Understanding the release cycle
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The development release cycle is two to four weeks long. Each cycle
|
|
freezes the master development branch and applies `integration and
|
|
upgrade tests <https://github.com/ceph/ceph-qa-suite>`_ for the
|
|
duration of one cycle before it is released and the next release's
|
|
code is frozen for testing. Once released, there is no effort to
|
|
backport fixes; developer focus in on the next development release
|
|
which is usually only a few weeks away.
|
|
|
|
There are three to four stable releases a year. Each stable release
|
|
will receive a name (e.g., 'Jewel') and bug fix backports at least
|
|
until the next stable release is out.
|
|
|
|
Every other stable releases is a LTS (Long Term Stable) and will
|
|
receive updates until two LTS are published. For instance Dumpling is
|
|
retired when Hammer is published, Firefly is retired when Jewel is
|
|
published etc. The rationale is that backports to a LTS (Firefly for
|
|
instance) are expected to happen until the next LTS is published
|
|
(Jewel is the LTS following Hammer), to fix bugs and possibly
|
|
backport important features. After the next LTS is published,
|
|
backports are still expected to fix bugs with a focus on whatever can
|
|
prevent upgrades to the next LTS (in our example, fixes to Dumpling
|
|
were published after Firefly was released and until Hammer was
|
|
published, primarily to ensure Dumpling cluster can smoothly migrate
|
|
to Firefly).
|
|
|
|
* Long Term Stable : until the next two LTS are published
|
|
* Stable release : until the next stable release is published
|
|
* Development / testing release : no backports
|
|
|
|
For each stable release:
|
|
|
|
* `Integration and upgrade tests
|
|
<https://github.com/ceph/ceph-qa-suite>`_ are run on a regular basis
|
|
and `their results <http://pulpito.ceph.com/>`_ analyzed by Ceph
|
|
developers.
|
|
* `Issues <http://tracker.ceph.com/projects/ceph/issues?query_id=27>`_
|
|
fixed in the development branch (master) are scheduled to be backported.
|
|
* When an issue found in the stable release is `reported
|
|
<http://tracker.ceph.com/projects/ceph/issues/new>`_, it is
|
|
triaged by Ceph developers.
|
|
* The `stable releases and backport team <http://tracker.ceph.com/projects/ceph-releases>`_
|
|
publishes ``point releases`` including fixes that have been backported to the stable release.
|
|
|
|
In the timeline, the life time of a LTS is calculated to be
|
|
approximately 18 months after the month of the first release. For
|
|
instance, Dumpling is published August 2013 and 18 months starting
|
|
September 2013 is February 2015, therefore by March 2015 Dumpling
|
|
should be retired. The lifetime of a release may vary because it
|
|
depend on how quickly the stable releases are published. For instance
|
|
although Dumpling theoritical retirement was March 2015, it was
|
|
extended to May 2015.
|
|
|
|
Release numbers conventions
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
The first Ceph release back in Jan of 2008 was 0.1. That made sense at
|
|
the time. The versioning scheme did not change until April 2015,
|
|
when 0.94.1 (the first Hammer point release) was published. To avoid reaching
|
|
0.99 (and 0.100 or 1.00?) we have a new strategy.
|
|
|
|
* x.0.z - development releases (for early testers and the brave at heart)
|
|
* x.1.z - release candidates (for test clusters, brave users)
|
|
* x.2.z - stable/bugfix releases (for users)
|
|
|
|
``x`` will start at 9 for Infernalis (``I`` is the 9th letter), making
|
|
our first development release of the 9th release cycle 9.0.0.
|
|
Subsequent development releases will be 9.0.1, 9.0.2, etc.
|
|
|
|
After a couple months we'll have a 9.1.0 (and maybe 9.1.1) release candidate.
|
|
|
|
A few weeks after that we'll have the Infernalis release 9.2.0, followed
|
|
by stable bug fix updates 9.2.1, 9.2.2, etc., and then begin work on the
|
|
Jewel (10.y.z) release.
