Release Team Meeting 2024-10-23

Present: @pcreech, @iballou, @ColeHiggins2, @sbible, @Odilhao, @cintrix84, @ekohl

Foreman 3.13

According to Foreman 3.13 Schedule and Planning this week is preparation week and next week is stabilization week. @ColeHiggins2 will post the branching procedure. Starting next week we’ll also meet twice a week until 3.13 is GA: Mondays and Wednesdays.

Some notable changes that are ongoing with regards to distribution support:

  • EL8 is being dropped (in progress)
  • Ubuntu 20.04 has been dropped (merged earlier today)
  • Debian 12: now that puppetserver is available, this is supported. Packages have been built since 3.11, but now we’ll also run pipelines to verify it.
  • With Debian 12 available, 3.13 will deprecate Debian 11 so it can be dropped with Foreman 3.14.

Foreman 3.12

  • Like with 3.13, we’ll also support Debian 12. For now we haven’t backported the instructions.

Foreman 3.11

  • Foreman 3.11.4 in progress: Foreman 3.11.4 Release Process has all details, but right now everything is tagged and release for @pcreech to do the release engineer dance.
  • @ColeHiggins2 doesn’t have a Jenkins account to trigger the release tarballs step. @ekohl will help with this.
  • Like 3.13 & 3.12: Debian 12 is now supported and we’ll announce this with 3.11.4.

Katello 4.15

  • @sbible posted the branching procedure (Katello 4.15 Branching) and is working through it
  • @iballou is working on upgrading from Pulp 3.49 to Pulp 3.63. He has ran it locally for a while and we don’t expect to destabilize too much before stabilization week starts next week.

Katello 4.14

  • @cintrix84 is thinking about creating another z-stream, but nothing has been decided yet

Katello 4.13

  • No release expected given where 4.15 is right now.
