The ATR is under development; the current version may not precisely match the screenshots below.
Activate the Select release sidebar link [1
], then use the Start a new release button for any project [2
].
Use the Upload files button on the empty Compose page to add files.
Upload files via the browser, svn
, or rsync
. To use rsync
, first submit an SSH key to ATR. We plan to read this from LDAP in future.
After upload, ATR checks your files. Review the check results on the Compose page [1
]. Use the Show report, Show warnings, or Show errors buttons for a detailed review of the check results.
When the files are present and the check results are satisfactory, use the Start voting button to proceed [2
].
A form to start the vote is displayed. If necessary, use its ability to preview the vote announcement email body. When you submit the form, ATR sends an announcement message in your name to the chosen mailing list.
The Vote page is available to all project participants, and displays the report results.
A link allows review of the voting thread in the mailing list archives [1
]. ATR does not yet tally votes; you must do this manually. A form on the page allows you to cast your vote on the mailing list [2
].
When the voting period concludes and the mandate is clear, record the outcome using the vote resolution form. This action also sends the outcome of the vote to the mailing list. A successful vote promotes the release candidate to the next phase; a failed vote returns it to the Compose phase.
If the vote passes, the release enters the Finish phase. This phase may allow minor content adjustments before the announcement and final release.
ATR currently supports moving files between directories, preserving filenames. We plan to support more types of changes in future.
When the release is finished, use the Announce and distribute button.
Using the announcement form sends a message to your selected mailing list. Destination options are limited during the testing phase.
When a release is finished, it is listed alongside any other finished releases for a project.
Each entry provides a link to download the artifacts.
This completes the ATR workflow, from private draft to finished public release.
