Making a Weekly Release

Cherry-pick the desired package(s) from the RC repo into the release repo.

On the release repo server:

  1. Review package differences between the current state of the filesystem and the snapshot of the previous release: 
    # zfs diff data/set/omnios/repo/release@<release><letter-prev> data/set/omnios/repo/release | grep pkg
  2. Snapshot repo dataset @, e.g. “r151002a”
  3. Prepare ReleaseMedia if there are security fixes or significant changes to packages provided by default, such as driver updates
    • Update symlinks for latest release to point at the new media, as appropriate (LTS or Stable), see below for details
  4. Update ReleaseNotes with what changed
  5. Announce to #omnios on IRC, Twitter w/hashtags #OmniOS and #illumos, and on omnios-discuss list

Updating symlinks

These links should always point to the most recent media:

OmniOS_Text_Stable_latest.iso
OmniOS_Text_Stable_latest.usb-dd
OmniOS_Kayak_Stable_latest.zfs.bz2
OmniOS_Text_LTS_latest.iso
OmniOS_Text_LTS_latest.usb-dd
OmniOS_Kayak_LTS_latest.zfs.bz2
