-Understanding the release cycle
--------------------------------
-
-The development release cycle is two to four weeks long. Each cycle
-freezes the master development branch and applies `integration and
-upgrade tests <https://github.com/ceph/ceph-qa-suite>`_ for the
-duration of one cycle before it is released and the next release's
-code is frozen for testing. Once released, there is no effort to
-backport fixes; developer focus in on the next development release
-which is usually only a few weeks away.
-
-There are three to four stable releases a year. Each stable release
-will receive a name (e.g., 'Jewel') and bug fix backports at least
-until the next stable release is out.
-
-Every other stable releases is a LTS (Long Term Stable) and will
-receive updates until two LTS are published. For instance Dumpling is
-retired when Hammer is published, Firefly is retired when Jewel is
-published etc. The rationale is that backports to a LTS (Firefly for
-instance) are expected to happen until the next LTS is published
-(Jewel is the LTS following Hammer), to fix bugs and possibly
-backport important features. After the next LTS is published,
-backports are still expected to fix bugs with a focus on whatever can
-prevent upgrades to the next LTS (in our example, fixes to Dumpling
-were published after Firefly was released and until Hammer was
-published, primarily to ensure Dumpling cluster can smoothly migrate
-to Firefly).
-
-* Long Term Stable : until the next two LTS are published
-* Stable release : until the next stable release is published
-* Development / testing release : no backports
-
-For each stable release:
-
-* `Integration and upgrade tests
- <https://github.com/ceph/ceph-qa-suite>`_ are run on a regular basis
- and `their results <http://pulpito.ceph.com/>`_ analyzed by Ceph
- developers.
-* `Issues <http://tracker.ceph.com/projects/ceph/issues?query_id=27>`_
- fixed in the development branch (master) are scheduled to be backported.
-* When an issue found in the stable release is `reported
- <http://tracker.ceph.com/projects/ceph/issues/new>`_, it is
- triaged by Ceph developers.
-* The `stable releases and backport team <http://tracker.ceph.com/projects/ceph-releases>`_
- publishes ``point releases`` including fixes that have been backported to the stable release.
-
-In the timeline, the life time of a LTS is calculated to be
-approximately 18 months after the month of the first release. For
-instance, Dumpling is published August 2013 and 18 months starting
-September 2013 is February 2015, therefore by March 2015 Dumpling
-should be retired. The lifetime of a release may vary because it
-depend on how quickly the stable releases are published. For instance
-although Dumpling theoritical retirement was March 2015, it was
-extended to May 2015.
-
-Release numbers conventions
----------------------------
-
-The first Ceph release back in Jan of 2008 was 0.1. That made sense at
-the time. The versioning scheme did not change until April 2015,
-when 0.94.1 (the first Hammer point release) was published. To avoid reaching
-0.99 (and 0.100 or 1.00?) we have a new strategy.
-
-* x.0.z - development releases (for early testers and the brave at heart)
-* x.1.z - release candidates (for test clusters, brave users)
-* x.2.z - stable/bugfix releases (for users)
-
-``x`` will start at 9 for Infernalis (``I`` is the 9th letter), making
-our first development release of the 9th release cycle 9.0.0.
-Subsequent development releases will be 9.0.1, 9.0.2, etc.
-
-After a couple months we'll have a 9.1.0 (and maybe 9.1.1) release candidate.
-
-A few weeks after that we'll have the Infernalis release 9.2.0, followed
-by stable bug fix updates 9.2.1, 9.2.2, etc., and then begin work on the
-Jewel (10.y.z) release.
