Preface

CloudStack is an open source project that lives and grows thanks to the hard work of a large number of contributors (of both source code and documentation). The code and documentation changes suggested by community members are taken by a subset of committers who have volunteered to maintain and nurture specific sections of the CloudStack project.

Code Testing and Code Quality

...

In the case where somebody has stated they would work on the issue, and a significant period of time has passed without a patch submission, the maintainer should contact the individual to check for an update. If, after 30 days, the maintainer is unable to contact the submitter, the bug/feature should be released for others to submit patches against.

Release Workflow

CloudStack intends to produce stable "General Availability" ("GA") for public consumption three times per calendar year. Approximately one month before an intended release date, the CloudStack development community will begin preparing for the GA release by creating Release Candidate ("RC") releases

...

Keep in mind that both Release Candidate and General Availability releases require voting, as described in the Voting Voting section below.

Release Candidates

...

For all CloudStack releases (RCs or GA), a formal VOTE binding upon Apache is required before release. The only time formal voting is required is for approving a formal release of CloudStack. While in incubation, CloudStack will need at least 3 positive votes from Apache Incubator PMC members. Details about this process can be found  here.

The standard submission/review/commit life-cycle should exist without need to cast votes. In the event of a disagreement, either the maintainer or contributor may bring the issue to the attention of the CloudStack Development list.

...

  1. The community member has gpg installed locally, and has added their public key to the KEYS file in the project's source repo.
  2. The community member has commit rights on the CloudStack git repo.
  3. The community member has commit rights for the CloudStack svn repo (for updating the cloudstack website).
  4. The community member has commit rights for the https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/cloudstack svn repo.

CloudStack RC's are distributed via the ASF mirroring system, and are provided to the community via the http://incubatorcloudstack.apache.org/cloudstack/downloads.html page. In order to create the release candidate, you can follow the steps below to get it hosted within the ASF mirrors.

...

Code Block
# tools/build/build_asf.sh -h
usage: tools/build/build_asf.sh -v version [-b branch] [-s source dir] [-o output dir] [-t [-u]] [-h]
  -v sets the version
  -b sets the branch (defaults to 'master')
  -s sets the source directory (defaults to ~/incubator-cloudstack/)
  -o sets the output directory (defaults to ~/cs-asf-build/)
  -t tags the git repo with the version
     -u sets the certificate ID to sign the tag with (if not provided, the default key is attempted)
  -h

Example:

# tools/build/build_asf.sh -v 4.0.0RC1 -b master -s ~/incubator-cloudstack -o ~/rc1 -t -u XXXXXXXX

The output directory specified (or defaulted) should now contain the following files:

Code Block

KEYS
cloudstack-source-4.0.0RC1.tar.gz
cloudstack-source-4.0.0RC1.tar.gz.asc
cloudstack-source-4.0.0RC1.tar.gz.md5
cloudstack-source-4.0.0RC1.tar.gz.sha
cloudstack-source-4.0.0RC1.zip
cloudstack-source-4.0.0RC1.zip.asc
cloudstack-source-4.0.0RC1.zip.md5
cloudstack-source-4.0.0RC1.zip.sha

You should verify the archive contents now, to confirm that they have packaged correctly. Once verified, it's time to push them into the ASF dist repo:

Check out the https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/cloudstack folder. Copy these files to that folder, issue an svn add, and svn commit with a sane message about the Release Candidate number.

...

After the mirrors have caught up, the cloudstack site needs to be edited. Check out https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/cloudstack/site/trunk/content/cloudstack/ and edit the downloads.mdtext file's RC section to point to the new RC version.

Commit that site edit, and review it here: http://cloudstack.staging.apache.org/cloudstack/downloads.html

Once satisfied, use the ASF CMS to publish that page (from here: https://cms.apache.org/cloudstack/publish?diff=1 )
