Cinder Project Releases
|
||||
=======================
|
||||
|
||||
The Cinder project follows the OpenStack 6 month development cycle, at the
|
||||
end of which a new stable branch is created from master, and master becomes
|
||||
the development branch for the next development cycle.
|
||||
|
||||
Because many OpenStack consumers don't move as quickly as OpenStack
|
||||
development, we backport appropriate bugfixes from master into the stable
|
||||
branches and create new releases for consumers to use ... for a while.
|
||||
See the `Stable Branches
|
||||
<https://docs.openstack.org/project-team-guide/stable-branches.html>`_
|
||||
section of the
|
||||
`OpenStack Project Team Guide
|
||||
<https://docs.openstack.org/project-team-guide/index.html>`_
|
||||
for details about the timelines.
|
||||
|
||||
What follows is information about the Cinder project and its releases.

How Stuff Works
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
Releases from Master
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Releases from **master** for *cinder* follow the 'cycle-with-rc' release model.
|
||||
|
||||
* The 'cycle-with-rc' model describes projects that produce a single release
|
||||
at the end of the cycle, with one or more release candidates (RC) close to
|
||||
the end of the cycle and optional development milestone betas published on
|
||||
a per-project need.
|
||||
|
||||
Releases from **master** for *os-brick, cinderlib, and the clients* follow
|
||||
the 'cycle-with-intermediary' release model.
|
||||
|
||||
* The 'cycle-with-intermediary' model describes projects that produce multiple
|
||||
full releases during the development cycle, with a final release to match
|
||||
the end of the cycle.
|
||||
* os-brick has a deliverable type of 'library'
|
||||
* python-cinderclient and python-brick-cinderclient-ext have a deliverable
|
||||
type of 'client-library'
|
||||
* cinderlib has a deliverable type of 'trailing'
|
||||
|
||||
* The final cinderlib release for a cycle must occur no later than 3 months
|
||||
after the coordinated OpenStack release of cinder.
|
||||
|
||||
Releases from **master** for *cinder-tempest-plugin* follow the
|
||||
'cycle-automatic' scheme.
|
||||
|
||||
* No stable branches are created.
|
||||
* Released automatically at the end of each cycle, or on-demand.
|
||||
|
||||
Releases from **master** for *rbd-iscsi-client* follow the 'independent'
|
||||
scheme.
|
||||
|
||||
* No stable branches are created.
|
||||
* Released on demand whenever necessary because it has to track ceph
|
||||
development more than openstack development.
|
||||

||||
Branching
|
||||
---------
|
||||
|
||||
All Cinder project deliverables (except cinder-tempest-plugin and
|
||||
rbd-iscsi-client) follow the `OpenStack stable branch policy
|
||||
<https://docs.openstack.org/project-team-guide/stable-branches.html>`_. Briefly,
|
||||
|
||||
* The stable branches are intended to be a safe source of fixes for high
|
||||
impact bugs and security issues which have been fixed on master since a
|
||||
given release.
|
||||
* Stable branches are cut from the last release of a given deliverable, at
|
||||
the end of the common 6-month development cycle.
|
||||
|
||||
Only members of the `cinder-stable-maint
|
||||
<https://review.opendev.org/admin/groups/534,members>`_
|
||||
gerrit group have +2 powers on patches proposed to stable branches. This
|
||||
is a subset of `cinder-core
|
||||
<https://review.opendev.org/#/admin/groups/83,members>`_
|
||||
plus the OpenStack-wide `stable-maint-core
|
||||
<https://review.opendev.org/admin/groups/2267a5998d4224dd0acf1081eb2ee7b11573b7ea,members>`_
|
||||
team.
|
||||
|
||||
While anyone may propose a release, releases must be approved by
|
||||
the `OpenStack Release Managers
|
||||
<https://review.opendev.org/admin/groups/5c75219bf2ace95cdea009c82df26ca199e04d59,members>`_.
