[PATCH 0/4] misc/release-checklist: Updates prompted by recent release

[PATCH 0/4] misc/release-checklist: Updates prompted by recent release

[Ian Jackson]

When doing the recent stable release branches, I tripped over some
deficiencies in these checklists.  And, now that they are in git, we
can much more safely throw away a lot of ancient stuff.

Please shout if you have any objections.  I hope to push this today.

Ian.

[PATCH 1/4] misc/release-checklist: Remove clearly-obsolete stuff

[Ian Jackson]

Remove:

 - Head comment saying not to edit here.  This came from the
   now-no-longer-master xenbits copy which I have deleted.

 - Many old (commented-out) instruction related to hg

 - Many old (commented-out) instruction related to pre-unified
   qemu trees.

 - Many old (commented-out) instruction related to ancient
   locations within Citrix.

[PATCH 2/4] misc/release-checklist: Remove pre-4.3 tarball target instructions

[Ian Jackson]

4.2 is well out of support and we will never need to make a release of
it again.  Delete all the stuff for making combined tarballs "by hand".

Wouldn't this then better get the comment at the end of the line
dropped too?

Does this Mercurial stuff need keeping?

This also looks to be Mercurial related.

No objections; I've just sent a few minor comments.

Maybe.  It doesn't hurt cut-and-paste, and means that if anyone tries
this with 4.1.x for some absurd reason, they don't trip over it.
If you want to remove it I don't object.

I'd rather not let the perfect be the enemy of the tolerable, here.

No.  But, I think I would prefer to clean this out when I (or someone
else) next goes through this checklist, rather than proactively.  This
kind of thing is really easy to get right when you're actually doing
it.
