Apache Directory Project

This repository contains the Maven parent POM and some shared resources of the Apache Directory project.

Release Process

(See also https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/DIRxDEV/Top+Level+Pom+Management+Policy)

Prepare the POM

mvn release:prepare -DdryRun=true

Deploy a snapshot

mvn deploy

This is useful to verify your settings in ~/.m2/settings.xml (Nexus password and GPG key)

Prepare the release

mvn release:clean
mvn release:prepare

When asked for the SCM release tag please remove the project prefix, the version number is enough.

This creates a tag here: https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf?p=directory-project.git

Stage the release

mvn release:perform

This deploys the POM to a staging repository. Go to https://repository.apache.org/index.html#stagingRepositories and close the staging repository.

Inform dev list

Inform the dev list to publish (release) this POM. After a 4 hour grace period the POM can be released, therefore go to https://repository.apache.org/index.html#stagingRepositories and release the staging repository.
