Summary

As we pivot active development to MCE 2.3 / ACM 2.8, the time has come to cut-over active forward development to MCE 2.3 / ACM 2.8 release/backplane branches. This process starts with the generation of new backplane-pipeline and pipeline backplane/release branches for 2.3/2.8 followed by the creation of equivalent branches in the release repo. After this is complete, squads generate backplane-2.3 or release-2.8 branches in every repo targetting those releases and update their OSCI jobs to fast-forward and publish to 2.3/2.8. Finally, CICD validates that the upstream build is up-to-date and installable and bootstraps a downstream build and delivery pipeline for MCE 2.3 / ACM 2.8.

Progress

• COMPLETE - backplane-pipeline and pipeline 2.3/2.8 branches created
• COMPLETE - release 2.3/2.8 branches created
• COMPLETE - MCE 2.3 / ACM 2.8 upstream builds validated installable
• COMPLETE - MCE 2.3 / ACM 2.8 component cut-over
• COMPLETE - MCE 2.3 / ACM 2.8 downstream builds online

Future Work

ACM-1715 captures the work necessary to fully automate this process
