Endless OS master branch will be replaced by developing EOS 7 soon

Hi,

Endless is developing EOS 7 based on GNOME OS now. EOS master branch will become unstable, even not usable in the near future (and very soon). Well, EOS master branch is designed for bumping tests :slight_smile: Only some Endless engineers use EOS master branch, I guess. After release EOS 7 formally, most users can upgrade to it, except some old system / hardware limitations.

If your Endless OS is on master branch, we welcome you join the bumping EOS 7 test. However, if you prefer a more stable EOS during this transition time, you can switch back to EOS 6 branch.

You can execute command “ostree admin status” to understand your system is on which branch. If it shows using:

  • eos:os/eos/amd64/master, then the system is on EOS master branch.
  • eos:os/eos/amd64/latest3, then the system is on EOS 6 branch.

If the system is on EOS master branch and you want to switch it to EOS 6 branch, you can execute command pkexec ostree admin switch os/eos/amd64/latest3. After it finishes switching, please reboot the system. Then, you can check with command ostree admin status again. It should show using eos:os/eos/amd64/latest3.

Or, you can stop the OSTree update automatically simply.

Is there a ISO available for testing?

Thanks

If you are asking EOS master branch’s ISO image, then no. EOS master branch is only available by switching OSTree branch.
