second tracking-esr bullet should be status-esr instead
1) When an engineer believes that a stability bug needs to be addressed for the ESR, or a security fix that's landed on a branch affects the ESR:
* Set '''tracking-firefox-esr{{ESR_CURRENT}}''' (and if we're in the middle of supporting 2 versions, then also tracking-firefox-esr{{ESR_NEXT}} to '''?'''* Set '''trackingstatus-firefox-esr{{ESR_CURRENT}}''' (and if we're in the middle of supporting 2 versions, then also trackingstatus-firefox-esr{{ESR_NEXT}} to '''affected''' if an ESR patch is still being worked on* Set '''approval-mozilla-esr{{ESR_CURRENT}}''' (and if we're in the middle of support 2 versions, then also approval-mozilla-esr{{ESR_NEXT}} to '''?''' and '''status-firefox-esr{{ESR_CURRENT}}/{{ESR_NEXT}}''' checkin-pending if a patch is ''ready to land on mozilla-esr{{ESR_CURRENT}}/{{ESR_NEXT}}''2) Members of both Security and Release Management teams will triage tracking-firefox-esr{{ESR_CURRENT}}/{{ESR_NEXT}}=?, and if agreement is that it's needed for the ESR, the tracking flag will be set to the first version of mainline Firefox that the patch is present in and the '''approval-mozilla-esr{{ESR_CURRENT}}/{{ESR_NEXT}}''' flag will be set to '''+'''.
* In the case of an ESR-specific regression, we'll track for the next ESR release (e.g.: {{ESR_FUTURE}}).
* Why are we using mainline versions to track the ESR? According to the ESR proposal, a chemspill uses a minor version number, thus throwing off our tracking flags. Additionally, engineers shouldn't have to know what version of the ESR we're on.
3) Once the mozilla-beta version matches the tracking-firefox-esr{{ESR_CURRENT}}/{{ESR_NEXT}} version(s), Security and Release Management teams will triage those bugs and make sure affected/checkin-pending fixes are landed at least 1 week prior to release so that we can go-to-build.* Approval is required, so add "a={whoever set the approval-mozilla-esr10 esr{{ESR_CURRENT}} flag to +}" to the commit message.* After landing the patch, set status-firefox-esr{{ESR_CURRENT}}/{{ESR_NEXT}} to "fixed".
* Our beta period for the ESR will be to push this build to FTP a week early for qualification by enterprises.
