Ceph » Stable releases

Approval from the HOWTO#Leads is before cutting a stable release.

• Send a mail to the HOWTO#Leads including at lease
  • the SHA of the commit from the stable branch to be published
  • the integration test results
• If approval is obtained from all leads, inform QE that it is ready for more tests and prepare the release notes
• If a lead asks for more issues to be backported, go back to preparing the release

Here an example mail:

To: Yehuda Sadeh <yehuda@redhat.com>
CC: Ceph Development <ceph-devel@vger.kernel.org>
Subject: Firefly v0.80.10 backports (rgw)

Hi Yehuda,

A few issues related to rgw were backported to firefly[1]. They passed the rgw suite[2]. Do you think it is ready for QE to start their own round of testing ?

Cheers
