[release][puppet] Can we retire old stable branches ?
Hi release team, The puppet-ceph repository in Puppet OpenStack project currently follows the independent release model. This is because the module is more aligned with Ceph releases rather than OpenStack release. In the past, we created a stable branches per Ceph stable release and we currently have the following three stable branches. - stable/jewel - stable/mimic - stable/luminous However we no longer use these branches because the old stable branches (eg train) using these old releases are already EOL. So I'm wondering if someone from the release team can create -eol tag from the latest commits and remove these branches. Ideally we may be able to create a release from the latest commits, but I doublt we can merge any patches cleanly to these ancient branches so I tend to just add -eol tag instead, assuming no one may need releases for these old contents. Thank you, Takashi Kajinami
Hello, This is a very reasonable action +1 – hopefully release team can help us out with this. Thanks Takashi! Best regards Tobias
