Release Management

Where should I put my fix?

Fixes should be targeted and committed on trunk first. Any other open releases are fair game, but may require approval from a release manager.

Regarding Release Managers

Once a formal release of OpenJPA has been approved, a release manager is assigned. The release manager is often (but not always) the same developer who performed the release. This release manager role is intended to be a long term branch maintainer who looks after the stability of a formal release.

The release manager(s) is(are) responsible for targeting fixes into a given version of OpenJPA.

  • Release managers may indicate this by targeting a JIRA issue for their branch or may issue a blanket statement that any fix will be accepted.
  • In general only the release manager(s) should target a JIRA issue for a branch which they support.
    • An exception to this rule is if the RM has committed changes for their branch and forgot to update the JIRA issue.
  • Fixes should not be committed without RM approval. These changes may be reverted by the release manager.

Some general guidelines for release managers

  • Fixes which are committed to an earlier release should also be present "up-stream". Ie a fix for 1.0.x should also appear in 1.2.x.
  • Issues may not apply to every release, so the previous guideline may not always apply.
