Idea: automatically generate tarballs for each commit
by Jane Sandberg 03 Apr '25

03 Apr '25

Hi Evergreeners, Throwing out a release process idea for your feedback: what if we had github actions build tarballs on each commit (using make_release in build-only mode)? In my imagination: the release process would be much the same as it is today until the make_release step. The builder would generate the upgrade script and bump version numbers as they do today, then push those changes. This push would trigger github actions to build the tarball, so the builder wouldn't have to. As I see it: * this would free us up from any issues and inconsistencies in the tarballs that result from folks' different environments and/or unclear instructions. * folks could test the newest code from a tarball at any time * if you catch a mistake after you're done building, you could simply push the correction and wait for the robot to generate an adjusted tarball, rather than needing to spin up your environment again or coordinate with somebody else. * since make_release would be running *all* the time, we would be able to catch errors we introduce to that script early * this would be an incremental step towards yet more automation of the build/release process I believe we'd need to expire those tarballs after a certain amount of time so we don't hit github storage limits. What do you think? Thanks, -Jane

Launchpad Signoffs and Organizational Affiliations
by Jason Stephenson 31 Mar '25

31 Mar '25

Hello, all. I have seen a couple of bugs on Launchpad lately with comments to the effect of "I'm from the contributor's org, so I can't give an official sign-off." Yes, you can give an official signoff on work done by someone else at your organization and for work that your organization has paid for. There's an understanding in the community that we all contribute as individuals and not as institutions, so it's perfectly fine to signoff on anyone else's work regardless of where they work. You might impose such a limit on yourself, but that's entirely up to you. No one from the community is policing that. I just wanted to clear up any lingering misunderstanding of the "rules."

Please be aware that this is a BETA version meant for testing and feedback. Wait! I hear you say "Did I hear FEEDBACK?" That's right. That's exactly what you heard/read.

Also, please check out the release notes for 3.15-beta. This is a very feature/fix rich release. But WAIT! There's more. The merge pause is now lifted.

Mea Culpa
by Jason Stephenson 26 Mar '25

26 Mar '25

Hi, all. I'm so sorry for pushing those commits to main, rel_3_13, and rel_3_14. I totally forgot about the commit moratorium until I got around to thinking that I also had to push it to rel_3_15. It's small, a simple rebase ought to fix it on your end. If you want, I can fix it for you, just let me know. I do think this says something about our release process taking too long. Also, if I'm totally off base here and the moratorium ended, I apologize for that, too. I'm in the middle of moving my Evergreen community email to this account so I might have missed something, but I don't think I missed a release announcement. Sorry, Jason Stephenson -- Jason Stephenson (he/him) ILS Manager, C/W MARS, Inc. ------------------------------ [image: icon] jstephenson(a)cwmars.org | [image: icon]www.cwmars.org [image: icon] 508-755-3323 x 418
