| Releasing Apache OpenJPA |
| ========================= |
| |
| Licensed under Apache License 2.0 - http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 |
| |
| |
| == Summary |
| |
| These instructions describe how perform an official release of the Apache OpenJPA project. |
| |
| |
| == Prerequisits |
| |
| |
| * You need a valid Apache account and |
| * Maven installed on your box |
| * Java 6 or 7 |
| * Do NOT Release with Java 8 yet! |
| * TODO probably we require a ~/.m2/toolchains.xml set up correctly in the future |
| |
| |
| |
| == Manual Release Preparation Steps |
| |
| * Make sure you have the latest version checked out and no local modifications |
| $> svn up |
| $> svn st |
| This should not show any dirty files |
| |
| * Run a full build |
| $> mvn clean install |
| |
| |
| |
| == Performing the Release |
| |
| We use maven to roll the release. Please make sure you understand how |
| the Apache Maven maven-release-plugin works: |
| http://maven.apache.org/maven-release/maven-release-plugin/ |
| |
| |
| === Running the release prepare steps |
| |
| $> mvn release:prepare |
| |
| Depending on your location you probably get an error for the first time. |
| This happens if you hit a svn mirror which is not updated quickly enough. |
| Simply rerun this step after a few seconds. No worries, maven will continue |
| exactly where it left off. |
| |
| === Validating the tag |
| |
| You should now get a fresh tag in https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openjpa/tags/ |
| Please verify that the tag looks good and that all pom.xml files really got updated. |
| |
| |
| === Running the release perform steps |
| |
| $> mvn release:perform |
| |
| This will finally do a clean checkout from the freshly generated tag and |
| |
| |
| |
| == Verifying the Maven Staging Repository |
| |
| Login in to https://repository.apache.org/ |
| Navigate to 'Staging Repositories' and verify the content of your release. |
| Then 'close' the staging and copy the URL of the staging repository |
