HOWTO do development checkpoint releases¶
Development checkpoint releases are essentially development snapshots released often until the first release candidate is announced. The process for development checkpoint releases are a bit more ad hoc compared to the formal processes involved for stable releases and for release candidates.
- Ask the ceph project lead, Sage on when to cut a release
- On approval, the <release> branch (for eg, kraken) in the ceph-releases repo (this is an exact copy of the ceph repo, only frozen in time in order to avoid commits between the time a release occurs and the long times package builds take place) would be used by the new build service, chacra to build packages. Alfredo triggers the build
- Release notes can be prepared based on this branch
- After successful build and a basic sanity test, the git tag is pushed to ceph-releases and ceph repo
- Ensure the packages are published and signed, and the source tarball is uploaded as this is used for linking in the email to the list
- Once the builds are green and Alfredo gives the approval, announce a release as mentioned in HOWTO formally announce release, the rich view from the release notes rst rendering can be used to publish the blog post.
