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:
    1. they have passed testing karma checks
    2. they have passed autoqa checks
    3. it is not a bugfix(not including rfes) and update falls within the critical path or critical path dependencies, then it cannot be included.
    4. any other requirement fesco decides on.
