1 Rough Guide to doing Stable Point Releases in Debian
2 ----------------------------------------------------
4 o Install, reject and remove packages as directed by the SRM
6 NB1: !! you must run kelly from within dists/proposed-updates; kelly
7 takes it's "I'm doing a point release" cue from the CWD. !!
9 NB2: removing packages are not logged to the changelog; you need to
12 o Do anything in proposed-updates/TODO
13 o Close any applicable woody bugs
14 (hint: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=ftp.debian.org&include=woody)
15 o Update version number in README and dists/README (ftp-master only)
16 o Update the 'Debian<n>.<n>r<n>' symlink in dists/
17 o Clean up dists/ChangeLog (add header, basically)
18 o Update version fields in katie.conf[-non-US]
19 o Update fields in suite table in postgresql (see below)
21 o Comment out "Untouchable" in katie.conf[-non-US]
22 o Run 'jenna -s stable'
23 o Run apt-ftparchive generate apt.conf.stable[-non-US]
24 o Copy tree/directory for stable to apt.conf[-non-US], run ziyi, remove it from apt.conf[-non-US]
25 o Uncomment "Untouchable" in katie.conf[-non-US]
27 Yes, this sucks and more of it should be automated.
