I've updated a test site base on a prod site (gerrit.wikmedia.org) everything looks good at moment execept from in polygerrits settings try to set status or notifications to watch projects is not working. Not sure if thats ldap specific but it works locally.

Also base urls is working great in polygerrit at the moment :)

The binary packages will be coming in a few days: I am planning to do major upgrades to Docker VMs on:
- OS versions (thanks Paladox :-) )
- plugins

I've pushed a change to allow to cross build any version of plugins for any Gerrit given branch: that would allow to have a stable 2.14 build of all plugins that are currently green on master, if they are still compatible with 2.14 APIs of course.

No more mass stable branching of plugins would be needed (yeah!) and potentially many more plugins could then be a available for 2.14.

Thanks @lucamilanesio :)

It looks like the artifacts are not in maven central, did we forget to publish them?

They were still in the staging repository.  Looks like I closed it but forgot to press "release".

It's done now; they should appear soon.  Sorry for the delay.

I should be done with the first iteration of the Plugin-Manager (see below) to be included in the Gerrit 2.14 / Binary distribution:

A new fresh Gerrit setup will go then through two steps:

Step-1: Out-of-the-box intro page (with links to Gerrit documentation, mailing list and social handles)

Step-2: Install plugins from PluginManager (optional)

Step-3: Open Gerrit UX

This would hopefully alleviate the pain of the first time Gerrit users and will add a more modern Look&Feel (well, it is the old-fashioned Bootstrap CSS, good enough for now) at least to the very first two screens that a new user will see.

Gerrit 2.14 / Binary IS COMING ... thanks for waiting :-)

Luca.

[Luca Milanesio]

A final question / poll: what is the list of plugins that we should include pre-installed on the /plugins directory?

*My preferred list* would be:

1. out-of-the-box

2. plugin-manager

3. hooks

4. download-commands

5. oauth

6. reviewnotes

7. singleusergroup

8. avatar-gravatar

What is *your* list?

Luca.

[Luca Milanesio]

I forgot one very important one:

9. gitiles

[Edwin Kempin]

This looks very exciting. Thank you Luca!

What about the gerrit-support plugin, or is it not ready yet?

The gerrit-support plugin isn't mature enough yet, the REST API are evolving but there is no GUI or CLI.

But I agree could be one candidate, so that people could have it already there when it is needed.

[Matthias Sohn]

nice :-)

I'd add the delete-project and uploadvalidator plugins

[Luca Milanesio]

It is becoming a sort of "Gerrit packaged distribution", like it :-)

Bearing in mind that we shouldn't be "worries" of embedding plugins that are not the "latest and greatest", simply because at the first start the plugin manager will check if there is something new on the CI that is stable ... and then will just propose the upgrade.

Luca.

[lucamilanesio]

Hi James, 

I tried to add the reviewers' plugin but, unfortunately, it did not work out of the box :-(

It requires the editing of the reviewers.config in the project's refs/meta/config, which isn't obvious for most people.

It will still be available as an option in the first plugin manager screen selection, however, it is too much to install it by default without being able to use it 'as-is'.

The others have either a simple configuration UX or are self-explanatory or self-configuring (e.g. Gitiles).

Luca.

[lucamilanesio]

Same story for the OAuth plugin: requires a configuration that isn't "plug&play".

Taking out from the pre-installed plugins as well :-(

Luca.

[lucamilanesio]

Binary packages (Deb / Rpm) of Gerrit version 2.14 are now available. 

Gerrit includes an out-of-the-box experience with the following plugins pre-installed: avatars-gravatar, commit-message-length-validator, delete-project, download-commands, gitiles, hooks, plugin-manager, replication, reviewnotes, singleusergroup, uploadvalidator).

Gerrit native packages include a simplified two-steps wizard to explore Gerrit features and install additional plugins through a new one-click install experience (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzY5dClIUcs).

How to install / upgrade:

If you have already installed Gerrit 2.10 / 2.11 / 2.12 / 2.13 using them, you need to execute:

Binary packages (Deb / Rpm).

(on Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-get update & apt-get install gerrit=2.14-1

(on CentOS / RedHat)

yum clean all && yum install gerrit-2.14-1

(on Fedora)

To install the GerritForge Yum repository, you need to execute only the first time:

rpm -i https://gerritforge.com/gerritforge-repo-1-3.noarch.rpm

and then to install Gerrit:

dnf clean all && dnf install gerrit-2.14-1

Docker Gerrit images are available on DockerHub at:

https://hub.docker.com/u/gerritforge/

To fetch Gerrit with CentOS 7:

docker pull gerritforge/gerrit-centos7:2.14

To fetch Gerrit with Ubuntu 16.04:

docker pull gerritforge/gerrit-ubuntu16.04:2.14

WARNING: Ubuntu 15.04 is not supported because of the OpenJDK 1.8.0 pre-requisite for Gerrit v2.14.

If you have not configured the GerritForge / BinTray repositories yet, the instructions are on:

http://gitenterprise.me/2015/02/27/gerrit-2-10-rpm-and-debian-packages-available/

MacOS Gerrit native installer is available for download at:
