Adjust the timeline docs and release infrastructure template to have numbers before the phases. This makes clearer where the next phase begins in the long infrastructure issue template.

# Release Timeline
|
|
|
|
The calendar week (CW) numbers in this document get updated before the next
|
|
release cycle starts. Get the current CW with `date +%V`. During the release
|
|
cycle we try to follow this plan closely, but it can happen that we run
|
|
over the planned CWs.
|
|
|
|
## 1. Pre-Build
|
|
|
|
CW 21 <small>(2026-05-18 - 2026-05-24)</small>
|
|
|
|
Release branches are not yet in feature freeze, but we should avoid making
|
|
major changes to main.
|
|
|
|
Team:
|
|
* Create the [infrastructure
|
|
issue](https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/issues/new?description_template=Release_Infrastructure)
|
|
(which has more detailed tasks for the team for each phase, the document here
|
|
just gives a rough overview).
|
|
* Create the release branch in pmaports.
|
|
* Start building of binary packages early, so we can get through it for sure.
|
|
|
|
## 2. Branch
|
|
|
|
CW 22 <small>(2026-05-25 - 2026-05-31)</small>,
|
|
CW 23 <small>(2026-06-01 - 2026-06-07)</small>
|
|
|
|
The release branch is in **feature freeze**:
|
|
|
|
We can cherry pick fixes where it makes sense, but can't add features to the
|
|
release branch anymore (exceptions can be made if there is a good reason).
|
|
|
|
Team:
|
|
* Rebase the release branch on main once
|
|
* Build binary packages and images (configure BPO for that)
|
|
|
|
## 3. Test
|
|
|
|
CW 24 <small>(2026-06-08 - 2026-06-14)</small>
|
|
|
|
Maintainers:
|
|
* Test your devices and UIs (test yourself if you can and/or coordinate with
|
|
the [Testing Team](https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Testing_Team))
|
|
* Report back in the issue ([template for devices](https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Kernel_upgrade_testing#Stable_release_testing))
|
|
* Fix stuff that is broken by creating MRs against pmaports main and assigning
|
|
the `backport-to-YY.MM` label
|
|
|
|
## 4. Release
|
|
|
|
CW 25 <small>(2026-06-15 - 2026-06-21)</small>
|
|
|
|
Team:
|
|
* Write the release blog post.
|
|
|
|
Team + Maintainers:
|
|
* Celebrate with party hats and get wasted.
