Release flow for Eclipse project
[x] Upversion to proper snapshot version (3.3.0-SNAPSHOT) if not done yet
Next section is only valid if there are breaking changes in IP, features, etc, or one year Release review validity expires (last was done for 2020-03, so until 2021-03 we are ok)
[ ] Schedule Release Review after project release is created (1st of 3rd Wed. on each month)
[x] Check if there is existing release review approved already, approval would last for whole year so there is no need for review or each milestone!
[ ] Wait for release review is done on planned date after all above steps are fulfilled
[ ] Bugzilla for [release review] with approval
[ ] Link CQs if there are any: see [iplog]
[x] Do final release milestone
[x] Jump in SimRel Milestone release with offset +3
this is probably M2 +3 as reddeer cannot be built unless we got full stack of packages in some update site and this is usually happening at the end of M1.
Open simrel repo properties - Configuration -> setup those branch.master.remote=origin, branch.master.merge=refs/heads/master and branch.master.rebase=true
make changes to particular aggrcon file (reddeer.aggrcon)
Test build locally: Aggregation (only) from Eclipse IDE and CBI aggregator
From the aggregation editor, right-click on the aggregation model and run Clean then Build Aggregation. See CBI/aggregator/manual#Global_actions OR in the repo cli, run mvn clean verify
Stage changes, create commit message with change ID attached (signoff as well)
