This chapter documents the procedures within the Debian Live project for various tasks that need cooperation with other teams in Debian.
Before commiting releases of a udeb in d-i svn, one has to call:
$ ../../scripts/l10n/output-l10n-changes . -d
Releasing a new stable major version of Debian includes a lot of different teams working together to make it happen. At some point, the Live team comes in and builds live system images. The requirements to do this are:
An annoucement mail for point releases can be generated using the template below and the following command:
$ sed \
-e 's|%major%|5.0|g' \
-e 's|%minor%|5.0.2|g' \
-e 's|%codename%|lenny|g' \
-e 's|%release_mail%|2009/msg00007.html|g'
Please check the mail carefully before sending and pass it to others for proof-reading.
