| # Main branch | ||
| ## Main branch | ||
|
|
||
| The dependabot is enabled & [configured](https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/blob/main/.github/dependabot.yml) to | ||
| manage dependencies for etcd `main` branch. But dependabot doesn't work well for multi-module repository like `etcd`, | ||
| see [dependabot-core/issues/6678](https://github.com/dependabot/dependabot-core/issues/6678). | ||
| see [dependabot-core/issues/6678](https://github.com/dependabot/dependabot-core/issues/6678). | ||
| Usually human intervention is required each time when dependabot automatically opens some PRs to bump dependencies. | ||
| Please see guidance below. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Dependencies used in workflows | ||
| ### Dependencies used in workflows | ||
|
|
||
| The PRs which automatically bump dependencies (see examples below) used in workflows are fine, and can be approved & merged directly as long as all checks are successful. | ||
|
|
||
| - [build(deps): bump github/codeql-action from 2.2.11 to 2.2.12](https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/pull/15736) | ||
| - [build(deps): bump actions/checkout from 3.5.0 to 3.5.2](https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/pull/15735) | ||
| - [build(deps): bump ossf/scorecard-action from 2.1.2 to 2.1.3](https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/pull/15607) | ||

||
| ## Bumping order | ||
| ### Bumping order | ||
|
|
||
| When multiple etcd modules depend on the same package, please bump the package version for all the modules in the correct order. The rule is simple: | ||
| if module A depends on module B, then bump the dependency for module B before module A. If the two modules do not depend on each other, then | ||
| it doesn't matter to bump which module first. For example, multiple modules depend on `github.com/spf13/cobra`, we need to bump the dependency | ||
| in the following order, | ||
|
|
||
| - go.etcd.io/etcd/pkg/v3 | ||
| - go.etcd.io/etcd/server/v3 | ||
| - go.etcd.io/etcd/etcdctl/v3 | ||
| - go.etcd.io/etcd/etcdutl/v3 | ||
| - go.etcd.io/etcd/tests/v3 | ||
| - go.etcd.io/etcd/v3 | ||
| - go.etcd.io/etcd/tools/v3 | ||
| For more details about etcd Golang modules, please check https://etcd.io/docs/next/dev-internal/modules/ | ||
| For more details about etcd Golang modules, please check <https://etcd.io/docs/next/dev-internal/modules> | ||
|
|
||
| Note the module `go.etcd.io/etcd/tools/v3` doesn't depend on any other modules, nor by any other modules, so it doesn't matter when to bump dependencies for it. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Steps to bump a dependency | ||
| ### Steps to bump a dependency | ||
|
|
||
| Use the `github.com/spf13/cobra` as an example, follow steps below to bump it from 1.6.1 to 1.7.0 for module `go.etcd.io/etcd/etcdctl/v3`, | ||
| ``` | ||
| $ cd ${ETCD_ROOT_DIR}/etcdctl | ||
| $ go get github.com/spf13/cobra@v1.7.0 | ||
| $ go mod tidy | ||
| $ cd .. | ||
| $ ./scripts/fix.sh | ||
|
|
||
| ```bash | ||
| cd ${ETCD_ROOT_DIR}/etcdctl | ||
| go get github.com/spf13/cobra@v1.7.0 | ||
| go mod tidy | ||
| cd .. | ||
| ./scripts/fix.sh | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| Execute the same steps for all other modules. When you finish bumping the dependency for all modules, then commit the change, | ||
| ``` | ||
| $ git add . | ||
| $ git commit --signoff -m "dependency: bump github.com/spf13/cobra from 1.6.1 to 1.7.0" | ||
|
|
||
| ```bash | ||
| git add . | ||
| git commit --signoff -m "dependency: bump github.com/spf13/cobra from 1.6.1 to 1.7.0" | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| Please close the related PRs which were automatically opened by dependabot. | ||
|
|
||
| When you bump multiple dependencies in one PR, it's recommended to create a separate commit for each dependency. But it isn't a must; for example, | ||
| you can get all dependencies bumping for the module `go.etcd.io/etcd/tools/v3` included in one commit. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Indirect dependencies | ||
| ### Indirect dependencies | ||
|
|
||
| Usually we don't bump a dependency if all modules just indirectly depend on it, such as `github.com/go-logr/logr`. | ||
|
|
||
| If an indirect dependency (e.g. `D1`) causes any CVE or bugs which affect etcd, usually the module (e.g. `M1`, not part of etcd, but used by etcd) | ||
| which depends on it should bump the dependency (`D1`), and then etcd just needs to bump `M1`. However, if the module (`M1`) somehow doesn't | ||
| bump the problematic dependency, then etcd can still bump it (`D1`) directly following the same steps above. But as a long-term solution, etcd should | ||
| bump the problematic dependency, then etcd can still bump it (`D1`) directly following the same steps above. But as a long-term solution, etcd should | ||
| try to remove the dependency on such module (`M1`) that lack maintenance. | ||
|
|
||
| For mixed cases, in which some modules directly while others indirectly depend on a dependency, we have multiple options, | ||
|
|
||
| - Bump the dependency for all modules, no matter it's direct or indirect dependency. | ||
| - Bump the dependency only for modules which directly depend on it. | ||
|
|
||
| We should try to follow the first way, and temporarily fall back to the second one if we run into any issue on the first way. Eventually we | ||
| should fix the issue and ensure all modules depend on the same version of the dependency. | ||
|

|
|
||
| ### arduino/setup-protoc | ||
| Please refer to [build(deps): bump arduino/setup-protoc from 1.3.0 to 2.0.0](https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/pull/16016) | ||
|
|
||
| ## Rotation worksheet | ||
| ### Rotation worksheet | ||
|
|
||
| The dependabot scheduling interval is weekly; it means dependabot will automatically raise a bunch of PRs per week. | ||
| Usually human intervention is required each time. We have a [rotation worksheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DDWzbcOx1p32MhyelaPZ_SfYtAD6xRsrtGRZ9QXPOyQ/edit#gid=0), | ||
| and everyone is welcome to participate; you just need to register your name in the worksheet. | ||
|
|
||
| # Stable branches | ||
| ## Stable branches | ||
|
|
||
| Usually we don't proactively bump dependencies for stable releases unless there are any CVEs or bugs that affect etcd. | ||
|
|
||
| If we have to do it, then follow the same guidance above. Note that there is no `./scripts/fix.sh` in release-3.4, so no need to | ||
| execute it for 3.4. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Golang versions | ||
|
|
||
| The etcd project aims to maintain a development branch that is on the latest [Go version](https://go.dev/dl), ideally this will align with the Go version in use for Kubernetes project development. For an example on how to update etcd to a new minor release of Go refer to issue <https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/issues/16393> and the linked pull requests. | ||
|
|
||
| Suggested steps for performing a minor version upgrade for the etcd development branch: | ||
|
|
||
| 1. Carefully review new Go version release notes and potentially related blog for any deprecations, performance impacts or other considerations. | ||
| 2. Create a github issue to signal intent to upgrade and invite discussion, example <https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/issues/16393>. | ||
| 3. Complete the upgrade locally in your development environment. | ||
| 4. Run performance benchmarks locally to compare before and after. | ||
| 5. Raise a pull request for the changes, example <https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/pull/16394>. | ||
|
|
||
| Stable etcd release branches will be maintained to stay on the latest patch release of a supported Go version, however upgrading minor versions will be avoided unless the minor version in use is now out of support. Refer to the [Go release policy](https://go.dev/doc/devel/release). | ||
|
|
||
| For an example of how to update etcd to a new patch release of Go refer to issue <https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/issues/16343> and the linked pull requests. | ||
