openSUSE Release Process » openSUSE Leap 15.0

First, ask an obs admin to prepare the "partitioning" setup of OBS for the new release and to copy the signing keys including UEFI cert.
That makes sure rings and stagings end up on the correct backend and are correctly signed.

When done copy old project to new one with full history:

$ osc api /source/openSUSE:Leap:42.3?cmd=copy\&oproject=openSUSE:Leap:42.2\&withhistory=1\&comment=branch+from+42.2 -X POST
$ for i in \
    NonFree \
    Rings \
    Rings:0-Bootstrap \
    Rings:1-MinimalX \
    Rings:2-TestDVD \
    Staging Staging:A \
    Staging:A:DVD; do \
    echo $i; \
    osc api /source/openSUSE:Leap:42.3:$i?cmd=copy\&oproject=openSUSE:Leap:42.2:$i\&withhistory=1\&comment=branch+from+42.2 -X POST; \
    done

To adjust link files osc co -u the project, then

sed -i -e 's/openSUSE:Leap:42.2/openSUSE:Leap:42.3/' */_link

Fix non oss release file:

    osc api /source/openSUSE:Leap:42.3:NonFree/openSUSE-release/_aggregate -e
