Notifications

  • We have to notify AV vendors once the signed bits are on candidates directory (for email address and template example, see bug 568884#c15 )
  • We have to give mirrors as much notice as possible before pushing to mirrors. This has been 24-72 hours, but has been up to a week in advance. (for email address and template example, see bug 633657 )
  • We have to notify infra-all@ before "go to build" and before we ship. The more advance notice the better.
  • We have to notify metrics once we release

Push to Beta Channel

We'll need to unthrottle the beta channel after pushing the beta snippets, because there will be a throttled 3.6.16 --> 4.0 major update present until we overwrite it. This is done by adding an exception for 'beta' in config-dist.php's $throttleExceptions array. Please also add throttling of 3.6.16, with betatest and releastest in the exceptions block, in preparation for major updates out of 3.6.16.
