We have an otherwise up to date Centos 7 vm running
Katello/Foreman/"satellite 6". From the about page
I notice that katello is up to 3.1 and 3.0.2 and Foreman is up to 1.12.2
(we have 1.11.4)
Is it worth upgrading regularly enough to get those fixes?
(also, how can I subscribe to this group?)
cheers

You need to understand how software packages are being upgraded. In
Foreman, we do major and minor releases. Usually you want to stay on
particular version as long as possible and only upgrade minor versions
(e.g. 1.11.X). You do this by regular update (yum upgrade).
These updates includes security issues and important regressions. So you
absolutely want these.
We only support two major releases, so when 1.13 comes out in few weeks,
1.11 will become unsupported, so I'd suggest you to upgrade. Follow our
instructions at:
https://theforeman.org/manuals/1.3/index.html#3.6Upgrade
When using katello use:
http://www.katello.org/docs/3.0/upgrade/index.html
to make the upgrade.
Remember to BACKUP your instance before upgrading, I highly recommend to
do this also for minor updates.
It brings interesting question - since Katello now uses
foreman-installer, shall we move the install/upgrade instructions to
theforeman.org? Do we also have upgrade procedure to the first version
which uses the new approach?
