Release team meeting 2023-10-18

Present: @ekohl, @pcreech, @Griffin-Sullivan, @iballou, @damoore

Foreman 3.9

There has been some talk about extending the stabilization week to a longer feature freeze. This would include the week where installer modules are released. Informally getting all changes in before the end of this month has been mentioned. This is mainly to avoid the delays we had with Foreman 3.8 where some larger changes were merged shortly before branching.

Foreman 3.8

Foreman 3.7.1

  • Planned for next Tuesday (2023-10-24). @Griffin-Sullivan will post the release procedure (and perform it)

Foreman 3.6

  • Will be EOL after 3.8.0 GA is announced

Katello 4.11

  • Nightly had outdated code, from Oct 6th so about a week old. This is likely because katello-master-source-release [Jenkins] failed a few times and katello-master-package-release [Jenkins] is picking up the build that passed before last. @ekohl recalls this has been seen before, but usually isn’t noticeable because we have sufficient new source builds.
  • Previously Katello didn’t have a more formal stabilization week. We’d like to make Katello follow the Foreman schedule to avoid delays.

Katello 4.10

Katello 4.9

Katello 4.8

  • Will be EOL once Katello 4.10.0 GA is announced
