Build Team 2018 Sprint 23
Description
PM has requested to add ubuntu 18.04 support to 6.0.1.
Here is my proposal:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Introduce 18.04 with 6.0.1 targeted end of January.
|
|
|
Remove support for 14.04 for 6.0.1. But 14.04 will be supported until April 2019 by support team for releases from 5.x to Couchbase 6.0.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If we have customers who want to use 6.0.1 for bug fixes and if they are on Ubuntu 14.04, we have to ask them to Upgrade to Ubuntu 16.04/ 18.04 as Ubuntu 14.04 is EOL in April. (Feb-April is just 3 months)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Since Ubuntu is very popular, I don’t want to remove it completely before end of life.
|
|
|
Ubuntu 18.04 needs to be added to our supported platforms as soon as possible for the same reasons.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Our cloud solutions on GCP and Azure are also based on Ubuntu 14.04, they need to be upgraded to 16.04/18.04.
|
|
|
|
|
|
P.S. Mongo already supports Ubuntu 18.04 along with Ubuntu 14.04.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please let me know your thoughts.
