new plugin version not showing up in "update center"

[Åsmund Østvold]

Hi All,

My Jenkins instant do not get the latest plugin updates in the "update center".  I am able to install plugins.  Example on old versions is that I am asked if I want to upgrade the git plugin to 1.1.21.  I know from [1] that the news version us 1.1.22 and was released Aug 08, 2012. 

Other but probably related issue is that "Available" do not list Environment Script Plugin [2].

Is this an expected delay or are there an issue with the plugin distribution information at the moment?

PS. Do tell me if I should have posted this to the dev list.

Check what version of core you are running. If you are running an older version of core than required by the plugin (1.424) then you will not see the update until you update core.

The second issue is when did you last let jenkins update the plugin metadata. Jenkins only checks for metadata every 24 hours, and if you browse quickly the ajax request will not have time to complete and hence jenkins will not get the update. Best to force a metadata update from the Advanced tab

Thanks quick response.  

To validate if it is a local or a global (unlikely)  issue. Could somebody tell me what version of the git plugin that is available in there Jenkins installation?  

My Jenkins instances have 1.1.21 but I would expect 1.1.22. 

Answers inlined.

Am running Jenkins ver. 1.477. RPM version.

I have done the forced update of data. No errors in log file but still no change in data presented in the update center.  

What I forgot to state last time was that I am running behind a proxy. But as I am able to download and install already listed plugins in the update center I do not expect a network issues.
