Re: [DISCUSS] 4.15.2.0

Hi All,

Update - there are no outstanding issues or PRs for 4.15.2.0 at the time of writing this email:
https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/milestones/4.15.2.0

I'll run smoketests over the weekend and if there are no outstanding issues/PRs or objections I'll cut 4.15.2.0 RC1 early next week. Assuming 4.15.2.0 is going to be a relatively quick and stable minor release, I hope it won't interfere with the ongoing major 4.16 release effort.


Regards.

All,

Since nobody has objected or volunteered I would continue as RM for 4.15.2.0 release. The total no. of outstanding issues and PRs are around 20 with about 80 issues/PRs already merged/closed towards the milestone. The most recent test matrix smoketests on 4.15 health PR has also passed.

To avoid conflicting timeline with 4.16 I propose to cut RC1 by end of this week or next week as soon as any outstanding blocker/critical/major bug fix PRs are reviewed/tested/merged. I request comments from the community on this and if anybody wants to report any blocker/critical issues/bugs found in 4.15.1.0.

Thanks and regards.

Great thanks all, looks like we all think doing a quick and stable 4.15.2.0 would be a good idea. Any volunteers for RM? I'm happy do it or help the volunteer as well.

Regards.

Subject: [DISCUSS] 4.15.2.0

All,

I want to kick a thread to discuss and gather interest from the community on doing a 4.15.2.0 release, before Nicolas (our RM) cuts 4.16.0.0 RC1 around the end of Sept '21.

We can keep the scope really tight to include only important fixes, I see about 50 closed issues/PRs already on the 4.15.2.0 milestone and some 30 remaining:
https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/milestone/20

I'm hoping the 4.15.2.0 release can be a quick stable minor release, I can do it and any other volunteer RM may do it. Whoever does it, here's my proposal is:

  *   Limit the scope to very specific do-able bug-fixes up to end the month - so gives us roughly 2 weeks
  *   Cut RC1 in the first week of Sept
  *   Assuming the RC1 would be stable enough as 4.15 branch is quite stable, worst case we've another RC2
  *   Conclude release work by mid or end of Sept before 4.16.0.0 RC1 is cut; so 4.15.2.0 release work doesn't cause delay for 4.16.0.0

Thoughts?


Thanks and regards.
