Releases should be requested to LF Releng team via helpdesk@onap.org which will generate an RT ticket and place it in the queue.
Few things to consider:
- RT tickets do not have a priority numbering.
- RT requests are addressed as they come into the queue
- Tickets placed with a "Release" word on the title take precedence against any other requests
- Tickets regarding servers failing, will always be production stopper priority over releases requests.
- Currently, tickets are addressed on 2 time zones: Jessica (PT time), Bengt (AEDT time)
- If any request is urgent please add "URGENT" in the title. (Please do not miss use this
) - Releases cannot be overwritten/removed. If this is still something the PTL wants to do, will need to have a TSC approval.
- For Maven releases (Nexus2), LF can only make releases from staging artifacts not snapshots.
To avoid back and forth on releases requests, we recommend that requests contain the following MUST HAVE info:
- PTL approval (if the request is being submitted by anyone outside the approved committer groups for that component)
- Artifact to be released: Maven and/or Docker (This helps making sure we release the right thing as we have jobs building both Docker and Jars at the same time)
- Explicit version number being intended to be released (This helps a lot to catch discrepancies between that the team wants to release and what Jenkins actually built)
- Jenkins job link with build number (We need the exact build number to get a reference of the revision that was used to build so that we can tag the repo)
Once a release is addressed by LF, a signed tag will also be pushed into the repo which will point to the revision used to build the artifact.
