Confused about repositories

[jarcher]

Hi All...

I am confused about the repositories. I am considering buying a support subscription, but I don't really understand the difference between the enterprise repository and whatever the non-enterprise respoitory is called. Basically, what happens if I upgrade proxmox pve without access to the enterprise repository? Do I end up with beta or potentially untested product?

Thanks...

Hi,

The repositories releases workflow is :



Proxmox dev git ----> pvetest repo -------> pve-no-subscription -----> pve-enterprise


pvetest is really not stable during developemment of a release, have many changes each day.
When pvetest become stable, after feature freeze, before a release (like coming proxmox 3.2), stable packages are going to pve-no-subcription.

So it's stable !

but if you want even more stable, packages well tested in pve-no-subscription. (maybe some undetected bugs will be reported by usesr), are going to pve-entreprise some days/weeks after.

Okay got it, thanks! But when I tried to upgrade my 3.1, both with the web based U and by typing apt-get update at the command line, I got a bunch of errors saying that it could not access the enterprise repository. Do I need to change sources.list if I do not get a subscription? If I do get a subscription, do I just add a username and password to sources.list?

Tom, I'm in the US, do I still need to pay VAT?
