Release schedule? #5155

Closed hkparker closed 4 years ago

hkparker commented 4 years ago

We haven't seen a release tag since October 2019, I'm just curious when the next release is or if tags are no longer being used to cut releases. There's some compatibility fixes for Xen 8.1 I'd like to pull in but I prefer to stick to releases than build master from time to time. Thanks for all the work you do on this.

Hi,

Have you read https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/releases.html ?

Only XOA got "releases", if you are using it from the source, you should as the doc said (quoting i)t:

If you decide to install it from the sources, please always try to stick to master as possible. Before opening any bug report or topic on the forum, update to the latest commit. Because you cloned the repository on master, just git pull!

I've seen that, but if you look at the tags and scroll around a bit you can see there used to be release tags pushed. That's what I'd use (git pull, git checkout v5.51, build...). Perhaps that was never something anyone was supposed to rely on, and I can just regularly build from source, but I'm curious why new tags stopped showing up.

olivierlambert commented 4 years ago

It was never meant to be used or to rely on. Just regularly build from master is OK: it shouldn't break because we work in feature branches.

And if it breaks, please report it, it's a nice way to contribute :+1:
