Description

It should be a little simpler to generate update-description files, e.g. when acting as the release manager.

At least detailed documentation is a must. A sanity checking tool would be better. A fully automated generator would be best. Calling this a documentation task to start with.

A sanity checker was written already, so calling it a coding task.

  • Status changed from Confirmed to Resolved

Done: written a generator/updater for upgrade-description files (tails-iuk-generate-ugrade-description-files), a syntactic validity checker (tails-iuk-check-upgrade-description-file) and documented how to use this all in the release process doc.
