updates policy for patch 'tuesdays':
Principle:
Updates should occur at regular intervals by and large. Not everyday and not haphazardly. Security and critical bugfixes should be issued asynchronously, but feature updates, new pkgs and non-critical bugfixes should be issued once a month for the duration of the distros supported lifetime.
specific rules:
- security and critical bugfixes are issued asychronously. FULL STOP.
- if the above require changes/rebuilds to other pkgs then those others pkgs will be included in the async update provided that, if they are an update beyond a rebuild then they have passed a qa check
- all other updates can be included in the monthly update push provided:
- they have passed testing karma checks
- they have passed autoqa checks
- <something here about the amount of churn and impacted examples>
- any other requirement fesco decides on.
