== Policies == * Pacemaker's **main** branch gets all new development first. There are release branches for major-minor series (such as **2.1** and **3.0**). Only one or two release branches receive any changes; older release branches do not. The latest release series should be released first, then any supported older series. * When the latest series starts a new release cycle, the main branch is pulled into its release branch. This means all main-branch development lands in the latest series' next rc1. * If a change is desired in the latest series after an rc1 is released, or in an older series, a PR backporting it to the desired release branch must be submitted separately. * After rc1 is released, only bug-fix backports should be merged into the release branch (though exceptions can be made in unusual circumstances). After some later rc (typically around rc3), only regression fixes should be merged. == Testing == For the latest release series, this should be done just before rc1, addressing any issues found. Selected parts can be done for later release candidates or older release series as appropriate. Any fixes needed should be merged into the main branch. * Locally generate all **documentation** that will be uploaded to the website, and proof changes since the last release. ** To see changes: `git diff Pacemaker-$LAST_RELEASE.. -- doc/sphinx` ** Ensure that significant new features are **documented** in //Pacemaker Explained// (with "(since <version>)"). ** For a new major series, remove any "(since <version>)" for older versions no longer supported in rolling upgrades. * Verify **OCF agent meta-data** is valid (replacing $OCF_RNG_SCHEMA with the path to ra-api.rng from a local checkout of the OCF-spec source repository): ** `make RNG="$OCF_RNG_SCHEMA" -C agents/ocf validate` * Verify **formatted output** args using [[https://github.com/clumens/fosa/|fosa]]. * Perform **static analysis**. The devel directory has make targets for convenience (`cppcheck`, `clang`, and `coverity` or `coverity-corp`). * Run all **regression tests** including `cts-cli -t agents`, `cts-attrd`, `cts-fencing`, `cts-exec`, and `cts-exec -R` (see `cts/README.md`). * Run a long **CTS lab** (see `cts/README.md`) against a several-node cluster using `cts-lab` or a wrapper (such as `cluster_test` or your own). * Do some **valgrind** testing on typical cluster behavior. `cts-lab` can be used for this, but ignore any test errors, just look at the valgrind results. * Test creating, starting, recovering, and stopping a **bundle** resource. * Perform a **rolling upgrade** from any supported previous version. * Optionally, compare **scheduler timings** against the previous release to make sure there are no large unexplained regressions. From a checkout, run the first command below for the old and new builds, then run the second command to compare the two. Minimize variation however you can (use same host, don't do anything else while running it, maybe try to seed the disk read cache). There still is a good bit of variation from run to run so it is unclear at this point what is significant. ** `PCMK_schema_directory=xml tools/crm_simulate --profile cts/scheduler/xml --repeat 1000 > ~/crm_simulate.$VERSION.out` ** `tools/pcmk_simtimes ~/crm_simulate.*.out -s 0.1 -p 5` * Optionally, check the current buildability in [[https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/ClusterLabs/devel/builds/|COPR]] (default sort starts with the newest builds, optionally use `pacemaker` in the filter box, check at least `Git branch` field on the details page, optionally also git commit encoded in the `R`> part of package identifier) == rc1 only == All changes should be made in the main branch for the latest release series, or the release branch for older release series. * If this is a new major or minor release: ** Create the release branch. ** Ensure CI gets updated to check the new branch. ** Update the [[https://github.com/ClusterLabs/clusterlabs-www|clusterlabs-www]] repo to add `build-$SERIES.txt` and `title-$SERIES.txt` in `src/static/projects/pacemaker/doc/` (see existing examples) ** Update the supported series in `SECURITY.md`. ** Update `epub_identifier` in `doc/sphinx/conf.py.in` ** Create a task to update the //Clusters from Scratch// document once the new series is available in the OS used for examples. ** Run `cts/cts-scheduler --update` (only if the tests already all pass!) to update whitespace usage in expected output (which is ignored by regression tests, but can help manual comparisons) * Ensure the **[[/w/projects/pacemaker/pacemaker_feature_set/ | feature set]]** is correct. ** For the latest release series, make sure that it has been bumped appropriately for code changes in this release (the minor version if any new features require DC support including most schema changes, and the minor-minor version if any new features at all have been added including command-line tool arguments). ** For older release series, ensure it did //not// change in the release branch (and no features were backported that would require it). * Update **translation files**: `make -C po update-po` ** Once the PR is up, tag translators in a comment so they can submit updates before final release if desired (`git log po` will show translators) * Ensure the XML schema version is correct. ** For the latest release series, update **xml/README.md** in the main branch for the Pacemaker-to-schema version mapping if needed.
