Hi,

The latest draft of the Stable/LTS doc is here:

The parts about Testing and Releasing are reproduced here:


Testing
-------

Stable and LTS releases should be tested before release/tagging.

Intel will provide validation engineers to test the 16.07 Stable Release and
the initial LTS tree. Other community members should provide testing for other
stable releases.

The validation will consist of compilation testing on the range of OSes
supported by the master release and functional/performance testing on the
current major/LTS release of the following OSes:

* Ubuntu
* RHEL
* SuSE
* FreeBSD


Releasing
---------

A Stable Release will be released by:

* Tagging the release with YY.MM.nn (year, month, number) or similar.
* Uploading a tarball of the release to dpdk.org.
* Sending an announcement to the <announce at dpdk.org> list.
