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
