Dear developers, Launchpad has both the concepts of target for a release and milestone targets, which different groups use for different purposes. At UDS Prague we held a session on updating the procedures used for tracking Release Critical bugs to ensure clarity around how these settings are used in the context of a release.
The updated policy is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RCBugTargetting In brief it states: * Bugs are considered Release Critical when they are targeted for a release _and_ have priority High or above * Release Critical bugs should all have designated assignees responsible for fixing the bug * Bugs that are targeted for a release but have priorities Medium or below are targets of opportunity that should be fixed if possible but will not block the release * Bug targeted for a release _and_ milestoned are considered essential for the success of that particular milestone * Milestones on non-targeted bugs can be used by developers to track their own work Please read these guidelines and help us apply them consistently. This will ensure that Release Critical bugs show up on the appropriate Launchpad tracking pages and get the attention they require. Thank you.
