  * '''FINAL ARTWORK'''

  * draft release announcement

 * 1 day before:

  * finalise release announcement

  * get release announcement translated

  * finalise media announcement list (list of email addresses, and who is sending)

  * make sure candidate final iso is in pool dir on mirror-master

  * verify torrents are working

  * verify that all servers have the image internally (releases, archive, cdimage)

 * on publishing:

  * check that http://releases.ubuntu.com/ has the proper links and text

  * check final torrents
 * push links to mirrors and verify
 * check torrent functionality

These are things that needed to be checked for any release (preview, release candidate, and final) by the release manager:

Before building candidates

  • change the description in dists/xxx/Release
  • check the volume labels on ISO's for all architectures (cdimage/debian-cd/CONF.sh, OFFICIAL variable)
  • check the lsb-release output for accuracy
  • check /etc/issue and /etc/issue.net for accuracy
  • ensure that the "about ubuntu" documents refer to the correct version, if at all
  • prepare release announcement

Once final image is ready

  • push isos to mirror pool and verify

Before public release

  • push links to mirrors and verify
  • check torrent functionality
