+repo:ci-management
+==================
+
+General
+-------
+
+For an LTS release (v2.11, v2.8) tests on the master branch will need
+to be copied into a named voltha-version folder and updated to checkout
+and exercise tests and source on that branch.
+
+`Jenkins Views <https://jenkins.opencord.org/>`_
+------------------------------------------------
+Begin by creating voltha-{LST} views for the new pipeline jobs.
+
+jjb/software-upgrades.yaml
+--------------------------
+
+- Create a new software-upgrades-test-0211 branch from the old.
+- Update released component versions mentioned in the configs.
+- Update master branch released versions as well.
+- Tricky part, SNAPSHOT versions are not visible to navigation browsing:
+
+  - `org/opencord <https://oss.sonatype.org/content/groups/public/org/opencord>`_
+
+- Instead obtain snapshot version from pom.xml and type in the explicit URL path:
+
+  - `aaa-app/2.9.0-SNAPSHOT <https://oss.sonatype.org/content/groups/public/org/opencord/aaa-app/2.9.0-SNAPSHOT/>`_
