Point Releases

Team Members

High/Medium Priority:

  • Thunderbird drivers (thunderbird-drivers) to give decision.

Normal:

  • Project Lead (TBD).

All Priorities:

Lead Backup
Project: TBD TBD
Security/Dev: TBD TBD
Build: gozer gozer
QA: Tsk TBD

Release Procedure

  1. Create new page on Releases for the point release.
  2. Copy Releases/Checklist and link to from page in previous step.
  3. Follow steps on Releases/Checklist - relevant owner to strike out each step as it is performed.

TODOs

  • Point release and drivers could be a separate groups of people - therefore create a separate list release-drivers? (may be a good idea anyway to separate out the two types of email)
  • Do all relevant folks have permissions to access security bugs?
  • Do the project leads have un-moderated access to mozilla.announce.prerelease and mozilla.announce?
  • Release checklist step "Notify mirrors of beta release - Project lead emails Justin" - need more info.
  • AV/firewall vendors - need more info.
  • Do relevant folks have access to update website?
  • Do we need template announcements?
  • How much does Build:ReleasePolicy apply to us? How do we monitor/get details.
  • MDC DevNews - are we posting there, if so how?
  • Do we post press release to [1] as well as MoMO.com? There have been none there over the last few years... Standard8 to ping ss on this.
  • stats info - is this just crash-stats? Standard8 to ping ss.
  • Need our own version of How to draft release notes
  • How do we get the security centre updated? [2]
  • Need to be aware that 1.9.1 may have different release schedules/targets, nightlies will presumably use latest 1.9.1, but releases will probably want to use tagged versions, or verify the fixes in between the latest tagged and where to release from.
