Major owncloud updates incoming

[James Hogarth]

Hi all,

We're at the last stages of preparing the first major owncloud update in a
while.

The current version of owncloud in Fedora is the fairly old stable 8.0
release (presently 8.0.10) which we want to bring back in line with the
current owncloud upstream release of 8.2.2.

Unfortunately it's not possible to migrate directly from 8.0.x to 8.2.x as
upstream only supports jumping in increments with no skipping of major
releases.

In order for a smooth transition to 8.2.x (and after that 9.0.x when it's
released) we'll be releasing 8.1.5 to F23 and F22 within the next couple of
weeks.

We plan to leave this in updates-testing for a slightly longer period than
usual to allow for a wider test base for a major version jump. Please
remember your backups prior to the upgrade!

Once 8.1.5 is pushed to updates 8.2.2 will be pushed to updates-testing for
a similar extended period. It's imperative that the 8.1.5 update is applied
before the 8.2.2 update is pushed to updates.

If you want to assist in the testing and provide feedback or bug reports
please use the usual channels of bodhi and bugzilla - both easily
accessible from pkgdb:

Kind regards,

James
