# DSM 7
DSM 7 was released on June 29 2021 as Version 7.0.41890.

## In SynoCommunity some packages are available for DSM 7 but some are not.
* You find the status of the packages in the issue [#4524] **Meta: DSM7 package status**
* If you are running DSM7, some packages that are not compatible may continue appear in the Package Center of your Disk Station.
* PLEASE do not create issues saying that package `xy` cannot be installed on DSM 7. All packages not yet ported to DSM 7 will refuse the installation with a message about "package requires root privileges" (or "invalid file format", ...).
* Please regard all DSM 7 packages as beta versions (the synocommunity package repository is not capable to declare packages as beta only for DSM 7).
* The main issue we had with our reposity is fixed in [spkrepo](https://github.com/SynoCommunity/spkrepo/pull/112) and online since February 2024
- before the repository deliverd DSM 6 packages for Systems with DSM 7, when no DSM 7 package was available
- this gave errors like "invalid file format" (or "package requires root privileges")
- you still get this error when manually installing a DSM 6 package on DSM 7
* You find the status of the former packages in the issue [#4524] **Meta: DSM7 package status**
* New packages support DSM 7 from initial package version (and some require at least DSM 7).
* **ATTENTION**: As reported, package configuration settings may be lost following the upgrade to DSM 7 and the execution of a Package repair. Make sure to backup your settings and configuration for your SynoCommunity packages before installation of DSM 7 to facilitate restoration if needed.
* Packages of the following kind will need some time to make DSM 7 compatible
* Packages depending on MySQL database must be migrated to MariaDB 10
* Packages that use an Installation Wizard to configure a shared folder (all download related packages and others)
* Packages that integrate into DSM Webstation
* As this is a community project where people contribue in their spare time, it may take awhile until packages are ported to DSM 7. (There are still packages here that are not ported from DSM 5 to DSM 6 yet).
