[Techassi]

Part of stackabletech/issues#602

This adds a new issue template to create a tracking issue for pre-release workspace member updates and releases.

Preview

Update and Release Workspace Members for Stackable Release XX.(X)X

Note

During a Stackable release we update all dependencies in the operator-rs repository. After these bumps, each workspace member is released using an appropriate SemVer version. Later, each product operator repository can then use the updates crates.

Replace the items in the task lists below with the applicable Pull Requests

Tasks

Beta Give feedback

1. Update Rust version and workflow actions, see below for more details.
2. Update Rust dependencies, see below for more details.
3. Adjust crate versions
4. Lastly, add and push the appropriate tags using .scripts/tag_and_push_release.sh.

Update Rust Version and Workflow Actions

Note

The PR is usually titled: chore: Bump Rust version and workflow actions

1. Adjust the version of the channel in the rust-toolchain.toml file. See https://releases.rs.
2. Adjust the version RUST_TOOLCHAIN_VERSION in the workflows:
   • .github/workflows/build.yml
   • .github/workflows/pre_commit.yaml
3. Add a changelog entry.
4. Update any actions (using the Git commit hash) in the workflows. Hint: Also make sure that the cargo-udeps action is up-to-date, otherwise the CI might report errors.

Update Rust Dependencies

Note

This PR is usually titled: chore: Bump Rust dependencies

1. Bump minor versions of dependencies in the Cargo.toml manifest.
2. Then run the cargo update command.
3. Fix any code which needs updating due to the dependency bumps.
4. Locally update any product operator to identify any breaking changes downstream.
   • Hint: Use the [patch."https://github.com/..."] mechanism to temporarily override the dependency.
5. Add a changelog entry if required.

Adjust Crate Versions

Warning

Currently, all workspace members use 0.X.Y versions. This means we can introduce breaking changes in any version without needing to bump the major level. But we still have the following rules:

• Breaking changes (internally and externally) will bump the minor level of the version, so 0.X.Y becomes 0.X+1.Y.
• All other non-breaking changes will bump the patch level of the version, so 0.X.Y becomes 0.X.Y+1.

Note

The PR is usually titled: chore: Release workspace members

1. Bump the crate versions in their appropriate Cargo.toml manifests.
2. Verify the previous step using .scripts/verify_crate_versions.sh.
