Thunderbird 3.0 branch flags, checkins and tracking
Mark Banner
security and stability releases.
We now have several wiki pages detailing various aspects about our
current branches. Please familiarise yourselves with them especially if
you're going to be doing work towards the branches.
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird/Thunderbird3_Security_And_Stability_Releases
This contains:
* an explanation of the general procedure to follow when wanting to get
a patch into the 3.0.x branch
* status tracking bug queries for blocking, fixed, unverified bugs etc.
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird/Release_Driving/Flags
This pages explains the flags we now have in use, what the values are
and who/can set them.
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Tree_Rules/comm-central
Explains the areas in the tree that each project manages, and the
current rules for those areas.
There is some overlap in some of these pages and I'll probably think
about better ways to lay them out as we move forward with security
releases, but for now I think these should give us most of the details
we need.

Thanks Mark, I think it is a bit clearer now. I got confused that a
branch of "comm-central" wouldn't appear in the "branches" section on
http://hg.mozilla.org/comm-central/summary
I now found it on this page:
http://hg.mozilla.org/releases
which is good to keep in mind, I guess ;)
