Question

Hello wave I was wondering if you all might be able to tell me if you know when the `5 4 0` pre release might be done testing and promoted to the latest release Based on the release process that I read and the previous release dates it seemed like Tuesday the 19th might be likely

i m also curious when `5 4 0` will be released when <https osquery slack com archives C08VA3XQU p1657815438551889|this> was posted yesterday i was hoping 5 4 0 would have been released yesterday now i m hoping it might be released today

We generally don t have a formal process for this

seph · Answer

I m curious is this something you can use in beta How does the transition to stable change that for your site

Daniel · Answer

Yeah we can use the beta I was trying to avoid Ansible changes for our server provisioning which I ll want to revert once the release is out Thanks for following up

seph · Answer

Ah that makes sense

seph · Answer

If you don t mind sharing how does ansible normally download the packages

Daniel · Answer

Currently we add the osquery apt repo <http pkg osquery io|pkg osquery io> if it doesn t exist and then use apt to ensure the latest is installed Looking back I should probably be pinning a specific version and testing on a subset of hosts prior to updating

seph · Answer

Ah And we don t even ship betas through the apt repo

seph · Answer

Yes generally speaking you should pin and manage your updates

Daniel · Answer

Yup exactly If you did that would be interesting Not sure if that s possible

Daniel · Answer

For sure Live and learn

seph · Answer

To be honest maintain the apt repo is surprisingly expensive It s a lot of bandwidth

Daniel · Answer

I ll bet

Daniel · Answer

osquery is awesome It would be cool if AWS would offset the cost in some way with some credits or something

Daniel · Answer

Anyway thanks for all the work Really appreciate it I m gonna take off Cheers
