Prospero update operation to a specific version

[spyrkob]

Issue: #705

[bstansberry]

Hi @spyrkob. Thanks for this. Please drop EAP7-2250 from this (e.g. the PR title etc) except if you want as an item in the "Related Issues" section.

The general WildFly community has no visibility to the EAP7 project.

thanks @bstansberry done. Should I create a WFLY Feature Request JIRA to track this as well? The main ticket right now is a Prospero GH ticket, so not sure how to handle this case in the RFE process.

[bstansberry]

@spyrkob You only need a WFLY if you'll be making changes to the wildfly/wildfly code base. Otherwise filing one or not is up to the feature team.

It won't show up in the release page without one (https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly/releases/tag/35.0.0.Final) or in the JIRA release notes for that JIRA version, but I will mention it in the release announcement because of the #705 tracker.

We have features that come through WildFly Core that are the same; they only have a WFCORE so they don't show up on the main WF release page on Github. But I discuss them in the release announcement.

@spyrkob I can be the sme for this feature if you're ok with it?

[spyrkob]

Sure, that'd be great, thank you!

[jmesnil]

how would they do that:

• with multiple --version?
• a --versions <channel1>:<version>,<channel2>:<version> ?
• or something else?

[spyrkob]

Either one works. Generally for Prospero arguments with multiple values, there is an option to either use a comma to separate the values, or specify the argument multiple times. So the two examples below are the same:

  --version wildfly:28.0.0.Final
  --version datasources:2.0.0.Final

--version wildfly:28.0.0.Final,datasources:2.0.0.Final

[jmesnil]

<CHANNEL_NAME> would be org.wildfly.channels:wildfly?

[spyrkob]

It's the name of the channel from the server configuration. For example my installation of WildFly has:

$ ./prospero channel list --dir wfly
Server /Users/spyrkob/workspaces/set/prospero/prospero/wfly is subscribed to following channels:

wildfly org.wildfly.channels:wildfly

$ cat wfly/.installation/installer-channels.yaml
---
schemaVersion: "2.0.0"
name: "wildfly"
repositories:
  - id: "central"
    url: "https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/"
  - id: "jboss-public"
    url: "https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public/"
  - id: "mrrc"
    url: "https://maven.repository.redhat.com/ga/"
manifest:
  maven:
    groupId: "org.wildfly.channels"
    artifactId: "wildfly"
resolve-if-no-stream: "none"

I could run the update as

$ ./prospero update perform --dir wfly --version wildfly:28.0.0.Final

I recorded an Asciinema to demonstrate this feature: https://asciinema.org/a/WMBleBkPDTLRyljlaavKkpptg

@bstansberry can you please close this issue? I need to change the developer from Bartosz to me, so I created the #749 to suppress this current PR.

@jmesnil are you ok to keep as SME?
