LTS Release Snapshots

[rqui]

Hello,

Whenever I update to an LTS release, I get the "snapshot" version of it. How do I get the official GA version??

What is the difference between the "snapshot" and "non" snapshot?

Thanks.

How are you upgrading, and to which release?

I am using the yum repository to upgrade. I just installed the LTS release: jenkins.noarch 0:1.609.3-1.1

[Daniel Beck]

The RPM at http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/redhat-stable/jenkins-1.609.3-1.1.noarch.rpm contains the same Jenkins 1.609.3 WAR as could be downloaded directly (MD5 530e008b162bfec43f38652bd9aed4ed), so it does not appear to be an infrastructure issue.

Maybe something goes wrong during installation/upgrade? Or you set up Jenkins to use a different war than /usr/lib/jenkins.war by editing the config files?

Hmm...which config file should I check to see if it is using a different war than what is in /usr/lib/jenkins?

[Daniel Beck]

/etc/sysconfig/jenkins or /etc/init.d/jenkins.

[Indra Gunawan (ingunawa)]

Check the Jenkins start-up script installed by the RPM.  It is /etc/init.d/jenkins

Thanks! I checked the /etc/init.d/jenkins script and it points to the default location: /usr/lib/jenkins/jenkins.war

What else could be the issue?

It may not be the expected file. Compare checksums.

Make sure you're actually starting Jenkins from these scripts.

How do I confirm that?

The Jenkins log says which WAR file it's starting from, e.g.:

Actually...I went off of what you said earlier and reinstalled Jenkins.

When I did that, it complained about the repo data so I did a clean metadata, and then reinstalled, and it WORKED!!! I now got the actual 1.609.3 version and NOT the snapshot.

Thank you for your help, Daniel!!!
