plugin manager

[Ashish Yadav]

I just changed my Jenkins from v1.583 to LTS 1.596.1 and am getting a warning on the manage jenkins page.

This version of Jenkins comes with new versions of the following plugins that are currently pinned in the plugin manager. It is recommended to upgrade them to at least the version bundled with Jenkins.

Jenkins SSH Slaves plugin

External Monitor Job Type Plugin

JUnit Plugin

Matrix Project Plugin

I looked at the link below but don’t know what is recommended.

https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Pinned+Plugins

Can you please guide me on what the correct approach is? Should I unpin the plugin and update? Is there any risk or concern in unpinning and updating the plugins? Why/how were the plugins pinned in the first place?

It means that the newer version of jenkins has newer versions of those “build-it” plugins and as long as they are marked a “pinned”, they will not be updated. To update them to the versions in 1.596.1, unpin them and restart Jenkins

This is answered in that link:

 

Why/how were the plugins pinned in the first place?

 

When a bundled plugin is manually updated, Jenkins will mark that plugin as pinned to the particular version.
