Steps

  1. Cherry-pick commits into this MR using the link for ~"Pick into 11.1" above.
  • This can be done by checking out 11-1-stable-ee-prepare-rc9 locally and using git cherry-pick -m1 MERGE_COMMIT_SHA
  • Note: The quickest way to check the MERGE_COMMIT_SHA is to go the Discussion tab in the Merge Request. The merge commit SHA will be visible right before the comment of it being merged. Sometimes the merge commit SHA will not be available in the Discussion tab, in those cases you have to look for it in the commits tab for master
  1. Push changes every so often and verify that the MR has been included
  2. Leave a note in the MR so others can easily see that it is on track to be included in a release.
  • Remove the ~"Pick into 11.1" label.
  1. If there are any conflicts while picking MRs then attempt to resolve them; otherwise, create a new MR against the 11-1-stable-ee-prepare-rc9 branch and assign it to the author of the conflicting files.
  2. Merge CE-to-EE using one of the workflows described in the Merge CE stable changes to EE docs
  • Note: Often, after a release has been tagged, the VERSION file in ee will have a conflict. Accept the -ee one
  1. Once this MR is green merge it to stable, preferably with a manual fast-forward merge to minimize waiting time, as described in Merging preparation MRs into stable

Checklist

  • Changes marked ~"Pick into 11.1" have been picked
  • CE->EE merge has taken place
  • Conflicts resolved
  • No new commits have introduced directly to the stable branch while this MR was in progress. If there are, check for a green pipeline after merging this MR.
