Kitsune

Status Sustain

Kitsune is the platform that powers SuMo (support.mozilla.org)

Usage

It is a Django application. There is documentation online.

Releasing a new version

  • Create a signed tag for the new version.

    We are using semantic versioning.

    Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the:

    MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes
    MINOR version when you add functionality in a backward compatible manner
    PATCH version when you make backward compatible bug fixes
    

    Example:

    git tag -s 1.0.1 -m "Bump version: 1.0.0 to 1.0.1"

  • Draft a new release in GitHub for the new tag. Document the highlights of the release and also use the option to automatically document the release through the commit history.

  • Trigger the release for the specified tag in the deploy repository.

[!TIP] You can access the staging site at https://support.allizom.org/.
