- Release updates
- NOTE docs release process change for docusaurus - requires a PR (not just a github release)
- 23.7.x series - trialling releasing from a release branch per - (RFC) Reprise: Release Candidates from Main For Every Release
- (Incorporates both Proposal: Quarterly releases from main by default AND Proposal: Avoid Cherry-Picked Releases)
- (from Simon) This did not work well for 23.7.3-RC, hopefully Gary has enough context to discuss the issues, but the main ones were:
- Carrying out the release was complicated and error prone: cherry picking still needed to happen even though it was a release from main - it could be scripted BUT...
- There's a manual part of the process where we have to work out from which commit to start the cherry-pick.
- Discord thread: https://discord.com/channels/905194001349627914/943252457063075880/1153922976736104449
- NOTES ON CALL:
- Good:
- Can merge to main
- Good squash/commit history
- Can easily abort release candidates that fail and does not create candidate docker images that users may pick up by accident
- Bad:
- Different SHAs for cherry picks, more fraught history
- Need admin to disable branch protection rules for new release branches
- Only Gary and Simon have used this release process
- Human required process needs to identify which SHA commit we start the release from
- Need work around automation and process itself
- 23.10.0 -
- Should take this into the automation realm → iterating on scripts for release automation
- Fabio would like to try this process on next release
- We will pilot this release process before making it official - perhaps in 24.1.0
- Good:
- 23.7.3-RC release update from Ameziane - Memory usage investigations on 23.7.3-RC
- Enterprise Releases proposal - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oeI2fq3jBYFyQHj4kHb1OemAzI1L6DRudkEtZRSYabM/
