#REDIRECT [[Updates_Policy]]
 
For a package to be pushed to the stable updates repository, it must
meet the following criteria.
 
== Acceptance tests for all updates ==
 
{{admon/note|This section is not yet enabled in production}}
 
All updates, including security updates, must pass acceptance criteria before being pushed.
 
The list of tests will be:
* Packages must not break dependencies
* Packages must not break upgrade path
* Packages must not introduce new file/package conflicts
* Packages must be able to install cleanly
 
Additional tests will be set by [[FESCo]] with input from [[QA]].
 
== Updates to 'critical path' packages ==
 
Updates that constitute a part of the 'critical path' package set (defined
below) '''including security updates''' must follow the rules as defined for [[Critical_Path_Packages_Proposal|critical path packages]] for
pending releases, meaning:
 
* At the time of the request to stable, the update needs to have a [[Bodhi|Bodhi karma]] sum of 2 '''AND'''
* One of these positive karma points needs to be from a [[Proventester]]
 
 
For the purposes of this policy, the 'critical path' package set is defined as the following:
 
* The current [[Critical_Path_Packages|critical path package set]]
* All major desktop environments' core functionality (GNOME, KDE, Xfce, LXDE)
* Package updating frameworks (gnome-packagekit, kpackagekit)
* Major desktop productivity apps. An initial list would be firefox, kdebase (konqueror), thunderbird, evolution, kdepim (kmail).
 
Changes to this definition would be done by FESCo or their delegate.
 
== All other updates ==
 
All other updates must either:
 
* reach the criteria laid out in the previous section '''OR'''
* reach the positive Bodhi karma threshold specified by the updates submitter '''OR'''
* spend some minimum amount of time in [[updates-testing]], currently one week
 
= Exception process =
 
Any update that wants to bypass these procedures requires majority approval from FESCo.
