Could you backport this to staging/ so future changes to staging don't merge conflict when they are published? > +++ subversion/site/publish/docs/community-guide/releasing.part.html Mon Dec > 11 13:41:35 2017 > @@ -1282,6 +1282,8 @@ A.B with the version you're preparing, e > <li><p>Ask someone with appropriate access to add the A.B.x branch to the > <tt>svn-role</tt> mergebot.</p></li> > I believe nowadays this managed by infra here: https://github.com/apache/infrastructure-puppet/blob/deployment/modules/svnqavm_pvm_asf/manifests/init.pp It currently uses backport.pl. I think it's up to you whether to have 1.10.x use backport.pl (as 1.9.x does; just add 1.10.x to the for loop there) or backport.py (the newer / shinier / non-deprecated equivalent; tools/dist/README.backport has details). Someone needs to run the 'svn checkout' manually. I've just done that. The exact checkout command is documented in machines/svn-qavm2/notes.txt in the private repository (need to use a trunk client and the svn-master.a.o hostname). > +<li><p>Make sure all buildbot builders are building the new release > branch.</p></li> I added 1.10.x to the buildbot config a while ago. Now would be a good time to add 1.11.x to it, though. :-) Cheers, Daniel
