Release

Licenses

The root directory contains LICENSE and NOTICE files for the source distribution. The product directory contains LICENSE and NOTICE files for the binary distributions, including licenses for bundled dependencies.

Release artifacts

We release the following artifacts:

  • Source zip (the main artifact we vote on)
  • Maven artifacts
    • poms
    • plugins: pom, jar, javadoc, src
    • features: pom, jar, src
    • helps: pom, jar, src
  • P2 repositories
    • the main features (LDAP Browser, Schema Editor, ApacheDS)
    • dependencies
  • Product archives and installers for
    • Linux GTK 64bit tar.gz
    • maxOS 64bit dmg
    • Windows 64bit exe installer and zip
  • Userguides

Signing keys

Define the PGP key used to sign the artifacts and the Apple signing ID used to sign the DMG:

export RELEASE_KEY=28686142
export APPLE_SIGNING_ID=2GLGAFWEQD

Note: those are Stefan's keys, replace with your own.

Preparation

Update the copyright year. Full text search/replace “2006-2021”. Also change in plugins/rcp/src/main/resources/splash.bmp image.

Test the release build: rat check, javadoc and source jar generation, installer generation, GPG signing, userguide generation:

mvn -f pom-first.xml clean install
mvn -Papache-release,windows,macos -Duserguides clean install

Note: During creation of the macOS installer (DMG) the ApacheDirectoryStudio.app is signed with the ASF “Developer ID Application” key. See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-16978 for the process to get one.

Test the notarization of the macOS installer (requires app-specific password generated at https://appleid.apple.com/):

cd installers/macos/target
xcrun altool --notarize-app --primary-bundle-id "org.apache.directory.studio" --username "you@apache.org" --password "app-specific-password" --file ApacheDirectoryStudio-*.dmg

Wait for the successful notarization (email notification).

Test the build and sign process for distribution packages:

export VERSION=2.0.0-SNAPSHOT
cd dist
./dist.sh

Test the distribution packages:

  • Test generated bin archives, installers, and update site (if possible on all platforms).
  • Review generated user guides (pdf, html, Eclipse help)
  • Review the generated source archive
  • Verify signatures and checksums

Run UI tests (if possible on all platforms):

mvn clean install -Denable-ui-tests

Release build steps

As Tycho doesn't support the maven-release-plugin the release process is as follows:

Define release version

We use a release number scheme that suites for both, Maven and Eclipse.

<MAJOR>.<MINOR>.<PATCH>.v<YYYYMMDD>[-M<X>|RC<X>]

Example for milestone version: 2.0.0.v20150529-M9. Example for GA version: 2.0.1.v20150529.

Define a variable for later use:

export VERSION=2.0.0.v20150529-M9

Create and checkout branch

git checkout -b $VERSION-prepare
git push origin $VERSION-prepare

Remove OpenLDAP feature

As long as the org.apache.directory.studio.openldap.feature is not ready for release it needs to be removed from product/org.apache.directory.studio.product then commit

git commit -am "Remove openldap feature for release"

Set the version and commit

find . -name pom-first.xml | xargs sed -i 's/2.0.0-SNAPSHOT/'$VERSION'/'
find . -name pom-first.xml | xargs sed -i 's/2.0.0.qualifier/'$VERSION'/'
sed -i 's/2.0.0-SNAPSHOT/'$VERSION'/' pom.xml
mvn -f pom-first.xml clean install
git checkout pom.xml
mvn org.eclipse.tycho:tycho-versions-plugin:1.7.0:set-version -DnewVersion=$VERSION
git commit -am "Set version number for release $VERSION"
git push origin $VERSION-prepare

Create the release tag

git tag $VERSION
git push origin $VERSION

Clone the repo and checkout the tag into a fresh directory

Run the actual release within a fresh checkout to ensure no previous build artifacts are used.

mkdir studio-release
cd studio-release
git clone https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/directory-studio.git .
git checkout $VERSION

Build the release and deploy to staging Nexus repository

mvn -f pom-first.xml clean install
mvn -Papache-release,windows,macos -Duserguides -DretryFailedDeploymentCount=3 clean deploy

Close the staging Nexus repository

See https://repository.apache.org/#stagingRepositories

Notarize the macOS installer

cd installers/macos/target
xcrun altool --notarize-app --primary-bundle-id "org.apache.directory.studio" --username "you@apache.org" --password "app-specific-password" --file ApacheDirectoryStudio-*.dmg

Wait for the successful notarization (email notification), then staple (attach) the notarization ticket to the DMG:

xcrun stapler staple ApacheDirectoryStudio-*.dmg

Package and sign distribution packages

There is a script that collects and signs all update sites and distribution packages.

Run the dist script:

cd dist
./dist.sh

Afterwards all distribution packages and user guides are located in target.

Upload the distribution packages to SVN

cd target/dist/$VERSION
svn mkdir https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/directory/studio/$VERSION -m "Create dev area for release $VERSION"
svn co https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/directory/studio/$VERSION .
svn add *
svn commit -m "Add release $VERSION"
cd ../../..

Upload the user guides

Upload the content of target/ug/$VERSION using WebDAVs to nightlies.apache.org/directory/studio/$VERSION/userguide.

Call the vote

Start the vote.

Publish

After successful vote publish the artifacts.

Release artifacts in Nexus.

Move distribution packages from dev area to release:

svn mv https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/directory/studio/$VERSION https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/directory/studio/$VERSION -m "Release $VERSION"

Wait 24h for mirror rsync.

Update site

The update site needs to be updated.

In the following files

  • static/studio/update/compositeArtifacts--xml.html
  • static/studio/update/compositeContent--xml.html
  • static/studio/update/product/compositeArtifacts--xml.html
  • static/studio/update/product/compositeContent--xml.html

change the location path to the new release and also update the p2.timestamp to the current timestamp milliseconds (hint: date +%s000)

Website

Update version, changelog, and news:

  • config.toml: version_studio and version_studio_name
  • static/studio/.htaccess
  • source/studio/changelog.md
  • source/studio/news.md

Eclipse Marketplace

Update entry in Eclipse Marketplace: https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/apache-directory-studio

Also test to install the plugins from marketplace.

Mac Ports

Update entry in Mac Ports: https://ports.macports.org/port/directory-studio

Update Apache Reporter

Add release to https://reporter.apache.org/addrelease.html?directory

Send announce email

Send the release announce email.

Cleanup

Delete old releases from https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/directory/studio/, ensure they were already archived to https://archive.apache.org/dist/directory/studio/.
