Icon Info.png This list contains a complete checklist for making a Xen Release, including PR


Planning the Release

  • Agree a rough schedule of RC's
  • Plan and communicate a schedule of Checklist/Kicking_off_Test_Days
  • Start establishing the list of features on publicity@lists.xenproject.org
  • Reach out to Sarah Conway <sconway@linuxfoundation.org> to get started on the press release (takes about 4 weeks). Ideally Sarah ought to be contacted before we make the first RC

Making the Release

Step 1: See Checklist/XenHypervisorRelease

Step 2: Publish source tarballs

Add instructions; Ian Jackson normally creates these


Publishing the release on the XenProject website

Step 3: Publish the tarballs on http://xenproject.org/downloads/xen-archives.html - this requires website admin rights and is done in the Docman component. Notes:

Step 4: Update the *Hypervisor Downloads* module to include a link to the latest release. Remove older ones as appropriate


Press Release

  • About 2-3 weeks before the press release, a draft of the press release should be available. Ping Sarah Conway <sconway@linuxfoundation.org>
