to get updated as without it email is rejected (if you've got
the contrib installed).

I can confirm
Using RC in production on a busy server with no issues
IMO we can release the final 9.2

I agree this is annoying. However, it is for good reason. I set up an email filter for the message as we have a schedule set up for (finally) moving the last server to SME 9.

[Matt Holmes]

We have 4 productions servers running 9.2Rc2. 2 of them upgrades from 9.1 and 2 fresh builds for upgrades from 8. Still convincing the rest of the clients to spend the money to upgrade from 8 to 9 :(

 
They are running mail with spam filters (no geoip......), a number of different domains on one machine, nextcloud on another with a number of hand crafted web apps which needed webhosting, scl php and have installed letsencrypt with dehydrate (need to update the wiki on that one)

 
In all running nicely with no issues.

 
I feel if there are no issues found and it is running quietly.

 
Great work to all devs, thank you... Now for 10 ;)
