lava-server 2015.12
===================

Ubuntu Trusty 14.04LTS
----------------------

Support for Ubuntu Trusty 14.04LTS has been frozen upstream.
The master branch and uploads to Debian are no longer
supportable with django1.6 or older.

For Trusty support, see the frozen release at
http://images.validation.linaro.org/trusty-repo/

See the documentation in the lava-server-doc package
which is also available online at:
https://validation.linaro.org/static/docs/installing_on_debian.html#debian-installation

2015.12 includes support for django releases from 1.7 (Jessie)
to 1.9 (Stretch) and LAVA will continue to track for support of
django 1.10.

Debian Jessie
-------------

setuptools behaviour has changed in Debian unstable (and soon, testing).
The 'requires.txt' file is not being created - this does not affect installs
on Debian unstable or testing - however, setuptools in Jessie uses this file
and if lava-server is built in unstable, it will fail to install on Jessie.

Ensure that all builds for Jessie are built using Jessie (chroot or VM) in
the same way that packages are built for jessie-backports. Builds available
from http://images.validation.linaro.org/staging-repo/ and
http://images.validation.linaro.org/production-repo/ are built in a Jessie
environment, so are suitable for Jessie.
