#11607 [mass_branching] Create a "logical" checklist for mass branching
Closed: Fixed 2 years ago by jnsamyak. Opened 2 years ago by jnsamyak.

  • Describe the issue

Most of the time, even after trying our best, we tend to miss out on some items for mass branching; either it is to check if rawhide definitions are correct, or if we made changes to all the files that need to get updated, etc;
For the same, The SOP we have for mass_branching doesn't have a checklist yet - to track all the changes. This issue will grant us a way to collaborate and discuss a "logical" checklist for future releases.

For now: @jnsamyak will start fetching a document for this, and will share it with folks to discuss in releng weekly meetings.

  • When do you need this? (YYYY/MM/DD)
    Before the next mass branching

  • When is this no longer needed or useful? (YYYY/MM/DD)
    It will always be useful ;)

  • If we cannot complete your request, what is the impact?
    Long nights of figuring what we missed each time we branch :P


Just for reference, on the things that we missed while branching this time (f39) are listed here: https://hackmd.io/@jednorozec/HkIy8Ebh2/edit

In the checklist we need to add two things:

  • Preparatory PRs that need to go at least one day before
  • On the day of branching, what are the items we need to work on
