Review guide

Key changes

  • simplified release process -> RELEASE_PROCEDURE.md
    • no release candidates
    • no GIT_VERSION nor VERSION
    • no source package as part of release
    • no commit signing
    • no announcement
  • closed "Issues" tab on GitHub and full transition to track all issues in Jira. Except for legacy tickets in pmem/pmdk.
  • completing the shift towards fully support only one user: the DAOS Project.
    • CONTRIBUTING.md
    • README.md
  • stopping endorsement of no-NDCTL PMDK compilation

Minor changes

  • version always follows major.minor.patch scheme.
  • changing all relevant pmem/pmdk references to daos-stack/pmdk

Rationale

  1. no release candidates

There is no extra pre-release validation. Branch when it is prepared for release can be validated directly as part of the daily / weekly validation cycle and only when the validation is completed the release can take place. So, there is no need to create a release candidate.

  1. no GIT_VERSION nor VERSION
  • We ceased to support customers who download source code archive instead of cloning the repository. When the repository is cloned all needed version information is already there.
  • It also means no source package will be longer published as part of the release.
  • simplified utils/version.sh -> only git describe --always
    • --always is necessary because shallow clones do not clone tags.
  1. no commit signing
  • When the tag is properly signed and published it already guarantees the authenticity of the commit.
  • The commit's signature cannot survive the pull request process. Please note SHA is changed in this process. So signing a commit which goes through a pull request is pointless.
