Description

user story

As a conservative user I want stable versions of openQA so that I am not scared away of using openQA by occasional critical issues in the "devel:openQA" version

acceptance criteria

  • AC1: A documented workflow exists, e.g. wiki, e.g. based on "suggested workflow" below
  • AC2: Maintainer have been found
  • AC3: An OBS project exists with stable versions with openQA documentation references

tasks

  • ask openQA team if we really need this
  • talk to aaannz and coolo how it has been done previously with 'devel:openQA:stable' and adopt
  • optional: helper scripts for the workflow
  • optional: Also adopt the workflow for submissions to openSUSE:Factory and maybe Leap and SLE, too

further details

Suggested workflow

okurz suggests the following for anyone who is up to the task to do:

  • on a bi-weekly basis looks for the last git commit of openQA that is not totally broken
  • git log --format=oneline <last_tag>..<the_one_commit_that_should_become_the_new_version> > changelog
  • filter out un-interesting stuff from the changelog, e.g. low-level internal refactoring and fixes for issues that never hit users
  • create tag with message details including the changelog and with an increasing version number, e.g. 4.5, 4.6, …, 4.99, …, 4.165
  • put that as "release" on the github project
  • make OBS package devel:openQA:stable/openQA automatically be triggered by new releases on github with the according version and changelog
  • do the same for os-autoinst
  • every 6w (that would be for each "milestone", covering three releases) collect changelog from all 6 releases (3 openQA + 3 os-autoinst) the interesting parts on an even higher level, blog about it and brag about it
