From 23d7859ddc421eab6bc02711b62d7eb45b5b9e11 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tester Date: Mon, 13 Jul 2026 00:29:01 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] docs(release): add hybrid SVN-dist + ATR-vote backend to the release skills MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Codify the RM decision to use, while ATR is in alpha, a hybrid release flow: SVN hosts and promotes the artefacts (trusted, ratified) while ATR runs the automated checks and administers the dev@ vote. Previously the backend was a single svnpubsub-or-atr switch; this decouples the two concerns. - release-management-config (magpie + template): add `release_vote_backend` (manual | atr), independent of `release_dist_backend`. Document the hybrid (svnpubsub + atr) and that ATR's Finish/publish is NOT used until the dist backend itself becomes atr. Add `atr_platform_url` to the template. - release-rc-cut: when release_vote_backend = atr, emit an `atr upload` block after the dist-backend staging so ATR has a candidate to check + vote on; never emits an ATR finish/publish while dist = svnpubsub. - release-vote-draft: when atr, emit `atr vote start -m … --subject … --no-auto-publish ` (RM runs it; ATR sends + tabulates) instead of a paste-ready email; body still points at the SVN dist/dev URL. - release-vote-tally: when atr, read the tally from `atr vote tabulate`, still classified against the PMC roster. - release-promote: promotion follows release_dist_backend (svn mv), never ATR Finish, regardless of the vote backend. - atr-release-runbook: add a Hybrid-mode callout describing the split. Matched to the installed atr client (0.20260709.x): the vote targets the latest uploaded revision by default (optional --revision), so the docs no longer depend on a `revisions` lookup, and note verb names may shift. --- .../release-management/atr-release-runbook.md | 24 +++++ .../_template/release-management-config.md | 49 +++++++++-- projects/magpie/release-management-config.md | 87 +++++++++++++------ skills/release-promote/SKILL.md | 9 ++ skills/release-rc-cut/SKILL.md | 37 ++++++++ skills/release-vote-draft/SKILL.md | 40 +++++++++ skills/release-vote-tally/SKILL.md | 16 ++++ 7 files changed, 231 insertions(+), 31 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/release-management/atr-release-runbook.md b/docs/release-management/atr-release-runbook.md index ebc1db4c..1deaa111 100644 --- a/docs/release-management/atr-release-runbook.md +++ b/docs/release-management/atr-release-runbook.md @@ -100,6 +100,30 @@ tired human at 2am, enforced the mechanics. > Coordinate on `dev@tooling.apache.org` / `#apache-trusted-releases` > on ASF Slack before cutting a *real* release through ATR. +> [!IMPORTANT] +> **Hybrid mode (Magpie's current stance): SVN hosts, ATR votes.** +> Because ATR is still alpha, Magpie does **not** yet let it host or +> publish releases — but it *does* use ATR's automated checks and vote +> administration.
