[Mageia-sysadm] things to do for release

Tue May 24 21:31:57 CEST 2011

Hello,
+
+You can see on this page the list of things to do for the release :
+http://www.mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=iso1:countdown
+
+From this list, I think the following will be done by sysadmin team :
+
+- sign ISOs
+- fork cauldron tree directory on mirror to official tree
+- clean testing repositories for stable tree
+- make a copy in svn of the current svn tree ( svn cp ) to a branch
+- clean history on binrepos svn
+- add config for new release in youri
+- unfreeze cauldron
+- manage torrents files
+- upload trees and isos on primary mirror on private directory
+
+So I think we can prepare some scripts to do the following :
+ - fork cauldron tree on mirrors to official tree and clean testing
+   repositories
+ - create branch for each package (as discussed at last packagers meeting) :
+   svn+ssh://svn.mageia.org/svn/packages/cauldron/[packagename]/pristine/
+     copied to
+   svn+ssh://svn.mageia.org/svn/packages/cauldron/[packagename]/branches/1/
+ - clean history on binrepos svn
+ - sign ISOs
+
+I plan to start those scripts this week (but you can help too). In this
+directory :
+ svn+ssh://svn.mageia.org/svn/soft/release/trunk/
+
+And I think the following can also be useful if we have time :
+ - see how we can have statistics about number of downloads using torrents
+ - a script to check signature on all packages
+ - a script to check for binary or debug packages with no src.rpm,
+   or src.rpm with no binary packages in the tree
+
+Do you see other things to do ?
