ReleaseChecklist
Revision 8 as of 2005-11-05 23:43:22
Clear message
These are things that needed to be checked for any release (preview, release candidate, and final) by the release manager:
Before building candidates
- Ensure that release notes are updated in ubuntu-docs
- change the description in dists/xxx/Release
- check the volume labels on ISO's for all architectures (cdimage/debian-cd/CONF.sh, OFFICIAL variable)
- check the lsb-release output for accuracy
- check /etc/issue and /etc/issue.net for accuracy
- check standard /etc/apt/sources.list for accuracy and ensure all suites exist
- ensure that the "about ubuntu" documents refer to the correct version, if at all
- prepare release announcement
Once final image is ready
- push isos to mirror pool and verify that all servers (releases, archive, cdimage) have the images
Before public release
- push links to mirrors and verify
check that http://releases.ubuntu.com/ has the proper links and text
- check torrent functionality
