 * Since we are close to [[FinalRelease]], we may need a confirmation from the [[ReleaseTeam]] (if we don't already have it implicitly due to the nature of the ubuntu-docs package).

Checklist for releasing the ubuntu-docs package

Before DocumentationStringFreeze

There are some key steps that should be taken before DocumentationStringFreeze.

Update certain files

  • Version number in
    • configure.in
    • html/Makefile
    • html/ubuntu.xsl
  • ubuntu-help/C/whats-new.page
  • debian/changelog
  • ubuntu-help/ubuntu-help.pot
    1. Run autogen.sh.
    2. (Re)move the old ubuntu-help.pot.
    3. Run the command 'make ubuntu-help.pot' from the ubuntu-help folder.

Upload to the archive

  • Build a source package from lp:ubuntu-docs and upload to the main archive. (Requires upload rights for ubuntu-docs.)

The build process will update the PO files in Rosetta with the updated ubuntu-help.pot. lp:ubuntu/ubuntu-docs will be updated automatically.

After NonLanguagePackTranslationDeadline

NonLanguagePackTranslationDeadline happens one week before FinalFreeze, so at this point we are in a hurry.

  • Import the PO files from Rosetta to lp:ubuntu-docs
  • Update the changelog
  • Build a source package from lp:ubuntu-docs and upload to the main archive. (Requires upload rights for ubuntu-docs.)

  • Generate the HTML pages and upload to help.ubuntu.com (see BuildingDocumentation).
