Handbook migration: Clarify the future of the release pages.
Context
The following pages are closely integrated with the GitLab release processes and are owned by the Delivery team:
- Releases - This is the SSOT for release information
- Release managers - Lists release managers per milestone
- Release blog posts - Collection of patch and security blog posts.
The first two are generated by a configuration file (releases.yml
) and some ruby scripts (1, 2), while the release blog posts are automatically generated by the release tooling using ruby markdown syntax.
The purpose of this issue is to clarify the future of these sites after the handbook migration &1 (closed)
Questions to respond on this issue.
- Does the handbook migration include moving the release pages to the new handbook?
- If that is the case, what is the plan for moving pages built by configuration files or generated by external third parties?
- What can the Delivery team do to guarantee a transparent migration?
