1140564 - check that all approved patches have landed before starting a release

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Release Engineering :: Applications: Shipit, defect)

Description

[[e-mail] (:bhearsum)]

(I thought we had a bug for this already, but I couldn't find one.)

Sylvestre, could you fill in the details here? I don't remember the rationale behind this...

So, the rational is the following.
During a beta cycle, we land a "few" patches.
Once we accept the uplift, we expect the sheriff to land the patches. However, especially during the beginning of a cycle, we can accept 50 to 60 patches. So, it can be hard for us to make sure all of them landed.

As it is possible to have this information through a Bugzilla query, the idea would be to integrate a new check to release-runner/ship to make sure that all the accepted uplifts landed.

The query would be: all approved (approval-mozilla-beta/approval-mozilla-release) patches with a status flag for this beta/release version empty or affected.

Kate, I'm marking this as a possible project for you this summer. There are a few possibilities!
