  • Pick a Release Manager, by lazy consensus unless there are multiple candidates.
  • Create a SVN branch from a previous branch or from trunk. This has to be discussed and agreed on the dev@ mailing list.
    From anywhere on a machine with SVN access, just run:
    $ svn copy https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/branches/AOO415/ https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/branches/AOO416/ \
    -m "Branch off \
    4.1.6 from HEAD of 4.1.5"

  • Select issues and enhancements to go in the releases that can be accepted as a release blocker.
  • Only the Release Manager should grant or deny requested issues:
    • This is done by setting the release blocker flag in the respective Bugzilla (BZ ) issue (? = ask for blocker, + = grant as blocker, - = deny as blocker).
    • See BZ 127168 as example.

    • IMPORTANT:
      Make sure that your BZ user account has the permissions for the groups "relman", "qa-team", "editbugs", and "canconfirm" to be able to edit the issues as it is needed. Ask your BZ admin to get these permissions set.
