Criteria for Create a Patch Release

Patch releases are to be used only for critical bug fixes. Here is a list of typical critical problems:


  • Security issue that threatens anti-theft; or a known exploit that threatens >100 laptops (?)
  • Datastore or Journal problems resulting in loss of data
  • Laptops crash more often than 1/day with typical use
  • Laptops cause disruptions to other services (non-XO)
  • A core feature or functionality is not working or fails (Browse, Write, Read, Chat, Power Management(after update1), telepathy)
