@jdegraft, congratulations and many thanks for helping release Reference Application 2.4!!! :smile:

FYI - I’ve edited your post here to reflect our current branding – i.e., “Reference Application 2.4” instead of “OpenMRS 2.4” to help distinguish Reference Application vs. Platform releases.

I noticed that the artifacts in SourceForge include “openmrs-standalone-1.11.6.zip”. Isn’t that supposed to be “openmrs-standalone-2.4.zip”?

Also, the Download button on the download page is pointing to the standalone package (modules to be added). I’m assuming that should point to “openmrs-standalone-2.4.zip”).

Great work everyone!

If I download openmrs-standalone-1.11.6.zip (what I believe should be renamed openmrs-standalone-2.4.zip) into a fresh ubuntu 16.04 instance, I see some strange MACOSX entries in the zip archive:

$ unzip -lf openmrs-standalone-1.11.6.zip

Any chance @jdegraft or @dkayiwa is using a Mac and accidentally introduced these __MACOSX artifacts into the archive?

@burke, I used a mac.

I am able to upload the files again from a PC, should I go ahead?

6

Hello @jdegraft,

Great Work! :slight_smile:

me and @burke are taking care of it right now. Don’t upload any new files to the folder.

7

@maurya, sorry you need to redo what you are doing, I tried to do the upload again. I will now leave it up to you. Thanks for your help.

8

@jdegraft, no worries. I worked with @maurya and I think we’ve got it sorted: renamed to “openmrs-standalone-2.4.zip” and “openmrs-2.4-modules.zip” to follow conventions of prior releases and updated download.openmrs.org accordingly. I think we’re good.

Thanks again for seeing this through, @jdegraft. You rock!!! :thumbsup: :guitar: :musical_note:

Good work @jdegraft, may be we also need to update the folders in the reference application release for 2.4 at source-forge, it creates a standalone 1.11.6 folder instead which may bring confusions

11

@k_joseph, source-forge has the correct folders, can you confirm this? Thanks.

12

Hey, there’s a problem on the http://openmrs.org/download/ page – the section about Reference Application 2.4 has a link to download Platform 2.0.0 WAR + Reference Application 2.4 Modules & Data. This is wrong, because Refapp 2.4 is supposed to be built on Platform 1.11.x (and AFAIK that module bundle will not run at all on Platform 2.0.x). So the link should be to download Platform 1.11.6.

@jdegraft, @maurya, or @jeffneiman, is this something one of you can fix?

13

@maurya, can you help with this? During Ref app 2.4 release, I think the procedure was to submit a help ticket for these links to created, but I am not sure. I don’t remember having access to update this page.

14

@darius - Thanks for noticing this , updated the page accordingly.
