new lts

1. (deadsnakes/runbooks) create new Dockerfile for the release

   for example:

   ./make-new-image --codename resolute ../py3.11/work/debian/control | tee dockerfiles/Dockerfile.resolute

   then commit and push

2. for each py#.# (that still successfully builds)

   if there are commits past mainline on the default branch create a backport branch

   • (often from git log -1 --format=%H -- changelogs/mainline)
   • merge back to main when done

   perform the following steps

   1. edit the targets in .github/workflows/main.yml
   2. create new debiandirs/<codename> (often cd debiandirs; ln -s $prev $codename)
   3. create new changelogs/{mainline,nightly}/<codename> (often cp changelogs/mainline/{$prev,$codename}) (sometimes cp changelogs/nightly/{$prev,$codename})
   4. bump version in changelog
      • ../runbooks/meta-gbp changelog --only $codename -m 'rebuild for $codename'
   5. make sure it builds!
      • ../runbooks/meta-gbp materialize $codename
      • ../runbooks/meta-gbp build
   6. upload it!
      • ../runbooks/meta-gbp build --source
      • ../runbooks/meta-gbp upload
