Installation and Upgrade • Re: Maldua's Zimbra 10 FOSS Build system

Do you have a suggestion on standardizing the release no for these FOSS builds so everyone is on the same page and it looks somewhat similar to what NETWORK customers see?
Here is an example:

Code:

% zmcontrol -v% Release 10.0.7_GA_1000.RHEL8_64_20240301161421 RHEL8_64 FOSS edition.

where as my NETWORK version is:

Code:

% zmcontrol -vRelease 9.0.0_GA_3954.RHEL8_64_20200629045300 RHEL8_64 NETWORK edition, Patch 9.0.0_P39.

Maybe it doesn't matter and we use the 3rd digit unless they throw a more complex versioning scheme as they have historically done with their releases.

So, initially for me --build-release-no setting just means setting whatever goes into the zimbra-core package version.

That's something that you can check thanks to: command.

You can check displayVersion function on: /opt/zimbra/bin/zmcontrol ( https://github.com/Zimbra/zm-core-utils ... #L539-L646 ) .

Apparently the patch part comes from the /opt/zimbra/.install_history where it searches for ldap-patch, mta-patch, proxy-patch and patch which I guess are related to zimbra-ldap-patch, zimbra-mta-patch, zimbra-proxy-patch and zimbra-patch packages.

E.g. If the last line on that file it's: 1684730947: CONFIGURED patch 8.8.15_P39 that gets reused for the Patch 8.8.15_P39 last bit of the version.

Building specifically the different *-patch packages is something I have not explored yet.

It's like those were part of ZCS 8.8.15 OSE because you could install them there.
However there is nothing neither in the zm-build repo nor in the Zimbra repos about how to build those patches/packages from scratch.
So either zimbra-patch (and the many other *-patch packages) was an special NE package that you could somehow install on the ZCS 8.8.15 OSE version or it's an OSE package which it's lacking its own source code and, as a consequence, we should complain Zimbra about it.

There is also: https://github.com/INTALIO/zimbra9FOSSPatches but unfortunately they lack their own source code.
