Release Management¶

For each major (x.0) and minor release there is a release nanny who is responsible for managing communication around releases. This person is responsible for handling the generation of release notes, sending emails and IRC notifications about release candidates and final releases, as well as generally tracking blockers, etc.

Debian

• Update foreman-rpms/deb/<distro>/stable/<package>
• Clean out the rc repo on server09 by hand

• reprepro -b ~/foreman-reprepro -C rc remove squeeze foreman-proxy
• reprepro -b ~/foreman-reprepro -C rc remove squeeze foreman
• reprepro -b ~/foreman-reprepro -C rc remove squeeze foreman-sqlite3
• ... all the other packages ...

- Get jenkins to rebuild the packages for the stable repo
- Building packages after cleanup will deal with rsync to deb.tf.o
