Releasing ironic-staging-drivers

This section is relevant to the maintainers of ironic-staging-drivers. You have to be a member of the ironic-staging-drivers-release group to do releases.

1. Verify that the CI works via a dummy patch.

2. Create a signed tag locally:

   git tag -s -m "Release <version>" <version>

3. Push the new tag to gerrit:

   git push gerrit <version>

4. Wait for the new release to appear on PyPI, contact the infra team in case of any issues.

5. If a stable branch is needed, go to the branches section of the ironic-staging-drivers settings in gerrit and add a new branch from the newly created tag.

6. If a stable branch has been created, submit a change for it that:

   1. updates .gitreview with a new defaultbranch,
   2. updates extra-requirements.txt with a link to ironic stable,
   3. updates tox.ini to use upper constraints from the corresponding release.

   See the stable/xena patch for an example.
