I think my app is updating automatically. I never did meteor update, I just ran my meteor npm start script and I’m stuck on

Downloading meteor-tool@1.4.0... with a spinner

UPDATE:

Not sure what happened, but all systems are now go. I repeat all systems are go.

Hi, please see bson-ext here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/bson-ext

And general info here: https://guide.meteor.com/1.4-migration.html#binary-packages-require-build-toolchain

Are binaries for new package versions supplied? Not everyone in our team has set up a compiler toolchain yet. Is it safe for everyone to update?

The post says binaries of packages need a compiler toolchain but what about the packages that come directly with the release, especially there were issues with bcrypt for example.

From what I heard, packages that come with the release don’t need a compiler and are pre-compiled as usual. The issue is with community packages that have binary code - those need to be precompiled.

Will there be an updated roadmap? @zoltan

Meteor Web-site still offers to download 1.3

Thank you for this release MDG & contributors! Looking forward to 1.5!

If console welcomes me with “exit code 3” instead of meteor start - MDG released the newest update…
I suppose 1.4 is not compatible yet with MUP, and would clearly require docker reconfig?
Also, quite troublesome database migration… Why does this version even pass as auto-update?

You don’t have to migrate a single thing in the database…?

Meteor downloads the update in background, so that when you enter meteor update or meteor create, it’s using the latest recommended release.

How can I specify a python version when running meteor update inside a meteor project?

I am getting the following error:

=> Errors while initializing project:                                              
                                              
While downloading npm-bcrypt@0.8.7...:
error: Command failed:

rebuild --no-bin-links --update-binary

Edit – looks like I can just use anaconda to switch to python 2.7:

$ conda create --name meteor python=2.7
$ source activate meteor
$ meteor update

i try to install meteor in a server (gce), but when use meteor create myapp i stuck whit a error. how can solve this?

Now that we have Mongo 3.0+, you can use queryPlanner on your local box easily. I made a video showing how it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9-9PCaEpbU

Deployment is broken it seems with 1.4 so I have to revert to 1.3 for now
