             Summary: Document use of ?update=YYYYMMDDhhmm for security releases
                 Key: SVN-4777
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-4777
             Project: Subversion
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: infrastructure, tools
            Reporter: Daniel Shahaf (äñ§€¥£¢)


One of the ways in which the workflow for a security release differs from that of a normal release is that the {{?update=YYYYMMDDhhmm}} parameter to download.cgi needs to updated in subversion.apache.org's sidebar and used in the emailed release announcement.

This needs to be documented clearly in the release procedure documentation in HACKING (possibly by reference to the [www.apache.org/dev/|http://www.apache.org/dev/] or [www.apache.org/security/|http://www.apache.org/security/] documentation of this parameter, but in such a way that an RM doing a security release will follow the reference).
