That said, I’ve been running the daily of openhabian for almost a year now (went to it when some zwave devices I owned were added, but weren’t in release) and have very little issue that could be attributed to the build. (Many of my own doing )
Ok, so I switched to release and get the same error…
Edit:
After reviewing what openhab-config did I noted the upgrade faiuled:
The following packages will be DOWNGRADED:
openhab2
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 downgraded, 0 to remove and 99 not upgraded.
E: Packages were downgraded and -y was used without --allow-downgrades.
FAILED (apt)
The system generally works in snapshots right now (but will probably break in the next months multiple times, when persistence services are migrated from OH1->OH2 etc).
But MQTT does not. I have no time to check that out, that’s the full story.
At this point the only option I see is to install a fresh raspbian image of 2.5 release and hopefully restore things, items, etc. That sucks because I’ll need to re-install influx, graphana, and probably a hundred other things I’ve forgotten.
Such a question from a person who is using a snapshot version!
I’m using the MQTT binding of the latest stable release (2.4), although it is reported to have problems (restart of openhab needed when changing MQTT Setup files,…) it is working stable for me (using only “Generic MQTT Devices”)!
Additionally, if one is not satisfied with those problems, the old MQTT 1 binding is still available!
sorry whats wrong with my question?? I just wanted to understand why it is in release… because it sounds like the author knows that its not working…
edit: btw I used the snapshot releases for over two years without major problems. And I use mosquitto not the internal broker… that was working fine until now.
There haven’t been that much changes in the code since the change to openHAB2 as we see today and that all with less people contributing. When using a snapshot you have to expect such problems, however you seem to understand a snapshot as a regular release!
Snapshot is a direct build from the master repository. In java slang snapshot is as hot as it gets.
And no, I did not know that the migration would cause problems. But I also have no time to fix them atm. But I also don’t need to. I’m not paid for this. And there is no imminent release in sight.
