Greetings TripleO community! At the most recent TripleO community meetings we have discussed formally changing the OpenStack release model for TripleO [1]. The previous released projects can be found here [2]. TripleO has previously released with release-type[‘trailing’, ‘cycle-with-intermediary’]. To quote the release model doc: ‘Trailing deliverables trail the release, so they cannot, by definition, be independent. They need to pick between cycle-with-rc <https://releases.openstack.org/reference/release_models.html#cycle-with-rc> or cycle-with-intermediary <https://releases.openstack.org/reference/release_models.html#cycle-with-intermediary> models.’ We are proposing to update the release-model to ‘independent’. This would give the TripleO community more flexibility in when we choose to cut a release. In turn this would mean less backporting, less upstream and 3rd party resources used by potentially some future releases. To quote the release model doc: ‘Some projects opt to completely bypass the 6-month cycle and release independently. For example, that is the case of projects that support the development infrastructure. The “independent” model describes such projects.’ The discussion here is to merely inform the greater community with regards to the proposal and conversations regarding the release model. This thread is NOT meant to discuss previous releases or their supported status, merely changing the release model here [3] [0] https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/tripleo-meeting-items [1] https://releases.openstack.org/reference/release_models.html [2] https://releases.openstack.org/teams/tripleo.html [3] https://opendev.org/openstack/releases/src/branch/master/deliverables/xena -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
