JIRAUSER1258881 commented on Fri, 17 Jun 2016 16:19:58 +0000: thanks for the clarifications, you might want to update the documentation that you also support 16.04 ramon.fernandez commented on Fri, 17 Jun 2016 15:50:11 +0000: I'm closing this ticket as "Works as Designed" since we only provide Ubuntu 16.04 packages for 3.2. Regards, Ramón. ernie.hershey@10gen.com commented on Fri, 17 Jun 2016 15:40:37 +0000: Hi francisdb - it's a mechanism for pinning to a release series. We use a separate repo per MongoDB release series to prevent packaging systems from upgrading across release series without a manual step to ensure the upgrade is intentional. If you want to avoid this, you can use the "stable" repo which will always point to the latest stable release series. (http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu xenial/mongodb-org/stable Release) JIRAUSER1258881 commented on Fri, 17 Jun 2016 14:06:11 +0000: what is the rationale behind introducing a new apt repo per mongo version? JIRAUSER1258881 commented on Fri, 17 Jun 2016 13:45:22 +0000: Ah ok, 3.2 is fine, I just thought that xenial was not supported because the docs only mention 14.04 https://docs.mongodb.com/v3.2/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu/ ramon.fernandez commented on Fri, 17 Jun 2016 13:26:14 +0000: francisdb, looking at the repository it seems we only have 3.2 packages for xenial. MongoDB 3.2 is our latest stable release, any reason why you'd prefer 3.0?
