EGI-InSPIRE:NSRW New Software Release Workflow
Ticket LifeCycle
- The SW Provider creates a Ticket in GGUS accompanied with all the necessary info
- The ticket is transferred from GGUS to RT, the RepoAction field of the ticket is “MoveToUnverified“
- Upon RepoAction field change, the RT Notifies the Repo that there is a ticket to be processed
- The Repo Processes the ticket
- Downloads the software bundle and puts it on the “Unverified” Repository
- The Repo parses the attached xml
- Based on the metadata contained at both, the ticket itself and the attached xml, the Repo performs the necessary actions
- Upon success: The Repo updates the RT setting the RepoStatus of the ticket to “Unverified” + the Uri where the new software can be found, etc.
- In case of a failure: The Repo updates the RT, setting the RepoStatus of the ticket to “Failed”, plus it updates the ticket with a comment that contains the info related to the failure
- In both 4.3 cases, the RT Notifies the EGI Technology Unit group (i.e the Ticket is Assigned to the EGI TUG)
- EGI TUG -- The ticket is assigned a verifier
- EGI TUG -- The verifier checks the information available and fills the GQC template and the SQC template for the component .
- EGI TUG -- If the verification is OK, the ticket is moved to Stage-rollout (see step 6) and the SP get a notification
- EGI TUG -- If the verification is not OK, and minor issues are found, the SP is notified and has 1-2 days (depending on the type of release) to solve or clarify the issues. The ticket is moved to Verified-issues
- EGI TUG -- If the verification is not OK, and has major issues or the grace-period has passed without correcting the issues, the ticket is moved to Rejected and the SP get a notification
- If the TUG team decide that the release it is ready to move to stage-rollout phase, the RepoAction field of the ticket it is marked as MoveToStageRollOut
- Upon RepoAction field change, the RT Notifies the Repo that there is a ticket to be processed
- The Repo Processes the ticket
- Move the SW to stage-rollout
- The Repo updates the RT setting the RepoStatus of the ticket to “Stage-Rollout” + the Uri where the new software can be found, etc.
- RT Notifies the EA and/or MarioD or whoever is responsible to handle the stage-rollout process (MarioD?? any suggestion on this?)
- If everything it is OK, MarioD change the RepoAction field to “MoveToProduction”
- Upon RepoAction field change, the RT Notifies the Repo that there is a ticket to be processed
- The Repo Processes the ticket
- Move the SW to production
- The Repo updates the RT setting the RepoStatus of the ticket to “Production” + the Uri where the new software can be found, etc.
…. and the life goes on ….
