Branching requirements for feature bands #2707
Description
With the support of feature bands in the VMR, there are specific steps to take when branching to ensure the feature band branch is configured correctly.
The 2xx feature band (release/X.0.2xx branch) of every major .NET version requires the following steps after its branch is first created:
- Remove all "shared component" repos from the
srcdirectory. The list of repos are defined by theSharedRepositoryReferenceitem group (example from 10.0). - Update branding from 1xx to 2xx (example from 10.0).
- Add a root-level dependency on
Microsoft.NET.Sdk. This references the SDK version produced from the 1xx branch that 2xx will be dependent on (example from 10.0). - Setup darc subscriptions for
Microsoft.NET.Sdkand all dependencies of sub-repos to reference the output of the VMR from the 1xx branch. - Set
excludeRuntimeDependentJobsparameter totruein alleng/piplines/*.ymlfiles. Related: 30c76e5
Subsequent feature band branches (3xx, 4xx) do not require additional source changes as these are already branched from 2xx which has these changes applied. But darc subscriptions will still need to be configured.
These steps should be automated in a branching/branding script.
