Are we waiting for Leo to put up a proposal? Anyone really :) Someone mentioned: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Git You could add a section on 'gitflow' and basically dump your bullet list. Then we can edit it and call a vote . ~Rajani On 31-Jul-2014, at 1:09 pm, Daan Hoogland <daan.hoogl...@gmail.com<mailto:daan.hoogl...@gmail.com>> wrote: I answerred this from my phone but it did't get through so here my comment again: We can't cut a new master from 4.4 without enormous work. I spend two days on getting 4.4 in line with 4.4-forward and as Leo has shown the work for getting all features from master into master will be much greater. So the proposal should be that we maintain 4.4 as traditional and start this work flow from 4.5+ As for the additions you gave; these are reviewer guidelines for my part not requirements to a work flow. In general I am +1 on putting this to vote. On Thu, Jul 31, 2014 at 6:22 AM, Rajani Karuturi <rajani.karut...@citrix.com<mailto:rajani.karut...@citrix.com>> wrote: For the git flow: 1. We agreed to follow git-flow explained here http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/ 2. This is the proposal for first cut 2a. rename 'master' to 'develop’ 2b. branch a new 'master' from ‘4.4’ and update tags with release/4.4.0 2c. branch ‘release/4.5' from the develop 2d. merge ‘release/4.5' to master once the release voting is done. 3. This would be the flow for a hot fix 3a. branch off from the release tag on master. in this case it would be release/4.4.0 3b. commit the fixes in hotfix/4.4.1 3c. do the release 3d. merge to develop 3e. merge to master and update tags 3f. delete hot fix branch 4. for any LTS release create a support branch when required using git-flow support 4a. http://stackoverflow.com/a/16866118/201514 using the git-flow git extension available at https://github.com/nvie/gitflow can reduce the number of commands/errors In addition: 1. Every commit should have unit tests 2. every feature/merge request should have unit and marvin integration tests 3. A commit should not have check style or find bugs issues 4. any coverity issues reported in the new code should be addressed immediately 5. every developer should run the BVT on the simulator before doing a checkin (https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Validating+check-ins+for+your+local+changes%2C+using+Simulator<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Validating+check-ins+for+your+local+changes,+using+Simulator>) (This I am not very sure. May be we should let jenkins handle it and report integration failures if any?) Please add/amend if I missed anything. Can we call for a vote on this and freeze this without further delay? ~Rajani -- Daan
