Whiteboard

Meta:
Roadmap id: VIRT_PLAT_RELEASE_PROCESS
Headline: linaro-image-tools is not continuously validating that all releases still work and the release process includes having all releases work a requirement.
Acceptance: jenkins job testing all old releass on all main boards are running; release process includes taking the jenkins job input as validation data.

[dooferlad 2012-10-08] Plan is to fix up the Linaro Fetch Image database so we can use that and the fetch image tools to download and build images. This should only involve updating the fetch image indexer to match the latest layout of snapshots and releases.

[deepti 2012-10-18] Link to the wiki detailing all the information related to the Linaro Image Tools Regression setup and other details is present @ https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Infrastructure/LITRegression_Setup
[danilo 2012-10-23] This has been completed according to acceptance criteria - one thing we might want to ensure happens is that all new Linaro releases get appropriate jobs created.
