title: Generalized Prep Checklist for Upcoming Releases

|
|
|
This SOP contains general checklists required by SIG/Core to prepare and plan
|
|
|
|
|
for the upcoming release. This work, in general, is required to be done on a
|
|
|
|
|
routine basis, even months out before the next major or minor release, as it
|
|
|
|
|
requires monitoring of upstream's (CentOS Stream) work to ensure Rocky Linux
|
|
|
|
|
will remain ready and compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

## General Upstream Monitoring
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is expected to monitor the following repositories upstream, as these will
|
|
|
|
|
indicate what is coming up for a given major or point release. These
|
|
|
|
|
repositories are found at the Red Hat gitlab.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* centos-release
|
|
|
|
|
* centos-logos
|
|
|
|
|
* pungi-centos
|
|
|
|
|
* comps
|
|
|
|
|
* module-defaults
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These repositories can be monitored by setting to "all activity" on the bell
|
|
|
|
|
icon.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Upon changes to the upstream repositories, SIG/Core member should analyze the
|
|
|
|
|
changes and apply the same to the lookahead branches:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* rocky-release
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Manual changes required
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* rocky-logos
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Manual changes required
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* pungi-rocky
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Run `sync-from-upstream`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* peridot-rocky
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Configurations are generated using peridot tools
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* comps
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Run `sync-from-upstream`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* rocky-module-defaults
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Run `sync-from-upstream`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## General Downward Merging
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Repositories that generally track for LookAhead and Beta releases will flow
|
|
|
|
|
downward to the stable branch. For example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
* rXs / rXlh
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|----> rX-beta
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|----> rX
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This applies to any specific rocky repo, such as comps, pungi, peridot-config,
|
|
|
|
|
and so on. As it is expected some repos will deviate in commit history, it is OK
|
2022-10-29 23:58:40 +00:00
|
|
|
to force push, under the assumption that changes made in the lower branch exists
|
|
|
|
|
in the upper branch. That way you can avoid changes/functionality being reverted
|
|
|
|
|
on accident.
