## Release Process
### Bump all Kata repositories
Bump the repositories using a script in the Kata packaging repo, where:

$ ./update-repository-version.sh -p "$NEW_VERSION" "$BRANCH"
```
### Point tests repository to stable branch
If you create a new stable branch, i.e. if your release changes a major or minor version number (not a patch release), then
you should modify the `tests` repository to point to that newly created stable branch and not the `main` branch.
The objective is that changes in the CI on the main branch will not impact the stable branch.
In the test directory, change references the main branch in:
* `README.md`
* `versions.yaml`
* `cmd/github-labels/labels.yaml.in`
* `cmd/pmemctl/pmemctl.sh`
* `.ci/lib.sh`
* `.ci/static-checks.sh`
See the commits in [the corresponding PR for stable-2.1](https://github.com/kata-containers/tests/pull/3504) for an example of the changes.
### Merge all bump version Pull requests
- The above step will create a GitHub pull request in the Kata projects. Trigger the CI using `/test` command on each bump Pull request.
