1390756 - improve docs and releasetasks release configs to ease the Fennec second graph submission

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: Release Automation, enhancement, P2)

Description

Fennec ships in two graphs the same way Firefox does[1], for major releases. But the docs for Fennec and the release-configs[2] never made it.

Time to add both so that future releases are copy-paste procedure and not just hacking on bm85.

During 55.0 release last week, after I munged the graph and resubmitted only what was necessary as the second graph for Fennec, I forgot `git checkout .` the changes on bm85 and that spooked folks this week. Bad Mihai.

Will fix this properly with docs + release configs so that next time we have some docs to offer us guidance.

Is this is just the Fennec X.0 releases, so we have three graphs for Fennec then ? And two otherwise (releasetasks + nightly decision task).

To be fully honest, in case of Fennec, I consider graph2 only the Fennec X.0 release graph from second week.
Otherwise, graph2 is the same with candidates_fennec graphid and I just look-it up that way.

We could improve releasewarrior as well to do that as graph3 and make these things clear/consistent across all types of releases.

What do you think?
