[Arthur Ryman <ryman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

---

Here is the plan the PMC approved [1].
It was posted on the pmc list, so I thought it would be useful to repost
it here.

General Post M5 Process:

• All (provisional) API changes require project lead approval
• All changes require associated Bugzilla entry
• PMC will review defect convergence on a weekly basis (daily as needed during final RC candidate production)

 

Prior to initial RC:

• All P1 bugs addressed, all P2 bugs reviewed for fix need prior to RC cut

 

July 13:

• RC1 produced
• Only non-destabilizing bug fixes, P3 and above. User impact and cosmetic fixes only will be approved; no API changes
• All checkins must have Bugzilla entry
• Component lead must code review and approve all fixes (enter into Bugzilla record and checkin notes)

 

July 22:

• RC2 produced
• P1/2 only can be addressed
• All checkins must have Bugzilla entry
• Component lead and PMC member must code review and approve
• Changes communicated to wtp-dev mailing list

 

Additional RCs as directed by PMC:

• P1 only can be addressed
• Component lead and PMC must approve all changes
• All changes communicated to wtp-dev mailing list

 

 

Release guidelines:

• No P1’s admitted (i.e., no ship-killer defects known)
• All automated tests passing on final RC
• All shipping platforms have been tested
• All component leads sign off on individual components
• PMC votes to release
