[Bug 16349] New: Indicate what branches of Koha are supported
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=16349 Bug ID: 16349 Summary: Indicate what branches of Koha are supported Change sponsored?: --- Product: Project Infrastructure Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Project website Assignee: wizzyrea@gmail.com Reporter: mirko@abunchofthings.net There seems to be no overview on the website regarding actively maintained branches of Koha. While it is obvious to developers, it isn't to users, and they don't necessarily check the wiki for "roles for xx", which seems to be the only place where you can get that information. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=16349 --- Comment #2 from Mirko Tietgen <mirko@abunchofthings.net> --- Places that would make sense (I think) are 1. the main page, maybe under the "try it now" button, something like Introducing Koha 3.22 [Try it now] Currently supported branches: 3.22 (stable), latest version 3.22.x 3.20 (oldstable), latest version 3.20.x 3.18, latest version 3.18.x I don't know if we could automatically get the latest version from somewhere, because you probably don't want to change that manually every month, but it would be nice to display it. or 2. the download page, under "Get Koha", instead of the link to the wiki that does not really explain anything related to currently supported versions. What do you think? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Needs signoff only because I'd like you to look at what I've done before marking it finished - this bug doesn't need the full QA treatment as it is for the website.

OK forbidden patterns OK git manipulation OK pod FAIL pod coverage POD is missing for 'current_versions' OK spelling OK valid 2) Also some wrong capitalization: Currently Supported Versions 3) In my master installation it only lists 19.05 and 18.11 - so only the ones we maintain packages for. But actually, we also maintain 18.05. Should we not list this as well? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Does that cover this perhaps, or should we make it more pronounced somewhere? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.

I don't see a reason to scrape externally for it and add load to the website.

I think having a list of supported versions could still be nice, we could also use it to display an update recommendation for people running 'end of life' versions.
I really like the idea of this.. though it could cause some vendors challenges when it becomes clear to users that their version is end of life in the eye's of the community. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
