Hannes Rosenögger cde076c525 Merge branch 'fix-patch_guide' into 'master'
don't set LATEST_TAG automatically in patch update guide

As discussed in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/2607, this removes the automatic setting of the LATEST_TAG variable in the update guide, because it could get set to rc versions.

Instead, a command was added to list all tags, with the most recent one being on the end of the list. Also a note was added to prevent users from updating to new minor/major versions because the tag list includes all tags.

Depending on the installation method and your GitLab version, there are multiple update guides. Choose one that fits your needs.

Omnibus Packages

Installation from source

  • The individual upgrade guides are for those who have installed GitLab from source.
  • The CE to EE update guides are for subscribers of the Enterprise Edition only. The steps are very similar to a version upgrade: stop the server, get the code, update config files for the new functionality, install libs and do migrations, update the init script, start the application and check the application status.
  • Upgrader is an automatic ruby script that performs the update for installations from source.
  • Patch versions guide includes the steps needed for a patch version, eg. 6.2.0 to 6.2.1.
