SLES 15 SP7

[Ivan]

I see in the documentation Installing — Barman 3.13.1 documentation that it stops at SP5.

But I see it in SLES 15 SP7 repository Index of /pub/repos/zypp/common/suse/sles-15.7-x86_64/

 

My question is. Is the documentation outdated and I can I really use it or I should not use it and the documentation is right?

Any specific reason why you're looking at the documentation for Barman 3.13.1?
That version is about one year old, and the latest Barman version is 3.19.1.

Answering to your question: as you mentioned, Barman 3.13.1 was made available by PGDG in SLES 15 SP7:

$ grep -E '^PRETTY_NAME|^VERSION' /etc/os-release
VERSION="15-SP7"
VERSION_ID="15.7"
PRETTY_NAME="SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP7"

$ sudo zypper search -s 'barman=3.13.1'

S  | Name           | Type    | Version              | Arch   | Repository
---+----------------+---------+----------------------+--------+----------------------------------------------
   | barman         | package | 3.13.1-42PGDG.sles15 | noarch | PostgreSQL common RPMs for SLES 15.7 - x86_64
   | barman-cli     | package | 3.13.1-42PGDG.sles15 | noarch | PostgreSQL common RPMs for SLES 15.7 - x86_64
   | python3-barman | package | 3.13.1-42PGDG.sles15 | noarch | PostgreSQL common RPMs for SLES 15.7 - x86_64

We don't directly control which operating systems get packages built by PGDG.
Given that it's available there, you can install and use it. There isn't anything in Barman itself that prevents the application from working in SLES 15 SP7.

By the way, while reviewing the installation documentation of Barman, we noticed only the SLES section contains a statement about the supported OS version.
We will remove that information in the newer version of the docs, i.e. when releasing the next Barman version.

Best regards,

Israel.
