20:45 <seb_kuzminsky> hi folks, possibly dumb question here but i wasn't able to find the answer in the docs

20:45 <seb_kuzminsky> can i run buildmaster 2.10 and connect workers from 3.4?

20:46 <seb_kuzminsky> or do the master and workers need to have closer-matching version numbers, maybe in the same major version?

20:46 <cmouse> iirc your workers should be at most master version

20:46 <seb_kuzminsky> so the workers can be older but not newer than the master?

20:46 <cmouse> yeah

20:46 <seb_kuzminsky> thanks!

20:47 <seb_kuzminsky> is this documented somewhere?

20:47 <cmouse> yes

20:48 <seb_kuzminsky> got a link?

20:49 <cmouse> hm

20:49 <cmouse> pretty sure it was somewhere

20:50 <seb_kuzminsky> i looked and didnt find it, but there's a lot of docs and i may just have missed it

20:50 <cmouse> ah

20:50 <cmouse> "The versions of the master and the workers do not need to match, so it’s possible to upgrade them separately."

20:50 <cmouse> this has been changed since last i checked

20:50 <cmouse> http://docs.buildbot.net/current/manual/upgrading/index.html

20:51 <seb_kuzminsky> i did see that, and i was unsure how that statement interacts with the earlier "Additionally, all backwards-incompatible changes will be done at a major version change (e.g. 1.x to 2.0)."

20:51 <cmouse> although the sysadmin in me is rather persistent about perils on running workers that are more recent than masters

20:51 <cmouse> so up to you i'd say =)

20:53 <seb_kuzminsky> ok, i'll give it a try, thanks for your help!
