Install a merged Pull request

Added by Thomas Muller over 6 years ago

Hello Community,

last week I found this great project management software and directly started a proof of concept in our company. Since the very first start I struggled with the terms ‘Responsible’ and ‘Assignee’ since we organize our responsibilities via RACI.
I helped me out by creating user defined fields for R, A, C and I.

Luckily I found out that this issue has been addressed and the pull request is already merged. https://github.com/opf/openproject/pull/6482/files
But the predefined filters do not work that good using this workaround.

Long story short. Is it possible for me to install a version with this merged pull request? Or do I have to wait for the next release?
Could somebody help me on this topic?

I host the community edition on a CentOS server right now.

Thank you very much and kind regards
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

great to hear that the change makes sense. It has bothered us for quite some time and 8.0. was the time to make the change.

it will be difficult to create a patchfile for the current productive version (7.4.) that contains the PR you mentioned for the simple reason that a huge number of changes have been made since 7.4.: There are around 140k additions and removals on over 5000 files according to git diff --stat origin/stable/7 dev.

We’re in the last strides of finishing 8.0.0 for release on our own platform, shortly followed by an official public release. If you can wait until ~mid september, that would be the easiest way :-)

If you can’t wait to try out, you can install dev branches which are powering our own testing and QA environments, but they are bleeding edge and I would strongly recommend against using that in a production environment while we’re still working on the rough edges. In any case, back up your data beforehand because 8.0. contains a large number of migrations, especially from our introduction of a Markdown WYSIWYG editor and removal of Textile.

Best regards,
Oliver

Hi Oliver,

thanks for your quick reply. Sorry, I wasn't able to respond fora few days.
Yes, I monitored the github activities closely and saw all of those changes. I'll wait a few days more for the official release.

Kind regards
Thomas.
