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:
1. security and critical bugfixes are issued asychronously. FULL STOP. 2. 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 3. all other updates can be included in the monthly update push provided: a. they have passed testing karma checks b. they have passed autoqa checks c. <something here about the amount of churn and impacted examples> d. any other requirement fesco decides on.
