Deploying Releases/Snapshots

This document describes how to deploy releases and snapshots specifically for Apache Ratis. For general information about Publishing Maven Artifacts at Apache, see http://www.apache.org/dev/publishing-maven-artifacts.html

Prerequisite

It requires committer access in order to deploy releases and snapshots.

Environment Setup

To publish, use the following settings.xml file (placed in ~/.m2/settings.xml )

<settings>
<servers>
  <server>
    <id>apache.releases.https</id>
    <username> <!-- YOUR APACHE LDAP USERNAME --> </username>
    <password> <!-- YOUR APACHE LDAP PASSWORD (encrypted) --> </password>
  </server>

  <server>
    <id>apache.snapshots.https</id>
    <username> <!-- YOUR APACHE LDAP USERNAME --> </username>
    <password> <!-- YOUR APACHE LDAP PASSWORD (encrypted) --> </password>
  </server>
</servers>
</settings>

To use encrypted password, see http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-encryption.html

For OpenPGP setup, see http://www.apache.org/dev/openpgp.html

How to Deploy

We use Apache Maven Deploy Plugin to deploy artifacts.

mvn deploy
(or)
mvn -s /my/path/settings.xml deploy

We also use release profile for building the release.

mvn install -Prelease -Papache-release

Steps for Deploying a Snapshot

1. Test the artifacts locally.

   1. Clean, shade and compile everything.
   2. Run all tests.

2. Set snapshot version locally.

   1. Get the last commit id <ABBREV_COMMIT_ID>.
      • git log --abbrev-commit --abbrev=7 --pretty=oneline | head -1
   2. Set the versions of local artifacts.
      • mvn versions:set -DnewVersion=<VERSION>-<ABBREV_COMMIT_ID>-SNAPSHOT

3. If everything works fine, run the following command to publish artifacts to Apache repository

   • mvn deploy -DskipTests -DskipShade

4. Verify the snapshot artifacts published in

   • https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/snapshots/org/apache/ratis/

Finally, you may delete the pom.xml.versionsBackup files by

find . -name pom.xml.versionsBackup | xargs rm
