• RE: XCP-ng 8.3 updates announcements and testing

  @gduperrey said in XCP-ng 8.3 updates announcements and testing:

  Since it doesn't indicate that an updated 8.2 is actually 8.2.1, only the major version is displayed.

  Not a very good example actually (but what's true is that for 8.2 we didn't add a "LTS" mention next to the version number in the system either).

  

  But yes, we decided not to increment the version number for XCP-ng 8.3.0. That breaks compatibility with some third party software because they wouldn't recognize a "8.3.1".

  However we're working on a secondary version identifier that would allow you to know your precise patch level.

  @gb.123 Yes. If you think it's not clear in the blog post, I'll think how I can word it.

  Current wording:

  This announcement does not represent a new release. It applies to the existing XCP-ng 8.3.

  If you're already running XCP-ng 8.3, you're on the LTS version. There's no need for a full upgrade. Standard package updates will keep your system current.

  New update candidates for you to test!

  A new batch of non-urgent updates is ready for user tests before a future collective release.

  • openssh: Fix low priority CVE-2025-26465 DoS attack when VerifyHostKeyDNS is "yes" or "ask" (The Default value has not changed: "no")
  • samba: Fix vulnerabilities which are very unlikely to be exploitable on XCP-ng but are reported by security scanners.
  • xcp-ng-release: This update adds a certificate to resolve a TLS handshake error, particularly when deploying XOA from CLI using curl.

  Test on XCP-ng 8.2

  From an up to date host:

  yum clean metadata --enablerepo=xcp-ng-testing
  yum update --enablerepo=xcp-ng-testing
  reboot
  

  The usual update rules apply: pool coordinator first, etc.

  No specific steps for these updates for XOSTOR users.

  Versions

  • openssh: 7.4p1-23.3.2.xcpng8.2
  • samba: 4.10.16-25.el7_9
  • xcp-ng-release: 8.2.1-16

  What to test

  Normal use and anything else you want to test. The closer to your actual use of XCP-ng, the better.

  Test window before official release of the updates

  None defined, but early feedback is always better than late feedback, which is in turn better than no feedback

  You probably saw it, but just in case: https://xcp-ng.org/blog/2025/06/16/xcp-ng-8-3-is-now-lts/

  Today marks several important updates for XCP-ng 8.3. In a nutshell:

  • It officially becomes a Long-Term Support (LTS) release, as previously announced when it was first released on October 7th, 2024.
  • We are releasing updated installation images ("ISOs") that include installer improvements and all updates published since the original release.
  • XOSTOR, our hyperconverged storage solution powered by LINSTOR, is now officially supported on XCP-ng 8.3.
  • A new, dedicated upgrade ISO is available to support upgrading from an 8.2 pool that includes a XOSTOR storage repository.

  The above issue is solved in packages that we haven't released as an update yet, that @Andrew tested.
