@FrankM the issue with our package manager should be fixed now, can you try again?

HEAD is now at a67f84ea5b chore: incrementing version number - v3.3.4

Ok, i think you are working.

[sweetp@community.nodebb.org]

after updating, my install still says its running v3.3.4

[baris@community.nodebb.org]

@sweetp I might have forgot to increment the version number in package.json for 3.3.5, I did that later https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/commit/055762e69e66d8a4fb30755a7b84bf52613c9e57.

On another forum, i got nothing when i do

git fetch

[frankm@community.nodebb.org]

~/nodebb$ git reset --hard v3.3.5
fatal: ambiguous argument 'v3.3.5': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git  [...] -- [...]'

[julian@community.nodebb.org]

@FrankM You'll need to either git pull or git fetch first.

[frankm@community.nodebb.org]

Ok, git pull works

My other forum show this

~/nodebb$ git pull
hint: You have divergent branches and need to specify how to reconcile them.
hint: You can do so by running one of the following commands sometime before
hint: your next pull:
hint: 
hint:   git config pull.rebase false  # merge
hint:   git config pull.rebase true   # rebase
hint:   git config pull.ff only       # fast-forward only
hint: 
hint: You can replace "git config" with "git config --global" to set a default
hint: preference for all repositories. You can also pass --rebase, --no-rebase,
hint: or --ff-only on the command line to override the configured default per
hint: invocation.
fatal: Need to specify how to reconcile divergent branches.

Fixing diverged branches is outside of scope of this forum, sorry

I somehow got it to v3.3.5 now. Please do not ask how I'm thinking about reinstalling to start cleanly.
