[JENKINS-66223] Jenkins update center version redirect for update-center.json serves wrong version

Mark R created issue - 2021-07-26 20:22

Description

Original: The jenkins update center is serving the wrong update-center.json file for pinned versions. As a result automation that depends on this file to determine the latest compatible version of a plugin for a particular jenkins version may pull in a plugin version that is too high and requires a newer Jenkins core version. As far as I can tell there is no place to obtain the actual update-center.json file for 2.277.3 once a newer LTS is released. Expected: # Hit https://updates.jenkins.io/update-center.json?version=2.277.3 # Get redirected to https://updates.jenkins.io/dynamic-stable-2.277.3/update-center.json # Observe actual version in json to be 2.277.3 Actual: # Hit https://updates.jenkins.io/update-center.json?version=2.277.3 # Get redirected to https://updates.jenkins.io/dynamic-stable-2.277.3/update-center.json # Observe actual version in json to be different (at time of writing 2.289.2)

Closed due to user confusion. The core version reported in the json is the version of the latest core - not the version that this json represents.
