Ubuntu 24

[Robert Richardson]

Hi all,

We have been running QATrack for some years now and are currently hosting on a old fat client with Ubuntu 20.  Out IT team are insisting we move over to a VM with ubuntu 24, we've attempted the installation (including reducing python from 3.12 to 3.9) but the installation isn't working (mainly issues with requirements.txt).  Has anyone successfully deployed on 24 or is it a non-compatible OS?  Juist before I re-image the VM and try again and advice appreciated.

Thanks,

Rob

Hi Rob,

as far as I remember the latest ubuntu version that was compatible with QAtrack was 22.04. LTS. At least that is what I am running. There was/is a branch from QATrack+ called python3.10 that changed I think only one package in the requirements to make QATrack work with python3.10.

As you might have read here in the list Cody is preparing a new release that is compatible with python3.12 which is almost finished it seems. It might be the best idea to wait some more and move directly to QATrack 4.

The main problem with older python version in ubuntu is that you have to compile mod-wsgi for the python version in use which is probably quite time consuming.

Thanks Thomas,

Sounds like a sensible course of action to hold of atm, hopefully out IT team will be okay with a delay in moving over to 24.

Robert, 

How adventurous are you feeling? If you have access to your 24 VM would you be open to trying 4.0? Right now our we're missing upgrade documentation. If you look at the Dev-SCA branch and the Developer install instructions give it a shot with your production data. All notes are appreciated
