    • E.g., after 1.6.0 release, we created a 1.6.x branch for the subsequent 1.6.1 and 1.6.2 releases
    • To create a branch, run a command similar to:
      Code Block
      svn copy http://scm.dspace.org/svn/repo/dspace/trunk \
               http://scm.dspace.org/svn/repo/dspace/branches/dspace-1_6_x/ \
            -m "Creating a branch for 1.6.x bug-fix releases."
  • Updates to JIRA:
    • Move any uncompleted issues to the next DSpace version tag in JIRA.
    • Ask a JIRA Administrator to close out the release in JIRA (this will ensure no new issues can be added to that release).
