This guide comprises of all the steps to prepare, run a release and follow up on the next steps.
Open the file ~/.gradle/gradle.properties and add the following information:
asfNexusUsername=${asf LDAP id}
asfNexusPassword=${asf LDAP password}
signing.keyId=${GPG key ID}
signing.gnupg.keyName=${GPG key ID}
Make sure your computer has gpg utilities installed. Follow the Gradle signing plugin's GPG agent instructions to set up.
Create a new release branch formed with the major.minor version numbers (see semver for glossary). For 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT version, the release branch will therefore be 1.0.
git checkout -b 1.0 git push origin 1.0
For patch releases, use the existing release branch.
Change the version number in the master branch in a commit and push.
Example: https://github.com/apache/incubator-tuweni/commit/0330d134f579034b9d943870ea31316899632a11
In your release branch:
export BUILD_RELEASE=true export ENABLE_SIGNING=true ./gradlew stage
Go to repository.apache.org and find the open repository that was created during the upload.
Click “Close” in the workflow buttons at the top.
Go to github.com, click tags and find your release.
Edit the tag and add release notes.
Make sure to mark the release as “pre-release”.
Send an email to dev@tuweni.apache.org with the following:
Subject:[VOTE] Apache Tuweni ${RELEASE VERSION} release
We're voting on the source distributions available here:
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/tuweni/${RELEASE VERSION}/
The release tag is present here:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-tuweni/releases/tag/v${RELEASE VERSION}
Please review and vote as appropriate.
The following changes were made since ${PREVIOUS VERSION}:
${fill in changes}
The vote should be opened for at least 72 hours, longer if there is a week-end.
After the time of the vote has elapsed, close the vote thread with a recap showing the votes.
The next step is to email the general incubator list. If 3 IPMC votes were collected in the first vote, this is a notification.
If less than 3 votes were collected, this email is a new vote asking for more IPMC +1s.
If a vote was called on the IPMC list, close it in the same fashion with a recap.
Move the files from https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/tuweni/${RELEASE VERSION}/ to https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/tuweni/${RELEASE VERSION}/:
svn move -m "Move Apache Tuweni ${RELEASE VERSION} to releases" https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/tuweni/${RELEASE VERSION} https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/tuweni/${RELEASE VERSION}
Go to repository.apache.org to the closed repository you closed during the RC process.
Click on it and press the release workflow button at the top.
Go to the repository here and perform this change:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-tuweni-website/commit/77066736df2997991e3a1954f41ced1c7a52999d
Go to builds.apache.org, and run this build:
https://builds.apache.org/job/Apache%20Tuweni/job/website/
It takes an hour for the changes to be pushed out.
Test the downloads page (wait 24h for mirrors to update).
The email goes to dev@tuweni.apache.org, general@incubator.apache.org, and announce@apache.org. This email must be sent from an @apache.org email.
Subject: [ANNOUNCE] Apache Tuweni (incubating) ${RELEASE VERSION} released
The Apache Tuweni team is proud to announce the release of Apache Tuweni
(incubating) ${RELEASE VERSION}.
Apache Tuweni is a set of libraries and other tools to aid development of
blockchain and other decentralized software in Java and other JVM
languages. It includes a low-level bytes library, serialization and
deserialization codecs (e.g. RLP), various cryptography functions
and primatives, and lots of other helpful utilities. Tuweni is
developed for JDK 1.8 or higher, and depends on various other FOSS libraries.

Disclaimer: Apache Tuweni is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache
Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator. Incubation is
required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates
that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have
stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While
incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or
stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be
fully endorsed by the ASF.
If applicable mark the version as released.
