Discussion topics

cFS 6.7 Aquila release.

The constellation names will be used going forward to indicate compatible bundle elements.

Git Tags

Releases, prereleases, and release candidates.

Version Numbering and Codename

Why?

• We should provide “extreme clarity” to everyone using cFS
• Multiple questions about compatibility
• SemVer helps to accurately communicate API Changes apps use BOTH cFE and osal APIs
• Accurately answers the question "which version are you using"
• Build-based "version" reporting helps supporting bugs and troubleshooting during development.
• Use tags so testers don’t have to worry about a “moving’ target

Constellation Names and Bundle

cFS Bundle

We are exploring CalVer to separate the version number for cFE from cFS. The individual repositories will maintain their versions. Every submodule will have a constellation prefix before their version number.

Individual repositories

• Use constellation name plus build number for development versions and keep SemVer for tags and releases.
• STOP increaseing the PATCH number for development updates.
• Be explicit in version.h showing both the build string and version number INDICATE that it only refers to the last release.

Development process

As stated last week, we will stop increasing the PATCH number each week and instead rely on a new "build number" that will be added to each repository's version.h. This number will be reported in the executable as AppName Development Build CONSTELLATION-NUMBER.

We're still working out the details but the current idea is that this number will be assigned during the merge process.

6.8 Process Update:

• Name tags as 6.8.FIX-rcNUMBER (relase candidate)
• Use the prerelease GitHub marker
• All 6.8 developments get added onto the 6.8.x branch as long as they pass the bundle CI
• Create 6.8.x branch on 7/7/2020 (assuming clean CI) and tag with 6.8.0-rc1, use github’s prerelase feature.

Renaming master branches to main

GitHub recently shone a spotlight on this though it has been discussed for a while. This shows solidarity with our Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIOPOC) developers, users, and community members. This will not solve racism. It is however, important to consider the unconscious and conscious effects that our technological nomenclature can have. I hope this change will drive conversation and I encourage everyone to reach out to me (@astrogeco), your management team, or your diversity and inclusion contacts to learn more about the different ways we can make tech more approachable for everyone. This will make some of us uncomfortable and that's ok.
