B~ Procedures
1~procedures Procedures
This chapter documents the procedures within the Debian Live project for various tasks that need cooperation with other teams in Debian.
2~ Udeb Uploads
Before commiting releases of a udeb in d-i svn, one has to call:
code{
$ ../../scripts/l10n/output-l10n-changes . -d
}code
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, debian-security and debian-volatile archive 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 packagelists need to have been updated.
_* The data from debian-cd needs to be synced (udeb exclude lists).
_* The includes from debian-cd needs to be synced (README.*, doc/*, etc.).
_* Images are built and mirrored on cdimage.debian.org.
2~ Point Releases
_* Again, we need updated mirror of debian, debian-security and debian-volatile.
_* Images are built and mirrored on cdimage.debian.org.
_* Send announcement mail.
3~ Point release announcement template
An annoucement mail for point releases can be generated using the template below and the following command:
code{
$ sed \
-e 's|%major%|5.0|g' \
-e 's|%minor%|5.0.2|g' \
-e 's|%codename%|lenny|g' \
-e 's|%release_mail%|2009/msg00007.html|g'
}code
Please check the mail carefully before sending and pass it to others for proof-reading.
