@ -402,3 +402,25 @@ nightly build in order to move forward with getting the latest versions of
packages compatible with the new GHC release.
[GHC upgrade note]: https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stackage/blob/master/MAINTAINERS.md#upgrading-to-a-new-ghc-version
## New LTS major bump
Every 3-6 months, we make a new major release of LTS. The procedure we follow for this is:
1. Write a blog post on stackage.org announcing the intent to cut a major
release. Give an estimated date two weeks in the future from the publication
date of the post.
2. Spread the blog post on social media and mailing lists as much as possible.
3. Expect maintainers to send significant requests for added packages and
relaxed upper bounds. There will likely be some hard decisions to be made
regarding relaxing a bound versus keeping more packages. All of these changes
occur on master and affect nightly.
4. Once the estimated date hits, push a new `lts-XX` branch and trigger Docker
Hub to build a Docker image for the new release.
5. Run the build procedure for the new LTS release.
6. After the LTS build completes, more aggressively prune upper bounds from
`build-constraints.yaml`.
7. Once both (5) and (6) are done, publish a new blog post on stackage.org
announcing the new LTS and Nightly, with links to the change pages on
stackage.org. Include a reminder that requests for packages to be added to LTS
may be made on commercialhaskell/lts-haskell.
