3 | 179 | Loïc Dachary | Backporting and the maintenance of a stable release begins when a new "stable Ceph release":https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/releases/general/ is published. Commits from the master branch are cherry-picked to the stable branch and run through integration and upgrade tests. After a few weeks a "point release":https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/releases/general/#stable-releases-x-2-z is published. This repeats until the "the stable release is retired":https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/releases/general/#lifetime-of-stable-releases. Backporting is focused on fixing bugs and development on the master branch is expected to add new features. Both share a "the same workflow":https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/dev/developer_guide/basic-workflow/ with additional "tools and methods":https://github.com/ceph/ceph/blob/master/SubmittingPatches-backports.rst dedicated to help with backports. |
