End of Life on an old release series
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Here are the steps that the maintainer should take when an old Tor release
|
|
series reaches End of Life:
|
|
|
|
=== 0. Preliminaries
|
|
|
|
0. A few months before End of Life:
|
|
Write a deprecation announcement.
|
|
Send the announcement out with every new release announcement.
|
|
|
|
1. A month before End of Life:
|
|
Send the announcement to tor-announce, tor-talk, tor-relays, and the
|
|
packagers.
|
|
|
|
2. A few days before End of Life:
|
|
Get at least two of weasel/arma/Sebastian to
|
|
remove the old version number from their approved versions list.
|
|
Give them a few days to do this if you can.
|
|
|
|
=== 1. On the day
|
|
|
|
1. Open tickets to remove the release from:
|
|
- the jenkins builds
|
|
- tor's Travis CI cron jobs
|
|
- chutney's Travis CI tests (#)
|
|
- stem's Travis CI tests (#)
|
|
|
|
2. Close the milestone in Trac. To do this, go to Trac, log in,
|
|
select "Admin" near the top of the screen, then select "Milestones" from
|
|
the menu on the left. Click on the milestone for this version, and
|
|
select the "Completed" checkbox. By convention, we select the date as
|
|
the End of Life date.
|
|
|
|
3. Replace NNN-backport with NNN-unreached-backport in all open trac tickets.
|
|
|
|
4. If there are any remaining tickets in the milestone:
|
|
- merge_ready tickets are for backports:
|
|
- if there are no supported releases for the backport, close the ticket
|
|
- if there is an earlier (LTS) release for the backport, move the ticket
|
|
to that release
|
|
- other tickets should be closed (if we won't fix them) or moved to a
|
|
supported release (if we will fix them)
|
|
|
|
5. Double-check: did the version get un-recommended in the consensus yet?
|
|
If not, don't announce until they have the up-to-date versions, or people
|
|
will get confused.
|
|
|
|
6. Mail the end of life announcement to tor-announce, the packagers list,
|
|
and tor-relays. The current list of packagers is in ReleasingTor.md.
