Jenkins 2.7 vs 2.4

[Filippo]

Hello,

I've installed Jenkins 2.4 on a CentOS server via yum. I would like to try Blue Ocean, that runs only with Jenkins v 2.7.

So I opened the RedHat repository (https://pkg.jenkins.io/redhat/) and noticed that the 2.7 rpm is dated 2016/05/29, while the 2.4 is dated 2017/02/13.

The question is: why is the 2.7 so older than 2.4?

And are the other packages (2.8 and 2.9) also compatible with blue ocean?

Thanks.

Not quite sure where you are seeing that date against 2.4. The results from my view of that list is:

jenkins-2.4-1.1.noarch.rpm 2016/05/15 65.4M

jenkins-2.7-1.1.noarch.rpm 2016/05/29 65.4M

So 2.7 is newer than 2.4. I believe you'll find that Blue Ocean is 2.7+ so you should probably grab the latest version that you feel comfortable with (2.55 is the latest available there)

Richard.

My fault, I though that 2.55 was 2.5.5. Sorry.

Thanks

Hi Filippo,

Great to hear that you are upgrading to use Blue Ocean :)

While Blue Ocean is compatible with 2.7.1 and above I do strongly advise using the latest LTS, 2.46.1, as there have been several nasty security vulnerabilities.

All the best,

James

Hi James,

yes, I'm using the 2.46.1 version.

But I can use Blue Ocean only for browsing activity, because our projects are stored under SVN while Blue Ocean seems to support only GIT projects, so I must switch to "classic UI" every time I have to change some build configuration.

Bye

Filippo

Yes, I suspect that will be a limitation for some time. Sorry :(
