Remove BlogMergeRequest deprecated code (!2381) · Merge requests · GitLab.org / release-tools

Steve Abrams requested to merge delivery2755-remove-blog-code into master May 18, 2023

What does this MR do and why?

This removes ReleaseTools::PatchRelease::BlogMergeRequest#add_mrs_to_blog logic, associated methods and specs as we have moved to a new patch process that no longer uses this method to generate blog content. It also removes all other deprecated code in BlogMergeRequest such as references to version which is no longer given when creating a new BlogMergeRequest.

This is a checkbox in gitlab-com/gl-infra/delivery#2755 (closed)

Local testing

I verified things still worked after all of these removals. I checked two different rake tasks:

`rake release:prepare`

I applied this diff so the MR and issue would not be assigned to release managers:

diff --git a/lib/release_tools/patch_release/blog_merge_request.rb b/lib/release_tools/patch_release/blog_merge_request.rb

       rescue ReleaseManagers::Schedule::VersionNotFoundError

       end

I then ran the rake task

This resulted in the issue and blog post being correctly opened. Note there were no MRs backported at the time I ran this test, so the blog post has none listed.

Today we are releasing versions 15.11.6 for GitLab Community Edition and Enterprise Edition.

These versions resolve a number of regressions and bugs.

## GitLab Community Edition and Enterprise Edition

### 15.11.6

* [[15-11 backport] Skip weak dependencies during install on UBI](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/build/CNG/-/merge_requests/1405)
* [Backport 15.11 | Fix restore with azcopy](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/build/CNG/-/merge_requests/1403)

## Important notes on upgrading

This version does not include any new migrations, and for multi-node deployments, [should not require any downtime](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/update/#upgrading-without-downtime).

Please be aware that by default the Omnibus packages will stop, run migrations,
and start again, no matter how “big” or “small” the upgrade is. This behavior
can be changed by adding a [`/etc/gitlab/skip-auto-reconfigure`](http://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/update/README.html) file,
which is only used for [updates](https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/update/README.html).

## Updating

To update, check out our [update page](/update/).

## GitLab subscriptions

Access to GitLab Premium and Ultimate features is granted by a paid [subscription](/pricing/).

Alternatively, [sign up for GitLab.com](https://gitlab.com/users/sign_in)
to use GitLab's own infrastructure.
