:B~ Procedures
1~procedures Procedures
This chapter documents the procedures within the ${project} for various tasks that need cooperation with other teams in Debian.
2~ Major Releases
Releasing a new stable major version of Debian includes a lot of different teams working together to make it happen. At some point, the Live team comes in and builds live system images. The requirements to do this are:
_* A mirror containing the released versions for the debian and debian-security archives which the debian-live buildd can access.
_* The names of the image need to be known (e.g. debian-live-VERSION-ARCH-FLAVOUR.iso).
_* The data from debian-cd needs to be synced (udeb exclude lists).
_* Images are built and mirrored on cdimage.debian.org.
2~ Point Releases
_* Again, we need updated mirrors of debian and debian-security.
_* Images are built and mirrored on cdimage.debian.org.
_* Send announcement mail.
3~ Last Point Release of a Debian Release
Remember to adjust both chroot and binary mirrors when building the last set of
images for a Debian release after it has been moved away from ftp.debian.org to
archive.debian.org. That way, old prebuilt live images are still useful without
user modifications.
3~ Point release announcement template
An announcement mail for point releases can be generated using the template below and the following command:
code{
$ sed \
-e 's|@MAJOR@|9.0|g' \
-e 's|@MINOR@|9.0.1|g' \
-e 's|@CODENAME@|stretch|g' \
-e 's|@ANNOUNCE@|2017/msgXXXXX.html|g'
}code
Please check the mail carefully before sending and pass it to others for proof-reading.
