Document ToC


The ToC follows the virtuous cycle of EGI

Defining the release contents

  • Requirements-driven content priorities
    • UCB requirements
    • OMB Requirements
  • Reconcile community requirements
    • Aspired output is an update of the UMD Release Schedule
    • The exact process of reconciliation
      • Open issue!

Software Provisioning

  • Software Delivery
    • The sources of software (i.e. EMI, IGE, EPEL, Platform)
    • For TP only their main repository, we never pull from anything else
  • Verification
  • StageRollout
  • UMD Release Building
    • Major versions (when and why do we release major versions)
    • Minor versions (ditto)
      • Explain the concept of roll-up releases)

Release Schedule

  • When and how often do we release a major
    • At most once a year
    • Closely located with major releases of EMI and IGE
  • When and how do we release minor releases

      • High-level list of non-backwards compatible changes,
      • Addition of new platforms
      • New features
      • List of products
      • Planned release date
    • Minor versions (i.e. roll-up updates)
      • List of products (new, or updated)
      • Planned release date
  • Flagging and progress
    • Green ticks (or so) for successfully provisioned products that are not yet published
    • Yellow exclamation mark for products that are in danger of being delayed
    • Red crosses for products that failed verification or StagedRollout




    • Which of that software is taken into the Software Provisioning workflow
    • What happens when the software has been approved by SR?

PART 2: Using the UMD Repository

    • Where do Site Admins find information?
    • How do I configure a server?
    • When and how do I update?
    • Necessary repositories for site admins
      • Platform (such as SL5 64bit)
      • EPEL repository
      • UMD Repository
    • Necessary repositories for Early Adopters
      • Platform (such as SL5 64bit)
