Status: Beta

SME Server Version 8 will be the next major version of SME Server, and will involve upgrading the base to CentOS 5. We are just in the early stages of development, but so far things look good.

See the Release Announcement for Beta1 http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=39499.0 

http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/smeserver/releases/testing/8.0/iso/i386/ - 8.0 beta1 (based on CentOS 5.1)

Please, please any issues report to our bug tracker under the SME Server 8 section.
(especially with SME Server 8.0beta1 as this is an early beta release) 

Notes:
 - Also no contribs will be released for 8.0 until we get to the RC status.

Setting up your SME Server 8 repository

Setup with the following yum repositories... 

/sbin/e-smith/db yum_repositories set sme8os repository \
Name 'SME Server 8 - smeos' \
BaseURL 'http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/smeserver/releases/testing/8/smeos/i386/' \
EnableGroups yes \
GPGCheck no \

status enabled

Expand your yum.conf... 

expand-template /etc/yum.conf
SME Server 7.3

You are adviced to only upgrade clean machines, e.g. without contribs or other modifications.

  2. Once completed issue signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
SME Server 7.0, 7.1.x or 7.2

If you are trying to upgrade from a 7.0, 7.1.x or 7.2 server upgrading yum will fail with the following error: 

--> Running transaction check
--> Processing Dependency: libstartup-notification-1.so.0 for package: libwnck

You can solve this using the following steps:

  2. Manually install the package as below: rpm -Uvh --oldpackage yum-metadata-parser-1.0-8.el4.centos.i386.rpm
  3. Then type from command line: yum clean all
  4. After that you should be able to upgrade with the following command: yum upgrade --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=smeos
  5. Once completed issue signal-event post-upgrade;signal-event reboot

Problems and bugs
