GlusterFS Release process
- Add the release-notes to the docs/release-notes/ directory in the sources
- after merging the release-notes, create a tag like v3.6.2
- push the tag to git.gluster.org
- create the tarball with the release job in Jenkins
Notify the packagers that we need packages created. Provide the link to the
source tarball from the Jenkins release job to the packagers
mailinglist. A list of the people involved in
the package maintenance for the different distributions is in the MAINTAINERS
file in the sources.
The tracker bugs are used as guidance for blocker bugs and should get created when a release is made. To create one
- file a new bug in Bugzilla
- base the contents on previous tracker bugs, like the one for glusterfs-3.5.5
- set the '''Alias''' (it is a text-field) of the bug to 'glusterfs-a.b.c' where a.b.c is the next minor version
- save the new bug
- you should now be able to use the 'glusterfs-a.b.c' to access the bug, use the alias to replace the BZ# in URLs, or '''blocks''' fields
- bugs that were not fixed in this release, but were added to the tracker should be moved to the new tracker
Create the Release Announcement (this is often done while people are making the packages). The contents of the release announcement can be based on the release notes, or should at least have a pointer to them.
Examples:
Once the Fedora/EL RPMs are ready (and any others that are ready by then), send the release announcement:
- Gluster Mailing lists
- gluster-announce, gluster-devel, gluster-users
- Gluster Blog
- Gluster Twitter account
- Gluster Facebook page
- Gluster LinkedIn group - Justin has access
- Gluster G+
Close the bugs that have all their patches included in the release. Leave a note in the bug report with a pointer to the release announcement.
