Summary

All Activities shipped in the Mirabelle release will continue to be shipped in Mango Lassi if they pass a basic smoke test. These Activities will be updated so that Mango Lassi ships the latest stable version of their code, which may mean that some Activities that were in Mirabelle will have improvements or new features in their Mango Lassi version.

Detailed Description

I think #Summary pretty much covers it.

Benefit to Sugar

More recent version of Activities get deployed and used, and hopefully feedback on those more recent version will be received.

Scope

For each Activity shipped in Mirabelle...

  1. Get the latest stable version of the Activity from either ASLO or git
  2. Smoke-test to see if that version of the Activity works. If yes, move on; if no, roll back a stable version until it does.
  3. Update the Fedora package for that Activity to that version of its code.
  4. Document (for Marketing, on a talking-points list when there is one for the Mango Lassi version of SoaS) any significant feature improvements for that Activity that have occurred between its Mirabelle version and its Mango Lassi version.

That's it; the updated packages will be automatically pulled into the Mango Lassi image.

UI Design

Not applicable.

How To Test

Using the image under test, run each Activity from Mirabelle through the standard SoaS Activity smoke-test (which needs to be written).

User Experience

Users who have experienced the prior Mirabelle release of SoaS will notice that their old familiar Activities are still there, but that some have new features.

Dependencies

This feature depends on individual Activities, as it is a pull of their updated code.

Contingency Plan

None necessary, revert to previous release behaviour.

Documentation

No documentation, though we can and probably should link to individual usage documentation for each of these Activities being shipped.

Release Notes

We can't write this section until we have release notes for each upstream (Activity) being updated.
