v21.12 SP2 release checklist

• create a branch for it (like v21.03.1)
• create a discussion issue, where we can write down if something is missing or if something in that branch is debatable
  • add the following labels:
    • release-vYY.MM
    • service-pack-discussion
  • add it to Releases (under Service Packs / planned)
• after merging patches into pmaports master or aports master, that we want to have in the service pack: just immediately cherry-pick it to the branch (no merge request and not much code review, we'll review before releasing it)
• Update the version number in the rootfs-etc-os-release file in the postmarketos-base package to add/update the service pack number after the regular branch version
• shortly (~1 week?) before releasing the service pack, create the merge request
  • Add the following labels:
    • release-vYY.MM
    • backport after merging the service pack:
  • homepage:
    • publish a blog post with a short overview of changes
      • as usually, create a merge request, make sure the team sees and reviews it
    • in config/download.py, change latest_release_title to e.g. "Release v21.03.1" (but not latest_release, this gets used for the download link!)
• close the related issue
• create a new issue for the next service pack
  • #1423 (closed)
• update Releases wiki page
