- [optional] Github repo has a descriptive project title
- [optional] manifests/ directory contains example manifest
The bosh-io pipeline periodically runs a bosh create-release
on any bosh releases above the minimum version specified to check for new versions.
If any errors occur, we may create an Issue on the repo in question. If the release looks to have no recent activity we'll remove it from the pipeline. It would still be listed on bosh-io but any updates to the release would require another PR to this repo.
Note for maintainers: After merging a new release, remember to run the worker sync scripts to configure the pipelines
First, make sure you can create a final BOSH release. Note that this is different than making a dev release. See docs on bosh.io for more info.
Next, Submit a PR to add your release to index.yml.
Without specifying a min_version, bosh-io will pick up every release version, including old and possibly broken releases.
If you only want releases after a specific version, add a min_version to the release configuration in index.yml.
bosh.io does not pay attention to GitHub releases.
It watches the releases directory within your GitHub repository on the default branch, which contains the metadata for final releases.
See the cloudfoundry/bosh releases directory.
Note that the releases directory is automatically updated when creating a final release, you should not need to manually update releases.
Yes, you need it.
Creating a final release will update both the releases directory and the .final_builds directory.
The releases directory contains metadata about what goes into the release for each version.
The .final_builds directory has references to blobs for all the assets associated with a release: job templates, packaging scripts, etc.
Without the .final_builds directory, your release will not be added to bosh.io.
Make sure to commit .final_builds to Github.
Check the default branch of your GitHub repository and make sure the release is listed in the releases directory. Without that file, bosh.io won't be able to import the release.
Make sure you cut a final release, not a dev release.
Ensure that running bosh create-release releases/<release-name>-<version>.yml from your github repo succeeds.
If everything is working in your release, it is possible there has been an internal Concourse failure. Reach out to the BOSH team on slack or github to check the Concourse builds.
Generally, existing releases listed on bosh.io will not be removed. If you'd like to discourage use of an existing release, cut a new release with a higher minor version. In extreme cases, feel free to reach out to the BOSH team.
