7 | 56 | pcreech | - [[2.15.2 Release Status]] |
8 | 44 | bizhang | |
9 | 29 | semyers | Following the 2.11 release, Pulp development will have transitioned almost entirely to working on the upcoming Pulp 3 release. Any releases after Pulp 2.11 will be scheduled as-needed. |

11 | 24 | semyers | # Release Stages |
12 | 1 | rbarlow | |
13 | 24 | semyers | **Beta** - Dev believes the release is complete and ready for testing. Any bug fixes related to this release are still acceptable. |
14 | **Release Candidate** (RC) - Only bug fixes related to regressions, upgrade failures, or similar severity are accepted at this point. |
||
15 | **Generally Available** (GA) - Release is generally available in the stable repositories. |
||
16 | |||
17 | ## Release Stage Conditions |
||
18 | |||
19 | Releases spend a minimum time of one week in a given release stage. Subsequent releases in a given stage do not "reset the clock" on this waiting period. Care is taken to verify release-breaking bugs prior to advancing to the next release stage, which usually adds a few days to the release cycle, preventing "rapid-fire" releases. |
||
20 | |||
21 | ### Z Release Beta |
||
22 | |||
23 | There are no release candidates for Z releases. Z releases advance directly to GA after testing reveals no new blocking issues, and have passed acceptance testing by QE (including upgrade testing). |
||
24 | |||
25 | ### Y Release Beta |
||
26 | |||
27 | Y releases advance to RC after testing reveals no new blocking issues, and have passed acceptance testing by QE (not including upgrade testing). |
||
28 | |||
29 | ### Y Release RC |
||
30 | |||
31 | This release stage cannot advance to GA until the upgrade path from previous versions of pulp is confirmed to be working. |
||
32 | |||
33 | 1 | rbarlow | # Y Release Cadence |
34 | 12 | semyers | |
35 | 24 | semyers | Due to the unpredictable timeline of the release schedule once a Beta is released, the Y release cycle begins on the day of the previous **Beta** Y release. While unpredictable, the 12-week period between beta releases should be more than adequate to get that release Generally Available and still allow a few weeks before the next Beta is announced. |
36 | 1 | rbarlow | |
37 | 24 | semyers | - week 0: (Y-1 Release) Previous Y release cycle begins with a Beta Release |
38 | 57 | pcreech | - week 11: (Y Release) Y release cycle begins with a Dev Freeze |
39 | - release branch created for this Y Release, preventing the addition of new features. |
||
40 | - build system adapted to build from release branch |
||
41 | 1 | rbarlow | - master branch now tracks development for next Y release |
42 | 57 | pcreech | - beta is built from release branch |
43 | - week 12: (Y Release) Y Beta Release |
||
44 | 24 | semyers | - week 12+1?: Y release advances through Beta stage to RC as stage conditions are met. Release schedule is no longer time-based. |
45 | 1 | rbarlow | - week 12+2?: Y release advances through RC phase to GA as stage conditions are met. |
46 | |||
47 | 24 | semyers | This release cadence was introduced to coincide with the release of the 2.11.0 Beta on 2016/10/25. If desired, the previous Y release cadence can be seen in the history of this wiki document. |
48 | 1 | rbarlow | |
49 | 57 | pcreech | 2.y releases are no longer time based and therefore are not dependent on when previous y release beta was cut. The rest of the schedule is followed |
50 | |||
51 | 1 | rbarlow | # Z Release Cadence |
52 | |||
53 | The Z release cycle starts with a beta released roughly every three weeks. A beta Z release should begin place two weeks after the previous Z release becomes Generally Available. The Z release will spend a minimum of one week in Beta before being eligible to become Generally Available. |
||
54 | 37 | semyers | |
55 | 58 | pcreech | - week 0: (Z-1) Previous Z Beta Release |
56 | - week 1: (Z-1) Previous Z GA Release |
||
57 | - week 2: Dev Freeze |
||
58 | - week 3: Beta Z Release |
||
59 | - week 4: GA Z Release |
||
60 | 12 | semyers | |
61 | 24 | semyers | Z releases are released as often as possible based on this schedule, but are subject to upgrade testing which often extends the beta period beyond a week. |
62 | |||
63 | # Version Numbering |
||
64 | |||
65 | To the best of our ability, our releases adhere to semantic versioning. The releases in this document correspond to releases that increment a given release component (Y or Z) as defined by semantic versioning: |
||
66 | |||
67 | http://semver.org/#spec-item-2 |
||
68 | |||
69 | In short, a "Z Release" increments the "Z" release component (e.g. 1.0.0 -\> 1.0.1), and indicates no new features; only bug and security fixes have taken place. A "Y Release" increments the "Y" release component (e.g. 1.0.0 -\> 1.1.0), and indicates that new features have been introduced, but backward-incompatible API changes have not taken place. |
||
70 | 1 | rbarlow | |
71 | "X" Releases are not covered by this document. At the moment, they are rare enough as to be handled case-by-case. The next X release, Pulp 3, is currently being actively discussed on the pulp-dev mailing list. If you're interested in participating, go here to subscribe: |
