matrix-org / backend-meta

CI config shared between matrix.org backend projects.

This repository contains reusable workflows for use by the Synapse team.

The intent is to keep our various projects' CI configuration consistent without having to update N yaml files across N repositories.

Releases

We follow GitHub's advice for versioning actions. In short:

• Use semver release numbering.
• Test changes by publishing them to a named branch, and have test consumers cite that branch.
• For each major version 1, 2, ...:
  • Maintain branches release/v1, release/v2 which track development of a release.
  • From these branches, cut releases 1.x.y, 2.x.y as needed. Tag as v1.x.y etc.
  • Maintain a tag v1, v2, ... which points to the latest release in the 1.x, 2.x series. These tags will need to be force-recreated and force-pushed.
• Consumers that trust this repo should use tagged major versions (v1, v2,...) of these workflows.
• Consumers that don't should use specify a commit hash when using a workflow.
