Contributing to Stemcell Release Notes

The Linux stemcell release notes topic is an auto-generated file stemcells.html. A script in the ci folder checks for new stemcells and outputs stemcells.html.md.erb. Every 15 minutes, "pubtools-docs-helper" pushes a commit if the script finds a new release.

Committing to this repository automatically goes to the production site at docs.pivotal.io.

You cannot edit stemcells.html.md.erb. If you do, your changes will be overridden.

Modify Release Notes

To append new content to the Stemcell Release Notes topic:

  1. On a command line, navigate to the ci / additional_info directory.

  2. Create a file formatted as follows:

    _STEMCELL-VERSION.html.md.erb
    

    For example:

    _97-32.html.md.erb
    

    The file must begin with an underscore (_) and you must replace all . with - in the filename.

  3. Enter your release notes in Markdown format. Avoid headings.

  4. Commit and push your new file.

  5. Review Stemcell (Linux) Release Notes on the documentation staging site a few minutes to ensure that your partial appends to the release notes of that stemcell version.

If you experience any issues, contact #pcf-docs in Slack.

Find Tanzu Network Stemcells

The stemcell release notes now publish all stemcells regardless of whether or not they are on Tanzu Network. Each stemcell release in the release notes indicates whether or not they are can be found on <%= vars.product_network %>.
