Hi Alin, There are a few notes here [1] including the pre-Apache release checklist. However, for the "pre-release" process, what has been done for earlier releases is the following: 1. Agree on a date to create the release branches. (I suggest ASAP for this one) 2. Keep accepting PRs on master and only backport bugfixes to the release branches. (this soak period is usually 1 week) 3. Start the release process.
The release process includes creating the release notes, cutting the first RC0 and calling for a vote. We have [2] for instructions on validating a staged release. Creating the release notes is what takes most of our time. For the past releases working with a Github Project helped a lot and allowed us to collaborate effectively. However, Brennan has a tool that automates most of this. He used it in the latest release. 1. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NUTTX/Releases 2. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NUTTX/Validating+a+staged+Release On Thu, Apr 1, 2021 at 5:49 PM Alin Jerpelea <jerpe...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi Abdelaif, > > I think that we are in a better position now form a license perspective and > I can take the role as release manager for 10.1 > > > Can you please point me to the checklist for the release > > Best regards > Alin > > > On Fri, Mar 19, 2021 at 8:46 PM Abdelatif Guettouche < > abdelatif.guettou...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > Our latest release was on December 6th.
