With the start of branchless tempest there are no long any tempest releases, but instead incremental tags for each OpenStack release milestones. The tag should be incremented to coincide with either a new OpenStack release, or the EOL of a supported stable branch. For example, the tempest-2 tag was added at the Juno release and was used to mark adding support for the Kilo release. The next tag tempest-3 will be used to either signify the start of L development or the EOL of icehouse, whichever occurs first.

Hacking has a branch for every major.minor release. For example: 0.9.x and 0.8.x.

OpenStack QA releases its tooling as per each tool release model and also needs to take care of the new branch set on devstack and grenade. This page explain the process and tasks QA team needs to do on every OpenStack release.

Project Releases

Feature Freeze

QA projects follow different release models (explained in the next section) so feature freeze is not applicable to all of them. We do feature freeze for below projects only:

  • Tempest: Week R-3 (Hard StringFreeze) of cycle release schedule. Example Victoria Release Schedule
  • Devstack: Week R-3 (Hard StringFreeze) of cycle release schedule.
  • Grenade: Week R-3 (Hard StringFreeze) of cycle release schedule.
  • Patrole: Week R-3 (Hard StringFreeze) of cycle release schedule.


Project with release mode: cycle-with-intermediary

Tempest

Patrole

Project with release mode: independent

Below projects are with independent release and not associated with OpenStack cycle release.

Project with no release

Below projects are with no release and maintained as master version only.

  • coverage2sql
  • devstack-plugin-ceph
  • devstack-plugin-cookiecutter
  • devstack-plugin-open-cas
  • devstack-plugin-nfs
  • devstack-vagrant
  • karma-subunit-reporter
  • openstack-health
  • os-performance-tools
  • stackviz
  • tempest-stress
  • tempest-plugin-cookiecutter


Projects with only Branches

For the most part, Devstack and Grenade only have branches, which need to be cut when other projects get stable/* branches during a release.

  • devstack-plugin-container: hanled by devstack-plugin-container team.

Once all done then you deserve to go for beer \o/
