Ijc: Based on discussion at http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2012-11/msg01389.html
2012-11-27T15:51:59Z
<p>Based on discussion at http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2012-11/msg01389.html</p>
<p><b>New page</b></p><div>= Stable Maintenance Branches =<br />
<br />
Each new Xen release X.Y.0 starts a new stable maintenance branch.<br />
<br />
Each such branch is in its own mercurial repository<br />
xen-X.Y-testing.hg. See [[Xen Repositories]] for more information<br />
about the current branches.<br />
<br />
Releases are intended to happen roughly every 3 months. The first<br />
release on a stable branch is often sooner and as the branch reaches<br />
the end of its life the interval may be longer.<br />
<br />
In general Xen.org supports the two most recent stable branches at any<br />
given time. When a new X.Y.0 release is made there is usually one more<br />
release on the to-be-retired stable branch to mop up any loose patches<br />
sitting in the repository at which point the branch is retired.<br />
<br />
For example at the time of writing we are in the 4.3 development cycle<br />
and are supporting two stable branches: 4.1-testing and<br />
4.2-testing. After 4.2.0 was released there was one more release in<br />
the 4.0-testing stream (4.0.4) and then the 4.0 branch was retired.<br />
<br />
= Stable Branch Maintainer =<br />
<br />
Each stable branch has a maintainer who is nominated/volunteers<br />
according to the ''Maintainer Election'' process described in the<br />
[http://www.xen.org/projects/governance.html project governance]<br />
document. This will resulting in the MAINTAINERS file in the relevant<br />
branch being patched to include the maintainer.<br />
<br />
For the branches maintained by Xen.org one of the regular xen-unstable<br />
committers or maintainers would usually step up as maintainer. However<br />
other community members can also step up to maintain a stable release,<br />
typically once Xen.org no longer does so.<br />
<br />
The stable branch maintainer is responsible for identifying suitable<br />
candidates for inclusion in the stable branch both according to their<br />
own judgment and by evaluating requests from the community (see<br />
below).<br />
<br />
= Stable Branch Patch Inclusion Policy =<br />
<br />
No new development happens in the X.Y-testing branches, instead<br />
changesets are backported from xen-unstable. Where this is not possible<br />
(perhaps unstable has moved on such that the patch cannot be applied or<br />
the approach used in unstable is otherwise not valid for the stable<br />
branch) then a specific fix can be created for the stable branch.<br />
However it is a requirement that the issue will always be fixed in<br />
unstable first (this is to avoid regressions on the next major<br />
release).<br />
<br />
In general only bug fixes are accepted into stable branches and new<br />
features are not normally accepted. (There can be exceptions, e.g. it<br />
was agreed that 4.2.1 would take a more relaxed approach to features<br />
which improved xl compatibility with xm). As time passes each stable<br />
branch becomes more conservative and the barrier to accepting a patch<br />
for backport becomes higher.<br />
<br />
Changesets are included in the stable branch at the discretion of the<br />
branch maintainer.<br />
<br />
= Requesting A Backport =<br />
<br />
As well as changesets identified by the branch maintainer as being suitable<br />
for backport changes can also be nominated for inclusion in the stable<br />
branch by making a request to the stable maintainer on xen-devel<br />
either by noting it as such in the submission of the original patch to<br />
xen-unstable or by a subsequent explicit email to xen-devel.<br />
<br />
Backport requests should always be copied to the relevant stable<br />
maintainer. In addition as part of the the stable release process the<br />
stable maintainer will send one or more requests to xen-devel<br />
soliciting suggestions for patches which should be included.</div>
