To upgrade from gerrit 2.12. to 2.13 we need to have at least gerrit 2.13.3 due to bugs that will prevent upgrading gerrit 2.12.x to gerrit 2.13.2.

Might as well use 2.13.3 anyway, but it's not a real blocker.

Raising priority to normal as we will be updating very soon.

Paladox raised the priority of this task from Medium to High.Nov 26 2016, 2:37 PM

Raising to high pri as this T151676 should make this a priority to fix. I doint know 100% that updating to 2.13 will fix it, but jgit 4.3.1 looks promising.

@demon could you lower this if you disagree please. I'm just raising pri for now.

The logs provided by @ArielGlenn seems to confirm that the fix in jgit 4.3.1 will fix it for us as a602a8b2400730a8d9a0d20b79bfb55ec0de4d86 is an abandoned commit so if I am correct a602a8b2400730a8d9a0d20b79bfb55ec0de4d86 is a loose object which would be removed but with the fix it should be kept.

Change 323545 merged by Filippo Giunchedi:
gerrit (2.13.3-wmf.1) jessie-wikimedia; urgency=low

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/323545

Note: That the update to gerrit 2.13 will make some changes to the gitweb links.

  1. parent links no longer have links, it was intentional but I have brought this to upstream attention and are willing to allow it to be supported again but in a future update. I doint know if they will backport that to stable-2.13 though.
  1. the project access links are broken, see https://bugs.chromium.org/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=4909

I managed to fix project access links in https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/#/c/92620/ (waiting for it to be merged and then I will get it backported) :)

That patch was abandoned in favour of https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/#/c/92645/ since it is cherry-picked to stable-2.13 then will be merged into master.

It was merged and will be released when gerrit 2.13.4 is released.

Ah, it looks like a new exclusiveGroupPermissions = read is added in project.config in refs/meta/config so it will hide the access link, it can be removed which I did and it worked.
