[ovirt-devel] Automated builds and releases

--kkRamCq5m5VQq0L6 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi everyone! In an effort to improve the project workflow and ease the maintenance and improve the quality of the project releases I want to propose start working towards automated builds and releases, the main ideas are the following: * Stop building differently for release and non-release: - Building only once, testing what you build and release what you test - Don't use two different version strings, one for testing and one for release * Automate the build process, and the release process, directly getting the code from the repos (no manual build tarballs) * Adopt semantic versioning, it's a lot more meaningful than the current sc= heme and fits very well with the above points This will ease and lower the maintenance and the extra work required by maintainers, release engineers (sandro) and infra itself by making releases= as easy as hitting a button at any time. That will allow us to lower the time features and fixes get to the users, and deliver packages and builds that h= ave passed through all the tests we have, instead of rebuilding on another env,= at another time, by someone else, and passing only manual testing. wdyt? --=20 David Caro Red Hat S.L.
