I always install into a VM, and rollback to a snapshot when things are not looking good. I can then alter all the build numbers using the build-number plugin, and any other things that have changed since the last snapshot, and then rebuild half the world for a couple of days. Jenkins does not bork often (like it was last month), but the plugins are somewhat less than well tested.
You can sometimes revert the plugins, but I'm not sure how to revert Jenkins itself to the older release. Maybe that's another part of the UI that is not exposed anymore. The 1.600 release is still posted. Looking at the changelog, it looks like it’s a major bugfix for security issues - something that I definitely want. It says nothing about do-not-install. What's the issue? -----Original Message----- From: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com [mailto:jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Jason Pyeron Sent: February-28-15 19:51 To: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Borked my jenkins doing a plugin update -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- - - - Jason Pyeron PD Inc. http://www.pdinc.us - - Principal Consultant 10 West 24th Street #100 - - +1 (443) 269-1555 x333 Baltimore, Maryland 21218 - - - -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This message is copyright PD Inc, subject to license 20080407P00. > -----Original Message----- > From: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com > [mailto:jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Daniel Beck > Sent: Saturday, February 28, 2015 17:23 > To: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com > Subject: Re: Borked my jenkins doing a plugin update > > > On 28.02.2015, at 19:11, Jason Pyeron <jpye...@pdinc.us> wrote: > > > Anyone up for a post mortem? > > Caused by the fix to SECURITY-125: > https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/SECURITY/Jenkins+Security+ Advisory+2015-02-27 > > So it should be an unusual enough situation.

I say with tongue in cheek, "click link, scroll and read 'Version 1.4.1 (Feb 27, 2015) Bundled in 1.596.1 and 1.600. Do not update to this release; it will be removed from the update center (INFRA-250). If you have already updated, use Plugin Manager > Installed to revert to your previous version.`" -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
