Ideas for our release branch
In recent VTK-m meetings we have been discussing regarding the need of having a release branch.
This release branch is needed to perform bugfixes for specific releases in a organized manner.
I propose bringing to VTKm some of the ideas used in the ParaView release procedure such as:
-
Creating a GitLab
issue
template with the steps needed to perform a release where among other things:- We update the Spack Package with the new version
- We somehow announce the new release.
-
Automatize the generation of Doxygen docs for each of the commit in the release branch using GitLab CI.
