Maintainer tools
Useful tools for mdadm maintenance:
Making a release
Assuming that maintainer is certain that release is safe, following steps must be done:
-
Make and push release commit:
- Update versions strings, refer to previous releases for examples.
- Update CHANGELOG.md.
-
Create GPG signed tag and push it to both remotes. Use same format as was used previously, prefixed by mdadm-, e.g. mdadm-3.1.2, mdadm-4.1.
-
Run kernel.org Auto-publishing:
Adopt script to our release tag model. When ready, push signed note to kernel.org repository. If it is done correctly, then (sig) is added to the package automatically generated by kernel.org automation. There is no need to upload archive manually.
-
Add release entry on Github.
-
Write "ANNOUNCE" mail to linux-raid@kernel.org to notify community.
