Hi,
first of all thank you all so much. It is great to see the stable tree
finally getting patches.
I wanted to clarify one thing though. I know it was discussed initially but
I haven't found the consensus and it didn't get to a doc file that I'd have
found either.
Will the stable tree just hold a continues series of fixes on top of DPDK
(16.07 in the current case)?
Or will there be "releases" of the stable tree which are considered more
tested?
Like releasing 16.07.1 along 16.11 or such?
In case I just lost too much grip of the old thread feel free to just pass
me a ML link in which part it was defined.
Kind Regards,

Right, sorry for that: I should have done that a bit earlier. It's the
first trial, it took a bit time to think about what could be a more proper
way to do it.

Following is something you want to know? (the "About releases" section)
http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2016-September/046189.html
About testing, short answer: no dedicated test plan *yet*. But judging
that I just pick patches from master branch, and the validation team
here does testing for each release. That would somehow implies the
quality a bit.
Meanwhile, I will try to ask if the validation could provide some dedicated
testing help. They're willing to offer help before.
Last, it'd also be great if distributions like canonical could do some tests.
The validation team here, for sure, can't cover all cases; otherwise, there
would be no reason for stable release.
We could make it more solid with more testing from more people.
And (likely one week) before each stable release, I will send the applied patch
list out, for asking more reviews as well as tests. After that, I will make
a release.
Am I missing something?

Sure, I'd try to pass it through some tests as hopefully others will do as
well.
1 week prior to release is a bit short maybe, if that could be two that
would be great.
I don't mind the list being not 100% complete at that time, it is more
about realizing
"o yeah there is coming something I might need to prep the testbed and
allocate some time"

Granted :) -- well, if others have no objection.

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.
