Apache OpenWhisk Project Release Management

License Build Status

The primary goal of this project is to provide the Apache OpenWhisk project‘s Release Managers the instructions and automation needed to guarantee a release complies with both the Apache Software Foundation’s (ASF) Release Creation Process and Release Policy.

Specifically, this repository provides Release Management of all designated Apache OpenWhisk project repositories, by automating:

  • Verification of the source code LICENSE and NOTICE files
  • Building & deploying the OpenWhisk platform
  • Running Build Verification Tests (BVT)
  • Generating CHANGELOGs for each project repository (since last release)
  • Packaging and signing source code (compressed archives) and binaries
  • publishing the artifacts to the approved Apache directories

all in accordance with Apache guidelines.

Release Process

Methodology

This project uses Travis CI as the automated integration build tool to streamline the release process of Apache OpenWhisk. Stages can be applied to build different jobs, which are able to run either in sequential or parallel. Artifacts can be shared across different jobs by using the cache feature in Travis, as different jobs run on different virtual machines.

Instructions

Please follow the Instructions for Release Managers.

Publishing

Staged candidate releases of Apache OpenWhisk artifacts are published to the approved staging repository path under Apache with all required PGP singatures:

Once candidates are approved, in accordance with required release processes and policies, their artifacts can be moved from the staging path to the approved release path:
