+title: Rocky Release Procedures for SIG/Core (RelEng/Infrastructure)
+---
+
+This SOP contains all the steps required by SIG/Core (a mix of Release
+Engineering and Infrastructure) to perform releases of all Rocky Linux
+versions. Work is in all collaboration within the entire group of
+engineerings.

+## Notes about Release Day
+
+Within a minimum of two (2) days, the following should be true:
+
+1. Torrents should be setup. All files can be synced with the seed box(es) but
+not yet published. The data should be verified using sha256sum and compared to
+the CHECKSUM files provided with the files.
+
+2. Website should be ready (typically with an open PR in github). The content
+should be verified that the design and content are correct and finalized.
+
+3. Enough mirrors should be setup. This essentially means that all content for
+a release should be synced to our primary mirror with the executable bit turned
+off, and the content should also be hard linked. In theory, mirror manager can
+be queried to verify if mirrors are or appear to be in sync.
+
+## Notes about Patch Days
+
+## Prior to Release Day notes
+
+## Release Day
+
+## Priorities
+
+During release day, these should be verified/completed in order:
+
+1. Website - The primary website and user landing at rockylinux.org should allow
+the user to efficiently click through to a download link of an ISO, image, or
+torrent. It must be kept up.
+
+2. Torrent - The seed box(es) should be primed and ready to go for users
+downloading via torrent.
+
+3. Release Notes & Documentation - The release notes are often on the same
+website as the documentation. The main website and where applicable in the docs
+should refer to the Release Notes of Rocky Linux.
+
+4. Wiki - If applicable, the necessary changes and resources should be available
+for a release. In particular, if a major release has new repos, changed repo names,
+this should be documented.
+
+5. Everything else!
