Release Management

For each major (x.0) and minor release there is a release nanny who is responsible for managing communication around releases. This person is responsible for handling the generation of release notes, sending emails and IRC notifications about release candidates and final releases, as well as generally tracking blockers, etc.

Tasks for each RC release

  • Update foreman-rpms/deb/<distro>/rc/<package> * As a minimum, update the changelog file, since the package version comes from that * Update build.sh with the SHAsum of the RC tag
  • Get jenkins to rebuild the packages for the rc repo

Stuff to do at release:

  • Update foreman-rpms/deb/<distro>/stable/<package> * copy from the appropriate RC packaging files * don't copy the rc changelog directly, craft a new one with appropriate release notes * update build.sh with the SHAsum of the release tag
  • Clean out the rc repo on server09 by hand * reprepro -b ~/foreman-reprepro -C rc remove squeeze foreman-proxy * reprepro -b ~/foreman-reprepro -C rc remove squeeze foreman * reprepro -b ~/foreman-reprepro -C rc remove squeeze foreman-sqlite3 * ... all the other foreman-* packages ...
  • Get jenkins to build the packages for the stable repo
