For general information on ASF releases, see: http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html
If this is a minor release (X.Y.0), start with creating a new branch. Example for 3.2.0:
git checkout master && git pull git checkout -b release-3.2 master
Replace version in master branch:
git checkout master git grep -l "3.2.0-incubating-SNAPSHOT"
For informational purpose, this should yield the list of files that needs the version number replaced to X.(Y+1).0 next version. Note that the replacement step is different between the repositories due to an open issue. See:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/APEXCORE-34
For -core:
dv=3.2.0-incubating-SNAPSHOT rv=3.3.0-incubating-SNAPSHOT for a in `git grep -l "${dv}"`; do echo $a; sed -i 's/'"${dv}"'/'"${rv}"'/g' $a; done
For -malhar:
mvn versions:set -DnewVersion=${rv} -Pall-modules
Commit and push the change:
git commit -am "Preparing for 3.3.0 development" git push apache master
For Java classes added since the last release, the @since tags need to be added. The javadoc plugin inserts missing tags, but does not play well with the license header when no class level documentation block is present. This is tracked as
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/APEXCORE-183
It also removes the custom @tags doclet tag when the existing JavaDoc is malformed, do not use this to make changes in Malhar. Until these problems are resolved, use the following Ruby script to do the replacement: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12781158/add-since.rb
Navigate to the unreleased version, example:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/APEXMALHAR/fixforversion/12334589
Obtain the release notes (text mode):
Shorten any wrapping and overly long titles to fit width. Copy the report and insert new release section into CHANGELOG.md with the release date set to 72 hours ahead to reflect the time for the vote.
Create shortlink for the JIRA release notes on http://s.apache.org/ for use in the VOTE thread. Example: http://s.apache.org/8uT
Commit tags and change log:
git commit -am "Add @since tags and update change log for release 3.2.0"
dv=3.2.0-incubating-SNAPSHOT rv=3.2.0-incubating
As mentioned earlier, use the following for -core releases:
for a in `git grep -l "${dv}"`; do echo $a; sed -i 's/'"${dv}"'/'"${rv}"'/g' $a; done
And this for -malhar releases:
mvn versions:set -Pall-modules -DnewVersion=${rv} -Pall-modules
Commit version change:
git commit -am "Preparing to release ${rv}-RC1"
git tag -a "v${rv}-RC1" -m "Release ${rv}-RC1"
Push to fork (as temporary branch), open pull request, wait for Travis CI build to succeed. Then push the tag.
git push apache "v${rv}-RC1"
The only difference between release branch and tag is this final version number change. The branch stays at -SNAPSHOT version.
Prerequisites:
~/.m2/settings.xmlBuild and deploy release candidate from RC tag:
git checkout "v${rv}-RC1"
git clean -d -f
mvn clean deploy -Papache-release -DskipTests -Dsonatype_user=<user>
Log on to https://repository.apache.org and look for Staging Repositories. “Close” the newly created orgapacheapex-xxxx staging repository to obtain the temporary URL, note it down for the VOTE thread.
Example URL: https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapacheapex-1000/
Copy files to distribution dir and create signatures and checksums. (Note this is per policy to stage these files outside of the Maven repository, otherwise everything below would happen automatically as defined in the parent POM.)
For -core releases:
md5sum apex-${rv}-source-release.tar.gz > apex-${rv}-source-release.tar.gz.md5 md5sum apex-${rv}-source-release.zip > apex-${rv}-source-release.zip.md5 shasum -a 512 apex-${rv}-source-release.tar.gz > apex-${rv}-source-release.tar.gz.sha shasum -a 512 apex-${rv}-source-release.zip > apex-${rv}-source-release.zip.sha gpg --armor --output apex-${rv}-source-release.tar.gz.asc --detach-sig apex-${rv}-source-release.tar.gz gpg --armor --output apex-${rv}-source-release.zip.asc --detach-sig apex-${rv}-source-release.zip
For -malhar releases:
md5sum malhar-${rv}-source-release.tar.gz > malhar-${rv}-source-release.tar.gz.md5 md5sum malhar-${rv}-source-release.zip > malhar-${rv}-source-release.zip.md5 shasum -a 512 malhar-${rv}-source-release.tar.gz > malhar-${rv}-source-release.tar.gz.sha shasum -a 512 malhar-${rv}-source-release.zip > malhar-${rv}-source-release.zip.sha gpg --armor --output malhar-${rv}-source-release.tar.gz.asc --detach-sig malhar-${rv}-source-release.tar.gz gpg --armor --output malhar-${rv}-source-release.zip.asc --detach-sig malhar-${rv}-source-release.zip
Check files into the dist staging area:
mkdir svn-dist && cp *-source-* svn-dist/ svn import svn-dist https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/apex/v${rv}-RC1 -m "Apache Apex v${rv}-RC1"
PPMC vote call sample: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-apex-dev/201601.mbox/%3CCAKJfLDOj58dtfWTw2oBfm5GsyZqsbWCYFSCro9U%2BJw2%2BTFbVpQ%40mail.gmail.com%3E
PPMC vote result: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-apex-dev/201510.mbox/%3CCAKJfLDOY-SpcJfdFiJosoyZ2JidursecietvhT5AgUeX-%3Dw-Tw%40mail.gmail.com%3E
Once PPMC vote passes, another vote needs to be called for IPMC (only IPMC votes are binding).
IPMC vote result: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-general/201510.mbox/%3CCA%2B5xAo2O8aqg3Z0-y0hiyq5aFskYrMDG-xYbdfQR8YGCiiGAjA%40mail.gmail.com%3E
If the vote is not successful, a new RC needs to be built. Once IPMC vote passes, proceed with promoting and announcing the release.
Release Nexus staging repository: http://central.sonatype.org/pages/releasing-the-deployment.html#close-and-drop-or-release-your-staging-repository
Move source release from dist staging to release folder:
svn mv https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/apex/v3.2.0-incubating-RC2 https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/apex/v3.2.0-incubating
Close release and all associated tickets Create version number X.Y.Z+1 for next release
Create final release tag:
git tag -a "v3.2.0-incubating" -m "Release 3.2.0-incubating" "v3.2.0-incubating-RC2" git push apache "v3.2.0-incubating"
Bump patch version number in release branch (X.Y.Z+1 - otherwise same as when creating new release branch):
git checkout release-3.2 dv=3.2.0-incubating-SNAPSHOT rv=3.2.1-incubating-SNAPSHOT for a in `git grep -l "${dv}"`; do echo $a; sed -i 's/'"${dv}"'/'"${rv}"'/g' $a; done git commit -am "Preparing for 3.2.1 development"
Merge @since tag and change log changes to master
