The steps to create the PyPI package and upload it can be automated easily. Can build on the code already in update_doc_conf.py file.

This script was originally written as a shell script to help with merge-forwards in the salt-jenkins repo. We should rewrite this to be a Python script so it can be more easily incorporated into the larger ossrelease system one day.

Once this is done, it should be moved out of the merge-forwards directory and into the ossrelease directory.

There is a _cmd_run function in the update_doc_conf.py file that will be very useful for other python scripts to come. This should be moved to a utils.py file so that future python files can use it.

This script was originally written as a shell script to help with merge-forwards in the salt-bootstrap repo for releasing an stable version. We should rewrite this to be a Python script so it can be more easily incorporated into the larger ossrelease system one day.

Once this is done, it should be moved out of the merge-forwards directory and into the ossrelease directory.

This script was originally written as a shell script to help with backports in salt. We should rewrite this to be a Python script so it can be more easily incorporated into the larger ossrelease system one day.

Once this is done, it should be moved out of the backports directory and into the ossrelease directory.

The current quantity of macs at c7 is not enough to run all the mac tests we want to run.

As we move to new branching strategy from saltstack/salt-enhancement-proposals#20 this msg and title need adjusting - this will need some planning and coordination
ossrelease/msgs/feature_branch_notice - likely there are more in the msg files

The version number is updated in the print.sls file in the builddocs repo. One such change is here: https://github.com/saltstack/builddocs/pull/17

It should be easy to add a quick script for this building on the update_doc_conf.py file.

The main thing a config file would do is set the --git-dir and --work-tree configuration options for files in this ossrelease repo. That way, the files wouldn't need to be "rallytime" specific and wouldn't require editing for each person/bot to use them.

The other useful thing would be to have a "remote" defined as well.

When the issues #1, #2, #3, #4, and #5 are completed, they should be rewritten to also take advantage of the config options (assuming this issue is fixed first).
