Chesnay Schepler created FLINK-9747: ---------------------------------------
Summary: Release guide ambigous regarding release branches Key: FLINK-9747 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-9747 Project: Flink Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Chesnay Schepler The release guide contains a dedicated section to [Create a release branch|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLINK/Creating+a+Flink+Release#CreatingaFlinkRelease-Createareleasebranch]. Yet, the first step in the [Build a release candidate|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLINK/Creating+a+Flink+Release#CreatingaFlinkRelease-Buildareleasecandidate] is to create another release branch. {code} Now, create a release branch: $ cd tools tools $ OLD_VERSION=$CURRENT_SNAPSHOT_VERSION NEW_VERSION=$RELEASE_VERSION RELEASE_CANDIDATE=$RC_NUM releasing/create_release_branch.sh {code} We should use different terms, as the first is about _snapshot_-release-branches (like release-1.5), the latter about the branches actually used for a specific release (like release-1.5.0-rc1). -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
