For context, when working on release notes for Packstack with Reno I noticed that it relied on git tags for providing version-based release notes [1]. > Notes are immutable in that for a given git hash/tag the release notes will be the same. Tagging a commit will change the version description but that is all. Since Packstack doesn't have any tags right now, Reno builds the following notes: --- ============= Release Notes ============= 0.0.0 ===== Release notes for Packstack are now managed through Reno. --- Reno allows release notes to be fit between two tags appropriately, i.e, like the Nova ones [2]. Tagging is also relied on by PBR when generating version numbers and I'd like to see Packstack transition it's setup to PBR eventually [3]. Packstack is known as 8.0.0 for Mitaka already, so let's just start with that IMO. We can start at rc1 instead of b1 at this point I guess - the stable/mitaka branch is already cut. The proposed scheme also fits puppet module release tags [4]. I don't know if a tag for Liberty is necessary, we can probably start for Mitaka.
