========================
Openstack Freeze Process
========================
PTL Actions
===========
Notice
++++++
- Email the developer mailing list approximately two weeks before the freeze.
This email should contain a notice that requirements will branch and
cycle-trailing projects should be careful if they have not branched. The
cycle-trailing projects can retarget their constraints usage to the stable
branch.
Branch
++++++
- File a review in ``openstack/releases`` with -W and only remove the -W when
ready to branch.
- Once branched, change the publish location to the new release branch.
- Once branched, update devstack grenade for the new release. For example,
use https://review.openstack.org/#/c/493057/13/devstack-vm-gate-wrap.sh
Potential issues
++++++++++++++++
- Use something like https://review.openstack.org/#/c/492382 to find problem
projects.
