Ceph » Stable releases

Introduction¶

When backporting starts, a branch named after the release (for instance firefly) already exists.

Add a new release in redmine¶

• http://tracker.ceph.com/rb/release/ceph-releases/new
• the name of the release is the name of the ceph release, all lowercase
• the start date is the month when the stable release was first published
• the end date is six months after the documented lifetime expectancy because that is more or less what happens in practice
• Update the HOWTO landing page
• Update the project overview

Add a new integration branch in git¶

For instance firefly-backports

• release=firefly
• git checkout -b $release-backports $release
• git push ceph $release-backports

Create a new version¶

• Add something like hammer v0.94.1 in http://tracker.ceph.com/projects/ceph-releases/settings/versions
• Create a new issue to track the progress, copying an existing one (for instance http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/11353)
• Update the HOWTO landing page

Update websites with the new release¶

• ceph.com : http://ceph.com/resources/downloads/
• wikipediat : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceph_%28storage%29
