| (Initial planned release date: 2021-10-12) 1) Ensure “Versions & Dependencies” pages for Puppet Platform and puppet-agent are up to date in Confluence. Reach out to teams as needed to confirm that the fix versions listed are those that we intend to ship with the release. 2) Ensure release leads for Puppet Platform and puppet-agent are correct and update the invitiation for the release retrospective to include them. Reach out to teams as needed to confirm lead assignments. 3) For each component project of Puppet Platform and puppet-agent, ensure there is a next version if needed. Often this will be the next Z in an X.Y.Z series. However, if we are jumping to a new X or Y release that skips an existing Z version in JIRA, make sure those tickets are reassigned to the correct fix version, and the unneeded version is deleted. For example, if we have tickets with a fix version of 4.3.3, but we’re going from 4.3.2 to 4.4.0, then we need to reassign the tickets assigned to 4.3.3 and delete the 4.3.2 version from JIRA. 4) Create public filters for inclusion in the release notes and/or announcement. These allow easy tracking as new bugs come in for a particular version and allow everyone to see the list of changes in a release. Include links to the filters as a comment on this issue before resolving it. 5) Update the “master” filters for Puppet Platform 6.25.0 and puppet-agent 6.25.0 to reference the “Fixed in” filters created above. 6) Update the community feedback filter for Puppet Platform X.y to reference the “Introduced in” filter created above. |
