Upgrading from 23 to 27? (discuss.tchncs.de)

I have a self hosted installation here which is running v23 something, according to version.php. Is there an upgrade path to the latest version?

You should be able to just upgrade, and all necessary migrations will be executed automatically

Well, tried that.

  • latest.tar.bz - upgrade said "php 7.3 is too old, need >=8.0. Can't install"
  • installed php 8.3, tried again - "8.3 is too new, can't install"
  • installed php8.2 with all the frckng dependencies and tried again: "no way to upgrade, do it one by one. Can't install"
  • downloaded v24 tarball. Guess what. Right. "php 8.2 is too new, can't install, fucker"

I was boiling by then. 8.1 had a dependency conflict with 8.2, so I had to remove 8.2 first.

So many reasons to hate PHP.

Running V27 now, after like 5 hours wasted.

In short: I will watch the releases from now on. Lesson learned.
