relates to FOLIO-2858 Transition to 'main' as the new defau... In Progress
Sprint:
Development Team: FOLIO DevOps

 Description   

After all infrastructure-related repositories are ready (see the steps in FOLIO-2858 In Progress and FOLIO-3244 Open ) then the project repositories will have their default branch renamed to be "main" ( FOLIO-3261 Open ).

Decide whether to do this for all on a special day, or whether to do each individually.

If the former, then decide and announce the day.

In FOLIO-2811 Open Julian suggests:

Is August 16, 2021 a good switch date? This is two weeks after Juniper public release and four weeks before Kiwi platform API freeze.

Being a small DevOps team, this might be too early for us.

David Crossley, I just ran across this and FOLIO-2858 In Progress . I didn't realize this task had been picked up and scheduled after dropping it in the TC's lap a year ago. Is there a current estimate of when these changes may be coming? It will be important to alert devs to this change, e.g. on #stripes-updates and #development. I think a one- or two-sprint notice would be helpful so folks can anticipate it without it being too soon and adding causing panic or too distant and feeling irrelevant.

Regarding the date to switch "project repositories", it will be long time away. It has not yet been scheduled.

As Julian indicated in this ticket's description, a certain date between flower releases would be ideal.

Yes there will need to be various "heads-up" notices to alert the projects. Planning is still happening. See FOLIO-3261 Open .

As noted in this ticket's description, the infrastructure-related repositories need to be done first. Our tiny DevOps team is still investigating the ramifications and planning, among our other tasks. So it will be a long time before a date is set for project repositories.
