F11: things to check in a release tree before a release

[Seth Vidal]

Going through a variety of checks for things that could be broken in a 
release tree, I decided to type up a list of the things we should be 
checking for.

• metadata matches
• comps correct
• file conflicts
• normal conflicts
• no obsoleted pkgs in tree
• report all triggers
• look for all postrans/pretrans things
• unresolveable requires
• self-provided filedeps
• self-provided normal deps
• old versions of pkgs left over


Some of them are not explicitly things which are broken in a release, just 
things it would be wise to make sure are sane. Triggers,pretrans and 
posttrans are good examples of that.

Can anyone think of any others that we should report/check for?
