Ubuntu Wiki

These are things that needed to be checked for a release:

• change the description in dists/xxx/Release
• check the volume labels on ISO's for all architectures (cdimage/debian-cd/CONF.sh, OFFICIAL variable)

Release timeline:

• 7 days prior:
  • release candidate release
  • final artwork
  • draft release announcement
• 1 day before:
  • finalise release announcement
  • finalise media announcement list (list of email addresses, and who is sending)
  • make sure candidate final iso is in pool dir on mirror-master
  • verify torrents are working
  • verify that all servers have the image internally (releases, archive, cdimage)
