At the workshop in the release / roadmap working session we agreed that around November 16th we see how all the distro's are making out in creating a release for oVirt and set the date for the first community release. Please have your comments / feedback for that time period, at which point I will start the release discussions. regards Carl.

Hi All, Not sure where we stand with the first release but I think we should take into account the jboss version we use before releasing. We currently deploy on jboss as 5, but we started working on deployment on jboss as 7. Releasing on AS 5 and then moving to AS 7 might require some upgrade path and it is a time consuming task to do that. Since we already started working on the deployment on jboss AS 7, I think it might worth holding back first 'formal' release until it is done. It will help us avoiding upgrade support and get all the benefits of using as7 (startup time, memory/cpu foot-print etc.) - get better reviews? Livnat

I am not sure we MUST support upgrade path, specifically in such early version.

I think we should aim for a fast first release, meaning ASAP on jboss 5 The questions are: 1 - what is a release? a tag in all the repos to be picked up by each distro ? 2 - do we have any criteria on what is good enough for a release ? or any point in time that everybody feels ready? Thanks Barak Azulay

I would say a release needs to be at least. 1. a tag in the repos 2. tars posted on the site for easy download, build and install, with instructions. 3. these tars have basically been tested. 4. optional binary builds for different distros linked from the release page 5. a set of any relevant release notes. Carl.

They should also be signed as well... On Nov 29, 2011, at 1:14 PM, Carl Trieloff wrote:

Not sure what the definition of 'tested' is, probably worth expanding it a bit. Y.

I would like to believe the code should pass smoke tests at all times. When it doesn't, it's a regression we should strive to fix asap. Y.

Following this discussion, I've created http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Releases/First_Release in order to track the schedule/gaps/requirements for the first oVirt release. Thoughts? Ofer.

WRT- Signing: Who should sign tarballs? We should KISS (keep it standard & simple...) ie- 1. All tarballs should have md5 / other hash published in the downloads page and possibly a hash file with the tarball. 2. Each distro will sign its packages in its own means, such as signing key, certificate, etc. On Wednesday 30 November 2011 12:49:01 Ofer Schreiber wrote:

+1 Though for the case of oVirt Node, since the ISO isn't in Fedora officially, all we will provide is the md5 of the ISO itself. Perry

SHA512 please e.g. http://collectd.org/files/SHA512SUM

It would be nice if upstream release manager could sign release tag in git. Alan

this can be fuzzy, but on other projects it is. Have a few people down load the tar, follow the instructions and get it installed and running + passing the tests that are checked in. Carl.

Carl. _______________________________________________ Arch mailing list Arch@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/arch Have we defined the process for approving the release (like having a vote which gets at least 3 +1's and no -1's)?

Hi All, Not sure where we stand with the first release but I think we should take into account the jboss version we use before releasing.
We currently deploy on jboss as 5, but we started working on deployment on jboss as 7. Releasing on AS 5 and then moving to AS 7 might require some upgrade path and it is a time consuming task to do that.
Since we already started working on the deployment on jboss AS 7, I think it might worth holding back first 'formal' release until it is done. It will help us avoiding upgrade support and get all the benefits of using as7 (startup time, memory/cpu foot-print etc.) - get better reviews?
Please note that JBoss AS 5 has not been updated with any async security patches since it was released in 2009. There are multiple known high impact security flaws that affect it. I would prefer we only ship against AS 7, as it incorporates fixes for these flaws. David
