Thanks, Julio and the rest of the team.

Just some feedback from here after upgrading, possibly more useful to other Centos users.

Uyuni minimum upgrade process very smooth, no errors, and everything appears to continue to work okay. Remember to CTRL+F5 the web client to prevent render problems.

What kind of render problems? I remember the UI team added a way to force the refreshing the cache after applying a release, so that should still be working. Maybe you can open an issue for this?

I was a little concerned about this in the release notes

...

- Salt 3000 End of Life

It wasn't sure from the wording whether this meant those clients would continue working with Uyuni with v.3000 or stop entirely. After spending some time ensuring I could convert the 80-odd Centos 7 vms I run under Uyuni to venv-salt-minion, should that be needed, I'm pleased to report for any other users similarly unclear, that these clients appear to be as happy as they were before the Uyuni upgrade. Remote commands work as they did and probably other things.

Should work for the forseable future, but there won't be any fixes if something is broken, so the recommendation is to migrate to the bundle :-)

And in the spirit of sharing, here's my process for converting C7 clients to venv-salt-minion if it is ever needed. (No warrantee implied, may not work for you, etc etc)

# IN UYUNI, Delete the salt key for the machine, or the new client will be blocked from onboarding yum install venv-salt-minion systemctl disable --now salt-minion cp /etc/salt/minion.d/susemanager.conf /etc/venv-salt-minion/minion.d/ (I have a separate step here to copy a micro config to tell the minion not to use /tmp because noexec) systemctl daemon-reload systemctl enable --now venv-salt-minion

https://www.uyuni-project.org/uyuni-docs/en/uyuni/client-configuration/conta... Explains how to do the migration as well. There's a state for this.

VERY IMPORTANT: 2023.03 may require a special procedure if you are not upgrading from 2023.01 Make sure you read the release notes for all the versions between the one you are using now, and 2023.03!

We are happy to announce the availability of Uyuni 2023.03. Most openSUSE mirrors should already have 2023.03, but if you do not see it yet, wait a few hours until your local openSUSE mirror is synced.

At https://www.uyuni-project.org/pages/stable-version.html you will find all the resources you need to start working with Uyuni 2023.03, including the release notes, documentation, requirements and setup instructions.

This is the list of highlights for this release:

- openSUSE Leap Micro 5.3 support as client - SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Micro product migration - New products enabled - Monitoring: Grafana update to 8.5.15 - Syncing optional channels from from the WebUI - Subscription warning notifications will now happen weekly - Documentation: New look and feel - Salt 3000 End of Life - Debian 9 End of Life - 'spacewalk-clone-by-date' has been deprecated

Remember that Uyuni follows a rolling release planning, so the next version will contain bugfixes for this one and any new features. There will be no maintenance of 2023.03.

As always, we hope you will enjoy this new Uyuni version and we invite everyone of you to send us your feedback [1] and of course your patches, if you can contribute.

Happy hacking!
