Remove Installation Targets for Debian Wheezy

[Jason Stephenson]

Now that we have added installation support for Debian Stretch in OpenSRF and Evergreen 3.0, we should remove installation support for Debian Wheezy. We normally only support two releases of a given Linux distribution at a time.

Branches forthcoming.

[Jason Stephenson (jstephenson)]

Here is the OpenSRF branch:

http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=working/OpenSRF.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/user/dyrcona/lp1718459-remove-debian7-wheezy

I have tested it on Debian 8 Jessie. It installs cleanly and make check passes.

Trying to install debian-wheezy prerequisites gives the error "make: *** No rule to make target 'debian-wheezy'. Stop." as expected.

Here is the Evergreen branch:

http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=working/Evergreen.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/user/dyrcona/lp1718459-remove-debian7-wheezy

I rebased the OpenSRF branch on master and tested both on Debian 9 Stretch tonight. The install is clean according to the new directions, make check passes for both OpenSRF and Evergreen, and all Evergreen live tests pass.

[Jason Stephenson (jstephenson)]

I tested both the branches on Ubuntu Trusty and everything works as expected.

[Jason Stephenson (jstephenson)]

For completeness' sake, I tested everything on Debian Jessie and Ubuntu Xenial. All tests pass, including pgtap tests.

Punting to 3.0.1, where (I propose) "3.0.1" be treated as a rolling target until Wheezy actually drops out of LTS.

[Jason Stephenson (jstephenson)]

Then, we should change the target to 3.next, since Wheezy has community LTS through May 2018.

Also, does this mean we'll support Ubuntu 14.04 until September 2019?

[Ben Shum (bshum)]

Debian Wheezy went EOL in May 2018. Pushing these changes to remove Wheezy target for master Evergreen and OpenSRF so that future releases are not built on this target.
