Not entirely true, StarlingX has an update service so you can upgrade your deployment at any given time, I suggest you follow the stx-update project to get an idea of how that works.
I do not think that the process of creating update/upgrade packages is documented publicly yet. This service uses specifically built files for this purpose, it does not use a later ISO build.
If you have a deployment based on the latest stable release you are good to go. These daily builds are getting patches and code for features that are not ready for production nor fully tested until the next release cycle. We are basically fixing bugs being introduced as part of the normal development process.
As I understand the process, updates to the internal package repo need to be loaded onto the controller, then those updates can be schedules out to the various nodes. It is the creation of those updates that I think we are missing here. I am not aware of a documented way to take a later ISO and apply that directly to achieve the same result.
We don't have a way to provide updates for the people that already installed a StarlingX instance.
Then i had this idea wrong, i had the strong belive we had stx-update for this reason Can someone help me to point about external documentation for stx-update? I would recommend to use the r/2018.10
ISO, the master branch is on heavy development and prone to bugs.
However, if we want to fix it, I think we need to :
1) Provide the packages with updates: we should pay special attention into versioning of every package.
Don't we provide a list of rpm's on every new build?
2) Find a way to install the updates and download them to be served into the additional controllers and computes. (not sure if this is what stx-update does)
Me neither , i think we might need a good education mail about what does stx-update does
I would love to be wrong about that...
