Installation and Upgrade • Re: Maldua's Zimbra FOSS Builds - Share your feedback

So question for Synacor: Assuming that we are building from tags (and not from develop branches) are we properly updated if we just build 1 hour after the NE new patch announcement?

I would love to know this answer too because you have asked us to build by tags. If you are tagging individual FOSS repositories as you go in preparation for an eventual release patch; it is really important we know when to build because build.pl is pulling from a tag list we provide and will use the highest tag present and continues until it finds something from that list.

As an example: If this is our tag list.And say there are 2 repositories to simplify the example... zm-admin-console and zm-mailbox. Lets say zm-mailbox was tagged 5 days ago at 10.0.8 and zm-admin-console is still tagged at 10.0.7 and you release Network version 10.0.8. We jump on the FOSS builds and pull in both these repositories and declare build 10.0.8 FOSS is available. Now 3 days after the release you update zm-admin-console and tag it at 10.0.8 which includes a critical security patch. That is the problem we are facing because we don't known when to build the FOSS version.

Currently showing the following 10.0.8 tags

Please correct me if I am misunderstanding the issue and the build process given I am still trying to understand how it all works.
