Chesnay Schepler created FLINK-9747:
---------------------------------------
Summary: Release guide ambigous regarding release branches
Key: FLINK-9747
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-9747
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Chesnay Schepler
The release guide contains a dedicated section to [Create a release
branch|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLINK/Creating+a+Flink+Release#CreatingaFlinkRelease-Createareleasebranch].
Yet, the first step in the [Build a release
candidate|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLINK/Creating+a+Flink+Release#CreatingaFlinkRelease-Buildareleasecandidate]
is to create another release branch.
{code}
Now, create a release branch:
$ cd tools
tools $ OLD_VERSION=$CURRENT_SNAPSHOT_VERSION NEW_VERSION=$RELEASE_VERSION
RELEASE_CANDIDATE=$RC_NUM releasing/create_release_branch.sh
{code}
We should use different terms, as the first is about
_snapshot_-release-branches (like release-1.5), the latter about the branches
actually used for a specific release (like release-1.5.0-rc1).
