Problem/Motivation

Stable version of Drush in Aegir debian package is 8.1.6, which is out of date, and lacks of support for recent PHP and Drupal versions.

Steps to reproduce

install aegir from debian package and look for drush version

Proposed resolution

update stable drush version to 8.3.x in debian/aegir3-provision.postinst file

  1. The patch changes the stable drush version from 8.1.6 to 8.3.4
  2. If drush is configured to download the "unstable" (last) version, it now downloads drush:8.x-dev via composer

Makes sense to me, but needs testing.

Why was this moved?

Marked #3185979: Debian package has old version of Drush as a duplicate of this issue.

please find the updated patch file. It does the following:

  • set the stable drush version to 8.4.5
  • unstable version of drush is set to 8.x-dev
  • it changes the download method for unstable to composer require, since there is no specific "unstable" package to download

Parent issue: #2953349: Aegir 3 is incompatible with Drush 9+ » #3145927: [META] Support Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Upgrading Drush works well over here, but I can't RTBC this as we're using Ansible instead of the Debian package so we can't test that.

Fixing the parent link.

Confirmed this works as expected with Debian (tested with PHP 7.4). Marking as RTBC.

Attached bumps drush to the latest 8.x stable, 8.4.8.

I was able to test the debian package (on Debian buster), and this seems fine to me as well.

I wasn't able to test reinstalling, but I did test the drush update with the following manual steps pulled from the installer file and things looked good to me. 

$ sudo curl -SsL https://github.com/drush-ops/drush/releases/download/8.4.8/drush.phar -o drush
$ sudo chmod +x drush
$ sudo mv /usr/local/bin/drush /usr/local/bin/drush-old-2021-08-12
$ sudo mv drush /usr/local/bin/drush
$ drush version
 Drush Version   :  8.4.8
