-Development workflows
-=====================
-
-This page explains the workflows a developer is expected to follow to
-implement the goals that are part of the Ceph release cycle. It does not
-go into technical details and is designed to provide a high level view
-instead. Each chapter is about a given goal such as ``Merging bug
-fixes or features`` or ``Publishing point releases and backporting``.
-
-A key aspect of all workflows is that none of them blocks another. For
-instance, a bug fix can be backported and merged to a stable branch
-while the next point release is being published. For that specific
-example to work, a branch should be created to avoid any
-interference. In practice it is not necessary for Ceph because:
-
-* there are few people involved
-* the frequency of backports is not too high
-* the reviewers, who know a release is being published, are unlikely
- to merge anything that may cause issues
-
-This ad-hoc approach implies the workflows are changed on a regular
-basis to adapt. For instance, ``quality engineers`` were not involved
-in the workflow to publish ``dumpling`` point releases. The number of
-commits being backported to ``firefly`` made it impractical for developers
-tasked to write code or fix bugs to also run and verify the full suite
-of integration tests. Inserting ``quality engineers`` makes it
-possible for someone to participate in the workflow by analyzing test
-results.
-
-The workflows are not enforced when they impose an overhead that does
-not make sense. For instance, if the release notes for a point release
-were not written prior to checking all integration tests, they can be
-commited to the stable branch and the result sent for publication
-without going through another run of integration tests.
-

-
-Four times a year, the development roadmap is discussed online during
-the `Ceph Developer Summit <http://tracker.ceph.com/projects/ceph/wiki/Planning#Ceph-Developer-Summit>`_. A
-new stable release (hammer, infernalis, jewel ...) is published at the same
-frequency. Every other release (firefly, hammer, jewel...) is a `Long Term
-Stable (LTS) <../../releases>`_. See `Understanding the release cycle
-<../../releases#understanding-the-release-cycle>`_ for more information.
-
-Merging bug fixes or features
-=============================
-
-The development branch is ``master`` and the workflow followed by all
-developers can be summarized as follows:
-
-* The developer prepares a series of commits
-* The developer submits the series of commits via a pull request
-* A reviewer is assigned the pull request
-* When the pull request looks good to the reviewer, it is merged into
- an integration branch by the tester
-* After a successful run of integration tests, the pull request is
- merged by the tester
-
-The ``developer`` is the author of a series of commits. The
-``reviewer`` is responsible for providing feedback to the developer on
-a regular basis and the developer is invited to ping the reviewer if
-nothing happened after a week. After the ``reviewer`` is satisfied
-with the pull request, (s)he passes it to the ``tester``. The
-``tester`` is responsible for running teuthology integration tests on
-the pull request. If nothing happens within a month the ``reviewer`` is
-invited to ping the ``tester``.
-
-Resolving bug reports and implementing features
-===============================================
-
-All bug reports and feature requests are in the `issue tracker
-<http://tracker.ceph.com>`_ and the workflow can be summarized as
-follows:
-
-* The reporter creates the issue with priority ``Normal``
-* A developer may pick the issue right away
-* During a bi-weekly bug scrub, the team goes over all new issue and
- assign them a priority
-* The bugs with higher priority are worked on first
-
-Each ``team`` is responsible for a project, managed by leads_.
-
-.. _leads: index#Leads
-
-The ``developer`` assigned to an issue is responsible for it. The
-status of an open issue can be:
-
-* ``New``: it is unclear if the issue needs work.
-* ``Verified``: the bug can be reproduced or showed up multiple times
-* ``In Progress``: the developer is working on it this week
-* ``Pending Backport``: the fix needs to be backported to the stable
- releases listed in the backport field
-
-For each ``Pending Backport`` issue, there exists at least one issue
-in the ``Backport`` tracker to record the work done to cherry pick the
-necessary commits from the master branch to the target stable branch.
-See `the backporter manual
-<http://tracker.ceph.com/projects/ceph-releases/wiki/HOWTO>`_ for more
-information.
-
-Running and interpreting teuthology integration tests
-=====================================================
-
-The :doc:`/dev/sepia` runs `teuthology
-<https://github.com/ceph/teuthology/>`_ integration tests `on a regular basis <http://tracker.ceph.com/projects/ceph-releases/wiki/HOWTO_monitor_the_automated_tests_AKA_nightlies#Automated-tests-AKA-nightlies>`_ and the
-results are posted on `pulpito <http://pulpito.ceph.com/>`_ and the
-`ceph-qa mailing list <https://ceph.com/irc/>`_.
