When installing OpenModelica under Ubuntu, MSL 3.2.2 is installed

[casella]

When installing OpenModelica from scratch on Ubuntu, MSL v. 3.2.2 is installed.

Advanced users have developed various strategies to fix this issue and somehow get MSL 3.2.3 going on their system. However, we can't expect beginners to do so. If I ship someone a library with

annotation(uses(Modelica(version="3.2.3")));

I'd expect it to work out of the box as expected. Why shouldn't it?

Can we please fix this in all our currently released versions?

Thank you @sjoelund.se!

Would you mind pushing this also to the 1.14.1 and 1.15.0 maintenance branches? I guess we shouldn't wait until July 2020 to release OMEdit on Linux with MSL 3.2.3 :)

You should never change dependencies on released packages. 1.15 branch could be fixed though.

Replying to sjoelund.se:

That goes without saying.

The point of porting this fix to maintenance/v.14 is to have this update in a possible future 1.14.2 (which is not released yet) if 1.15.0 is delayed by more than I few weeks, which I cannot definitely rule out.

@sjoelund.se, do you agree?

[casella]

Since 1.14.2 and 1.15.0 will not be released, this will automatically be fixed in 1.16.0

[casella]

If I understood it correctly today, we somehow have the same problem yet because of the APT server being stuck to omlib modelica 3.2.2. So, when you make a fresh install on a Linux machine for the first time, you get 3.2.2, not 3.2.3.

This should be fixed in 1.16.2

[casella]

1.16.2 was released today. Rescheduled to 1.17.0

In 1.16.2 this behavior is changed, no libraries are installed by default.
People can then just install what library they want.

OK, but what about the MSL?

[adrpo]

You need to install that separately via the package manager or:

apt-get install omlib-modelica-3.2.3 omlib-modelicareference

[casella]

OMG, this means that any user installing OMC on Linux for the first time won't see MLS in OMEdit until he does that?

If that is the case, we have to make it very, very clear!

[casella]

Is this written somewhere already?

[adrpo]

Is written in Download-Linux (Installing Modelica libraries) but maybe we should make it more clear:
​https://openmodelica.org/download/download-linux

I think we will need a 1.16.3 (as I think I broke OMEdit diagrams, see #6307 & #6310) and I could add a recommended dependency on omc with MSL 3.2.3.

[casella]

Rescheduled to 1.18.0

[adrpo]

I think that we can close this ticket as no libraries are installed by default now.
Or we can consider as a duplicate of handling the MSL or the one about the package manager.

Ticket retargeted after milestone closed

1.18.0 blocker tickets moved to 1.19.0
