Burn down guide

Overview

This is a guide for the steps required to perform at the start of burn down.

Given the current development version is v0.A.0, then the next version is v0.B.0 where B=A+1.

Intended audience

Operations

Tasks

  • Create branch-0.B branches
  • Create 0.B project board
  • Create 0.B gpuCI jobs
  • Announce burn down

Branches

Create

In each RAPIDS project, create a new branch for 0.B such as:

git fetch origin
git checkout -b branch-0.B origin/branch-0.A`

Update

On this new branch, update documentation and version numbers.

  • README.md - including build badges
  • CHANGELOG.md - Add new section for 0.B.0
  • Files in ci/release/update-version.sh
  • Any other documentation files

Push

Commit, tag, and push the changes:

git commit -am "DOC Update to v0.B"
git tag v0.B.0a
git push origin HEAD:branch-0.B
git push origin v0.B.0a

Project boards

For each RAPIDS project, navigate to the current release board and follow these instructions to copy it as the v0.B board.

gpuCI jobs

Update the gpuCI configuration file to include the branch-0.B. Then run the RAPIDS Seed Job to generate the new jobs.

Forward-mergers

Update each of the forward-mergers to merge from 0.A to 0.B.

Make sure to update all of the following

  • Job name
  • Job description
  • SCM Branch
  • GH_HEAD & GH_BASE parameters in the downstream job

Announce

Announce that burn down has begun and when it will end.
