[arch-releng] ToDo: 2009.08 Final
Hi, seems we have (also after the public RC1 test announce) no blockers for final release of 2009.08. We planned this latest on 09. August 2009. To give the mirrors and torrent seeders a chance to relieve our servers, i plan to build the images tomorrow (Saturday, early on my localtime). I keep them in /home/archiso/images. The announce could be made then on Sunday or latest Monday(10. August morning). What we have to do: ------------------------ * Write the announcement(draft) for 2009.08 (Dieter, Aaron ?) * IMHO we should test all images at last if they boot. To speed up this we could split this on several people, maybe we split it for testing: all i686 ISOs: Tester = ??? all x86_64 ISOs: Tester = Gerhard all USB-Images: Tester = ??? If no other testers are available, i try myself to test as many as possible. * Move the images directly after build (and test) to gerolde so the mirror sync could be started. (Aaron ?) * I also could make the *.torrent files according to the last mailed workflow, a admin has to add the hashsums to opentracker whitelist. It would help if archiso group member could edit the opentracker whitelist file, maybe we add a group opentracker or torrent and add %archiso members? (Gerhard ?) * Also the RC1 hashes have to be removed from opentracker whitelist and from public download dir on sigurd. (Gerhard ?) Minor things: ------------------- * Make actual packages of archiso and aif for extra repo according to the state we used on this snapshot. Gerhard

Sounds good
I keep them in /home/archiso/images. The announce could be made then on Sunday or latest Monday(10. August morning).
What we have to do: ------------------------ * Write the announcement(draft) for 2009.08 (Dieter, Aaron ?) I'll do this. I'll send a draft proposal this noon / afternoon /evening

If no other testers are available, i try myself to test as many as possible. I can test i686 iso's and img's. I'll do some interactive and automatic installs and I'll probably try net vs

yep. I'll release a new stable aif package into extra this evening.

I will also swap the installation guides when we release. (I'll put the current one on a new page called '..._old' or something. Dieter

IMHO a test if the images are booting (and maybe if aif starts) is enough. I like to test this only to avoid build errors (mksquashfs for ex.). We don't have (known) bugs in AIF or archiso at this time (otherwise we would not release the images <g>)

This is tested ;-) We never let us to astound by "evil DEVs" (BTW: do we have a other sort of DEVs than "evil" <SCNR>) ?

I hope to be able to test one of ISOs today in VMware Workstation. My primaly test object will be timezone setting. Sorry for not doing this earlier. I had no time to do this. :-( -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

* Remove/Edit/Look on the additional entries in grub menu.lst from iso boot. I will remove the Release Notes Entry for this snapshot (we have not such a file, and a empty "ToDo" is useless...)
