Hey zotonic folks!

Long time no see. Hope you're all doing well.

Guess what, a project I left many years ago (some ~10 years back now, time flies) is still running in production (and they've practically done nothing besides the occasional restart when updating the system) and it's still chugging along. However, the time has come for them to do a major upgrade of the system, and along with that, also Erlang (they've been running on OTP 17 and zotonic 0.10.x) and various libs that the application is using, such as zotonic.

This is where I come back into their picture, as they lack the competence to make this transition.

I've been looking at it for a little while now, and wonder what the current state is for zotonic and the more recent Erlang/OTP versions? As I notice many dependencies seem to be rather dated at this point, and I've had some issues just getting a clean checkout of zotonic 0.85.0 to build, using first OTP 27 as well as OTP 26. Tried to bump a few libs here and there, which helped, but not fully.

Side note, is this the main channel for the zotonic community, still? I did see a gitter chat, but it seems to be vacant..

Cheers,
Andreas

Hi Andreas,

Zotonic 0.x is stuck on OTP 22.3.
Because of rebar, libraries and whatnots.

Zotonic 1.x is for the newer versions.
Need a bit of change for your site to move it over.
Especially when you have made server side code.

Ah, right. I was looking at what version to go to, but it seemed like the 1.x track was stale as it's been a while without further progress while the 0.x have had more recent activity.

I'll try the 1.x route then, thanks Marc!

Hei,

The 0.x was a bit busy because we were backporting (for some old sites) fixes from the 1.x.

All development is done in the master branch.

Cheers,

Marc
