727890 - (bz-release-42) Release Bugzilla 4.2 and 4.0.5

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: Bugzilla-General, defect)

Description

[Frédéric Buclin]

Due to bug 725663, we will have to do releases for all supported branches. We prefer to release 4.2rc3 at the same time as other releases, and then release 4.2 alone in one week.

It appeared that only 4.0.2 and newer are affected. No need to release 3.x.

Comment 2

[Frédéric Buclin]

Due to what I said above in comment 1, we will go to 4.2 final directly. No need for a rc3.

>Index: lib/releases-list.txt

>+4.2	 2012/02/21	current
>+4.0.5	2012/02/21	old

Extra space for the 4.2 line, after the tab.



>Index: src/index.html

>+  <li><a href="news/#release405">Release of Bugzilla 4.2 and 4.0.5</a>

The link must be #release42, not #release405.



>Index: src/news/index.html

>+<h2 id="release42">[ 2012 Feb 21 ]
>+  Release of Bugzilla 4.2 and 4.0.5</h2>

The title mentions 4.0.5, but there is no paragraph talking about it.



>Index: src/releases/4.2/release-notes.html

>+<h3>4.0.5</h3>

You must not add relnotes for 4.0.3 - 4.0.5 in the relnotes for 4.2. We branched after 4.0.2, which is why we branched in the relnotes there too.



>Index: src/status/changes.html

>+<tr><td></td></tr>

You must add this empty cell to *all* columns, including the older ones which have no new releases, else you totally break the UI, see arrows in http://www-stage.bugzilla.org/status/changes.html


>+<tr><td><a href="[% PROCESS query_bzr rev = 8030 %]">4.2rc2 &rarr; 4.2</a></td></tr>

The rev ID is wrong as you still has to commit the security bug and bump the version ID.


>+<tr><td><a href="[% PROCESS query f='2012-01-31+10:00' t='2012-02-21+10:00' %]">4.0.4 &rarr; 4.0.5</a></td></tr>

Here too, it's a bit premature to set the time, or at least you will have to fix once you know when will happen the version bump.


Everything else looks good.

All fixed except for dates and rev ids which I will fix on checkin.

Glob, if you review this I can go ahead and start the release process earlier. If not, LpSolit can look at it when he gets back on later.

Thanks

You can remove "almost". We released 4.0 exactly one year ago. :)
