Rough Guide to doing Stable Point Releases in Debian ---------------------------------------------------- o Install, reject and remove packages as directed by the SRM NB1: !! you must run kelly from within dists/proposed-updates; kelly takes it's "I'm doing a point release" cue from the CWD. !! NB2: removing packages are not logged to the changelog; you need to do that byhand. o Do anything in proposed-updates/TODO o Close any applicable woody bugs (hint: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=ftp.debian.org&include=woody) o Update version number in README and dists/README (ftp-master only) o Update the 'Debian.r' symlink in dists/ o Clean up dists/ChangeLog (add header, basically) o Update version fields in katie.conf[-non-US] o Update fields in suite table in postgresql (see below) o Comment out "Untouchable" in katie.conf[-non-US] o Run 'jenna -s stable' o Run apt-ftparchive generate apt.conf.stable[-non-US] o Copy tree/directory for stable to apt.conf[-non-US], run ziyi, remove it from apt.conf[-non-US] o Uncomment "Untouchable" in katie.conf[-non-US] Yes, this sucks and more of it should be automated. ####################################################### update suite set version = '3.0r1' where suite_name = 'stable'; update suite set description = 'Debian 3.0r1 Released 15th December 2002' where suite_name = 'stable';
