Can we get a new release

[Oxymoron290]

It's been two years since the last release located at https://github.com/kimchi-project/kimchi/releases

Can we get a new one? Some dependencies have changed since 2.5.0

Edit: For anyone who stumbles across this issue, here is more reading material - #1265 & #1207

I am working on this. As we switched to python3 I need to validate it for Ubuntu, Fedora and OpenSUSE.

[Oxymoron290]

Do you have an ETA or list of tasks I can help with?

[alinefm]

I am current testing the latest python3 changes on Fedora 30 and openSUSE will be the next one. If you want to help, you can start testing on latest openSUSE LEAP version

I know this is off topic but hearing Kimchi is getting a new release is probably the best thing I have heard in probably months RE: projects I follow.

I love Kimchi as a management interface for my home test lab- I wish I knew python better so I could help.

[alinefm]

I am looking forward for the next release too and doing all I can to make it as soon as possible.

Thanks for the update, I know all to well how much work goes into this. FYI our project, AllStar Link https://allstarlink.org uses this to manage our VMs and provides connectivity for about 3500 active nodes on a given day.

Wow! I am glad to know about it. Hope we are doing a good job together (Kimchi and AllStart Link) ;-)

Just an update, it is taking longer than I expected due to some personal matters but I am working on it when time permits.

@alinefm do you need help? I'm happy to help if you have something for me to do

[alinefm]

@Queuecumber could you get the latest code (master branch) and try to build, generate the rpm and install it in a openSUSE LEAP 15.1 or CentOS 8 system? You can do it with nested virtualization if you don't have any system with those OS.

I finished up on Ubuntu 19.10, some people are testing on Debian and I am going to Fedora 30 right now.

what does happen when you click the link? http://kimchi-project.slack.com

It should redirect you to Slack and then you login/create an account and it is all. The channel name is kimchi

[alinefm]

Yay!! 🎉 Wok and Kimchi 3.0 are released!

https://github.com/kimchi-project/wok/releases/tag/3.0.0
https://github.com/kimchi-project/kimchi/releases/tag/3.0.0

Enjoy it and let me know if you find any problems!

I am still working on a guide on how to install Wok and Kimchi on CentOS as there are some dependencies missing in there.

[Modusmundi]

@alinefm I've wrote one for Ubuntu (On the older version), I can probably do one for Cent if you give me a few days.

[alinefm]

@Modusmundi For sure! Take your time! And Thank you!

From what I noticed, we need to manually download novnc and/or spice-html5 and proper install it under /usr/share to have it working with Kimchi as CentOS does not have those packages.

And probably install python3-cheetah and python3-cherrypy via pip too.
