Initial changes in new RedDeer release cycle
[x] Upversion to new snapshot version (3.5.0-SNAPSHOT) by M2
mvn org.eclipse.tycho:tycho-versions-plugin:set-version -DnewVersion=3.5.0.qualifier
[x] In addition, these files need to be upversioned manually:
archetype/src/main/resources/archetype-resources/pom.xmlarchetype/pom.xml
[x] in pom.xml, change: eclipse-target-site to https://download.eclipse.org/releases/2023-06/, eclipse-orbit-update-site, targetEclipseVersion and any other necessary property.
[x] 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 2021-06, 2022-06) - need to perform for 2023-06
[x] Schedule Release Review after project release is created (1st of 3rd Wed. on each month)
[x] Wait for release review is done on planned date after all above steps are fulfilled (mb merge with next step)
[x] Gitlab issue for [release review] with approval
[ ] (Outdated) Link CQs if there are any: see [iplog]
[x] Jump in SimRel Milestone release with offset +3 (mb rewrite somehow, is not clear)
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 with cli, run mvn clean verify
Stage changes, create commit message with change ID attached (signoff as well)
Commit and push... (push with CLI: git push origin HEAD:refs/for/master)
