How to make Quarterly Updates for Leap

This is the highlevel description of the process to make a Quarterly Update Install media respin.

If you're interested in schedule then read openSUSE:Roadmap instead.

1. Unlock https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/openSUSE:Leap:15.3:Update:Respin
2. Ensure that standard is not disabled for building (common practice to avoid re-writing good candidate)
3. Ensure that build is imported to openQA, should be visible in https://openqa.opensuse.org/group_overview/88
4. Contact autobuild regarding bump of respin number (release) in obs publisher script for Update:Respin
5. Go through failed tests results and process them (link bugs, poo issues, update needles etc)
6. Reference "@ttm ignore" in comment section of test runs to waive a failed tests
7. Trigger https://botmaster.suse.de/go/pipeline/activity/TTM.Leap_15.3_Update_Respin and process any remaining outstanding issues referenced at the console (this is also triggered automatically, unless disabled, please validate ahead)
8. Once the pipeline finishes the content should be visible in /srv/ftp-stage/pub/opensuse/distribution/openSUSE-current/iso/
9. As agreed in https://github.com/openSUSE/get-o-o/issues/71 You will need to manually update -Current symlinks to point to the latest -Media symlinks for the updated media. This can be done by triggering /home/mirror/bin/update_leap_current_symlink under mirror user at the pontifex host (requires Heroes VPN access)
10. At this point get-o-o does not require any update, as we use version less -Current symlink for both DVD and NET images (appliances and live are separate topic).
11. Once reviewing symlinks please rsync changes from ftp-stage to ftp-prod by running manually publish_distro publish_leap153.config as mirror user at pontifex. Otherwise changes will not be visible at download.o.o. You will have to bump the respin number in the leap153.config publish_distro first!
12. Last step would be osc lock openSUSE:Leap:15.3:Update:Respin

Symlinks are expected to be pointing at -Media symlinks that contain the respin version (release)
