Hello. As a followup to a previous question of mine here, I need to look up if or when the change in question has been made available through openhab, or when I can update openhab to reflect this change.
My current detective steps (and I’m not used to reading through the git commit system):
A proposed code change will be published as a PR (pull request) . Although automatic code checks are performed on the related PR, it has not been accepted and therefore isn’t merged yet.
If such a PR is merged you could get the changed version by updating go the latest snapshot version.
That would work if you wait for a new stable release ( 2.5 is scheduled to come in this december).
If you are on an openhabian installation the change from a stable release to a milestone or snapshot version is possible via the sudo openhabian-config menu.
Yes. Still, the initial question remains open: How can I inspect if a commit will be available in a snapshot for my specific installation?
Or alternatively:
How can I manually checkout a commit and use it?
This is the Alexa skill repository which is not the same than a usual addon/binding. So the only way to get the latest version would be to deploy your own private skill.
If you are using the official skill, then unfortunately, you will have to wait for this feature to be merged and then released to the live skill.
I’m not going to deploy my own skill and I am well aware I have to wait until it is released. However, I don’t want to wait unnecessarily long, so I want to know how to detect when it has been released to the live skill and how to update that skill then.
You can subscribe to the GitHub issue you mentioned, so you will be notified when the change is merged and the issue closed. You can also watch this forum topic as we will be announcing when new major features are available in the live skill.