-
-* The job failures are `analyzed by quality engineers and developers
- <http://tracker.ceph.com/projects/ceph-releases/wiki/HOWTO_monitor_the_automated_tests_AKA_nightlies#List-of-suites-and-watchers>`_
-* If the cause is environmental (e.g. network connectivity), an issue
- is created in the `sepia lab project
- <http://tracker.ceph.com/projects/lab/issues/new>`_
-* If the bug is known, a pulpito URL to the failed job is added to the issue
-* If the bug is new, an issue is created
-
-The ``quality engineer`` is either a developer or a member of the QE
-team. There is at least one integration test suite per project:
-
-* `rgw <https://github.com/ceph/ceph/tree/master/qa/suites/rgw>`_ suite
-* `CephFS <https://github.com/ceph/ceph/tree/master/qa/suites/fs>`_ suite
-* `rados <https://github.com/ceph/ceph/tree/master/qa/suites/rados>`_ suite
-* `rbd <https://github.com/ceph/ceph/tree/master/qa/suites/rbd>`_ suite
-
-and many others such as
-
-* `upgrade <https://github.com/ceph/ceph/tree/master/qa/suites/upgrade>`_ suites
-* `power-cyle <https://github.com/ceph/ceph/tree/master/qa/suites/powercycle>`_ suite
-* ...
-
-Preparing a new release
-=======================
-
-A release is prepared in a dedicated branch, different from the
-``master`` branch.
-
-* For a stable releases it is the branch matching the release code
- name (dumpling, firefly, etc.)
-* For a development release it is the ``next`` branch
-
-The workflow expected of all developers to stabilize the release
-candidate is the same as the normal development workflow with the
-following differences:
-
-* The pull requests must target the stable branch or next instead of
- master
-* The reviewer rejects pull requests that are not bug fixes
-* The ``Backport`` issues matching a teuthology test failure and set
- with priority ``Urgent`` must be fixed before the release
-
-Cutting a new stable release
-============================
-
-A new stable release can be cut when:
-
-* all ``Backport`` issues with priority ``Urgent`` are fixed
-* integration and upgrade tests run successfully
-
-Publishing a new stable release implies a risk of regression or
-discovering new bugs during the upgrade, no matter how carefully it is
-tested. The decision to cut a release must take this into account: it
-may not be wise to publish a stable release that only fixes a few
-minor bugs. For instance if only one commit has been backported to a
-stable release that is not a LTS, it is better to wait until there are
-more.
-
-When a stable release is to be retired, it may be safer to
-recommend an upgrade to the next LTS release instead of
-proposing a new point release to fix a problem. For instance, the
-``dumpling`` v0.67.11 release has bugs related to backfilling which have
-been fixed in ``firefly`` v0.80.x. A backport fixing these backfilling
-bugs has been tested in the draft point release ``dumpling`` v0.67.12 but
-they are large enough to introduce a risk of regression. As ``dumpling``
-is to be retired, users suffering from this bug can
-upgrade to ``firefly`` to fix it. Unless users manifest themselves and ask
-for ``dumpling`` v0.67.12, this draft release may never be published.
-
-* The ``Ceph lead`` decides a new stable release must be published
-* The ``release master`` gets approval from all leads
-* The ``release master`` writes and commits the release notes
-* The ``release master`` informs the ``quality engineer`` that the
- branch is ready for testing
-* The ``quality engineer`` runs additional integration tests
-* If the ``quality engineer`` discovers new bugs that require an
- ``Urgent Backport``, the release goes back to being prepared, it
- was not ready after all
-* The ``quality engineer`` informs the ``publisher`` that the branch
- is ready for release
-* The ``publisher`` `creates the packages and sets the release tag
- <../release-process>`_
-
-The person responsible for each role is:
-
-* Sage Weil is the ``Ceph lead``
-* Sage Weil is the ``release master`` for major stable releases
- (``firefly`` 0.80, ``hammer`` 0.94 etc.)
-* Loic Dachary is the ``release master`` for stable point releases
- (``firefly`` 0.80.10, ``hammer`` 0.94.1 etc.)
-* Yuri Weinstein is the ``quality engineer``
-* Alfredo Deza is the ``publisher``
-
-Cutting a new development release
-=================================
-
-The publication workflow of a development release is the same as
-preparing a new release and cutting it, with the following
-differences:
-
-* The ``next`` branch is reset to the tip of ``master`` after
- publication
-* The ``quality engineer`` is not required to run additional tests,
- the ``release master`` directly informs the ``publisher`` that the
- release is ready to be published.
-
-Publishing point releases and backporting
-=========================================
-
-The publication workflow of the point releases is the same as
-preparing a new release and cutting it, with the following
-differences:
-
-* The ``backport`` field of each issue contains the code name of the
- stable release
-* There is exactly one issue in the ``Backport`` tracker for each
- stable release to which the issue is backported
-* All commits are cherry-picked with ``git cherry-pick -x`` to
- reference the original commit
-
-See `the backporter manual
-<http://tracker.ceph.com/projects/ceph-releases/wiki/HOWTO>`_ for more
-information.
