- Snapshot repo: used for merged artifacts. After the committer has performed the code review (+2), has merged the code and the build is successful, the build artifact is within the Snapshot repo. It is expected to have multiple snapshots for a single repo per day. All artifacts have same version number. The artifact triggers CSIT testing.
- Staging repo: used for Release candidate. The Staging artifacts are used primarily by the Team for their own testing and for E2E Release testing. The Staging artifacts are not meant for public consumption. Once a day, a new clean build is automatically performed. All Staging artifacts have same version number.
- Release repo: this is the place where the project Team (or Linux Fondation Foundation Releng Team) stores the artifacts that are deemed stabled for being consumed by the other project teams. Each team decides when to release. It is not expected to get a new release every day. No TSC approval is required for getting a new release artifact.
