openSUSE Release Process » openSUSE Leap 15.0

Plan for 42.3:

• log in to download.opensuse.org
• hardlink files from 42.3/iso into e.g. 42.3/iso-devel in ftp-stage
• wait for some mirrors to catch up
• sync the change to ftp
• install a redirect rule 42.3/iso into 42.3/iso-devel
• remove world access from iso/ so only staging mirrors can pull it

on release day every once in a while scan for mirrors as mirror user:

mb scan -a -d /distribution/leap/42.3 -j4

In the morning of the release day add the x bit again to make the
content show up and give mirrors time to catch up adding the x bit.

Remove the redirect rule before 12:00 UTC
