Release 0.30.1

Information about the release

Relevant series

default

Main reason driving the release

GitLab 14.8.5 Critical Security release

Task list

  • Omnibus

    • merge stabler branches into the relevant branch if needed
    • if new upstream GitLab version, merge the corresponding CE tag, typically x+y+z+ce.0 into the relevant branch. Leave as draft but not in a topic, commit and push
  • Rails application

    The release branch is e.g., heptapod-0-20 while the development branch is heptapod, heptapod-stable or heptapod-oldstable.

    • merge stabler development branches into the development branch (pipelines not really needed).
    • start a topic from the head of the release branch (e.g, from heptapod-0-20)
    • merge the development branch into the release branch if needed. Commit.
    • Merge new upstream GitLab version if needed. Commit.
    • fill in HEPTAPOD_CHANGELOG Be sure to include the changes related to the stabler branches. If needed copy them from the stabler release branches, as these won't get merged.
    • set HEPTAPOD_VERSION
    • commit the changes in version files, push the topic and create a Merge Request targeting the release branch, with automatic merge upon pipeline completion (estimated time between 40 and 90 minutes depending on whether there is a GitLab upstream update)
    • In case of GitLab upstream update, check that the pipeline contains the gitlab-prebuilds job.
    • once the topic is published by CI, pull
    • create a tag on the release branch head without a topic (run hg topic --clear if needed before)
    • push the tag, don't publish it yet. The tag pipeline will push the source tarball to download.h.n and push a commit to reference it and a tag in Omnibus. The resulting pipeline in Omnibus will build the package for Ubuntu, then the Docker image, then trigger a full run of the functional tests on it, as a pipeline on heptapod-tests.
    • Docker image:
      • double check that the heptapod-tests CI jobs did run for the image built in the Omnibus pipeline.
      • retrieve the image built by the Omnibus pipeline from registry.h.n, retag it as octobus/heptapod:x.y.z and octobus/heptapod:latest
      • Docker push for those two image tags.

Finalisations

  • announce the release at least on Twitter and Mastodon
  • publish the changesets in all repositories made during the process (don't forget Omnibus)
  • Create group milestone for next point release, move all remaining issues bearing the milestone of this release to it.
  • Close milestone for this release.
