SPECIFICATION RELEASE PROCESS AND CHECKLISTS
Status: DRAFT (not reviewed yet)
Introduction
The overall process for releasing a version of the specification can involve many people from different teams within the SPDX workgroups.This document and the accompanying checklists are meant to explain how a change to the specification is drafted, released and the steps and collateral that need to be updated along the way. This should serve to not only clarify the process for the SPDX Community but to also avoid any bumps in the road along the way.
The Process
Updates to the specification are normally planned and appear on the SPDX Roadmap.
Sources for changes the specification normally come from bug reports in the bugzilla system maintained by the Linux Foundation for SPDX. Items being incorporated into the specification will have tier target release set to the version of the SPDX specification being drafted (i.e. 1.2, 1.3, 2.0, etc).
