[kata-dev] [kata-release] release cadence, process

Yes, IIRC we agreed (during Arch Committee meeting) about releasing as much 1.1.X releases as we want since they will only include bug fixes.

Now, on a side note, we'll hit the topic of creating a new branch when we'll have a change breaking the compatibility, but that we'll want to still get the bug fixes into new releases. That's where the complexity starts and where we need to decide about a backporting plan.

Thanks,
Sebastien

Assuming that the release isn’t changing any APIs, etc.  If its just a bug fix, it would allow this.

If any incompat is introduced it’d be a 0.x.0 update.

Based on your 0.0.x comment, I think I know, but am verifying...

This would still allow upgrading some components while running older components on the same host?

Thanks,
Kevin

Carlos et al,

I am proposing that we continue to roll releases; we are having a good amount of fixes merge and I think it warrants having a regular weekly cadence (likely a 0.0.x update).  I believe we discussed this before – let’s start driving it.

Carlos, Raju, Akshay – from prior emails/request for volunteers, you were all listed for folks to help with packaging and release.  Carlos, is the process defined enough that you think we can start rotating the release duties among more stakeholders?

WDYT?

Thx,
Eric
