Release Cycle Tasks
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
This document describes the relative ordering and rough timeline for
|
|
all of the steps related to tasks that need to be completed during a
|
|
release cycle for Glance.
|
|
|
|
Before PTG (after closing previous release)
|
|
===========================================
|
|
|
|
#. Collect topics and prepare notes for PTG discussions in an etherpad.
|
|
Add a link to the etherpad to the list of PTG etherpads (for example:
|
|
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/PTG/Ussuri/Etherpads)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Between Summit and Milestone-1
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
#. Review output from the PTG and set Review-Priority on any high
|
|
priority items identified from those discussions. Send out recap to
|
|
the mailing list.
|
|
|
|
#. Add any Glance-specific schedule information to the release calendar
|
|
(https://review.opendev.org/#/c/505425/)
|
|
|
|
#. Focus on spec reviews to get them approved and updated early in
|
|
the cycle to allow enough time for implementation.
|
|
|
|
#. Review new driver submissions and give early feedback so there isn't
|
|
a rush at the new driver deadline.
|
|
|
|
#. Review community-wide goals and decide a plan or response to
|
|
them.
|
|
|
|
Milestone-1
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
#. Propose library releases for glance_store or python-glanceclient if there
|
|
are merged commits ready to be released. Watch for any releases
|
|
proposed by the release team.
|
|
|
|
#. Check progress on new drivers and specs and warn contributors if
|
|
it looks like they are at risk for making it in this cycle.
|
|
|
|
Between Milestone-1 and Milestone-2
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
#. Review stable backports and release status.
|
|
|
|
#. Watch for and respond to updates to new driver patches.
|
|
|
|
Milestone-2
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
#. Propose library releases for glance_store or python-glanceclient if there
|
|
are merged commits ready to be released. Watch for any releases
|
|
proposed by the release team.
|
|
|
|
Between Milestone-2 and Milestone-3
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
#. Review stable backports and release status.
|
|
|
|
#. Set Review-Priority for any glance_store changes that are needed for
|
|
feature work to make sure they are ready by the library freeze prior
|
|
to Milestone-3.
|
|
|
|
#. Make sure any new feature work that needs client changes are proposed
|
|
and on track to land before the client library freeze at Milestone-3.
|
|
|
|
Milestone-3
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
#. Propose releases for unreleased changes in python-glanceclient. Watch
|
|
for releases proposed by the release team. Include branch request for
|
|
stable/$series creation.
|
|
|
|
#. Set Review-Priority -1 for any feature work not complete in time for
|
|
inclusion in this cycle. Remind contributors that FFE will need to be
|
|
requested to still allow it in this cycle.
|
|
|
|
#. Prepare "prelude" release notes as
|
|
summaries of the content of the release so that those are merged
|
|
before their first release candidate.
|
|
|
|
#. Complete the responses to community-wide goals if not already done.
|
|
|
|
#. Start assembling cycle-highlights for the team.
|
|
|
|
Between Milestone-3 and RC1
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
#. Add cycle-highlights in the releases deliverable file.
|
|
|
|
RC1 week
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
#. Propose RC1 release for glance or watch for proposal from the release team.
|
|
Include stable/$series branching request with the release.
|
|
|
|
#. Finalize any cycle-highlights for the release cycle.
|
|
|
|
#. Remind contributors that ``master`` is now the next cycle but focus should
|
|
be on wrapping up the current cycle.
|
|
|
|
#. Watch for translation and new stable branch patches and merge them quickly.
|
|
|
|
Between RC1 and Final
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
#. Propose additional RC releases as needed.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
Try to avoid creating more than 3 release candidates so we are not
|
|
creating candidates that consumers are then trained to ignore. Each
|
|
release candidate should be kept for at least 1 day, so if there is a
|
|
proposal to create RCx but clearly a reason to create another one,
|
|
delay RCX to include the additional patches.
|
|
|
|
#. Watch for translation patches and merge them quickly.
|
|
|
|
#. Make sure final RC request is done one week before the final release date.
|
|
|
|
#. Watch for the final release proposal from the release team to review and +1
|
|
so team approval is included in the metadata that goes onto the signed tag.
|
|
|
|
Final Release
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
#. Start planning for next release cycle.
|
|
|
|
#. Check for bugfixes that would be good to backport to older stable branches.
|
|
|
|
#. Propose any bugfix releases for things that did not make the freeze for
|
|
final library or service releases.
|
|
|
|
Post-Final Release
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
#. Unblock any new driver submission patches that missed the previous
|
|
release cycle's deadline.
|
|
|
|
#. Review approved glance-specs that were merged to the previous cycle
|
|
folder that did not get implemented. Revert or move those specs to the
|
|
next cycles's folder.
