Rough Guide to doing Stable Point Releases in Debian
----------------------------------------------------
o use halle to get rid of obsolete .changes from p-u ['halle *.changes' from within p-u]
o [also check for obsolete .changes caused by melanie-ing from p-u]
o Install, reject and remove packages as directed by the SRM using
kelly (installs), lauren (rejects) and melanie (removals)
NB: removing packages are not logged to the stable 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<n>.<n>r<n>' 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 Run 'ziyi stable' ** FIXME: requires apt.conf.stable stanza for stable in apt.conf
** FIXME: must be run as katie
o Uncomment "Untouchable" in katie.conf[-non-US]
Yes, this sucks and more of it should be automated.
