|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | |||
| 3 | 2 | Loïc Dachary | * http://tracker.ceph.com/projects/ceph-releases/versions/new |
| 4 | * only set the name with **release version** (for instance **firefly v0.80.10**) |
||
| 5 | 1 | Loïc Dachary | |
| 6 | h3. Create new task |
||
| 7 | |||
| 8 | * http://tracker.ceph.com/projects/ceph-releases/issues/new |
||
| 9 | 4 | Loïc Dachary | * Title *release version* (for instance **firefly v0.80.10**) |
| 10 | 1 | Loïc Dachary | * Assign it to the "backporter":http://tracker.ceph.com/projects/ceph-releases responsible for it |
| 11 | 4 | Loïc Dachary | * Set the *Release* field to the release (for instance **firefly**) |
| 12 | * Set the *Target version* field to the version (for instance **firefly v0.80.10**) |

| 15 | h3. Add a workflow section to the description |
||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | The issue is used to figure out at what point of the release workflow it currently is. The "development workflow":http://ceph.com/docs/master/dev/development-workflow/ must be copied and edited to reflect the specifics of the version being released (i.e. replacing roles by names of people responsible for a given component at this point in time for instance). Here is an example from "firefly v0.80.10":http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/11090 |
||
| 18 | |||
| 19 | * "Preparing the release":http://ceph.com/docs/master/dev/development-workflow/#preparing-a-new-release |
||
| 20 | * "Cutting the release":http://ceph.com/docs/master/dev/development-workflow/#cutting-a-new-stable-release |

The release manager can publish the release with just this information and nothing else. The commit hash (**???**) below is in the release branch and has "received approval by everyone involved":http://ceph.com/docs/master/dev/development-workflow/#cutting-a-new-stable-release |
