<h2 id="getting-ready">Getting ready</h2>
<ol>
<li>Ensure that the master POM and Struts Annotations have current releases</li>
<li>Review JIRA for any issues without a fix version set, and for any issues that should be resolved for the pending release.</li>
<li>Ensure that there are no <code class="highlighter-rouge">repositories</code> or <code class="highlighter-rouge">pluginRepositories</code> listed in the poms.</li>
<li>Release the upcoming version in JIRA (under Administration/Manage Releases) and tag the release date</li>
<li>Add next milestone version to the JIRA roadmap</li>
<li>Create DONE and TODO filters for the new version, share with all, and remove obsolete TODO filter</li>
<li>Create a new Version Notes page in Confluence, link from <a href="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WW/Migration+Guide">Migration Guide</a>,
and link to prior release page and JIRA DONE filters of the version to release</li>
</ol>
<blockquote>
<p>Please remember to keep BOM subproject in sync - <struts-version.version>X.X.X</struts-version.version> - must be
the same as the parent pom. The latest Maven version handles this case very well, but it’s worth checking if the bits
are in sync.</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>If needed, you can use <a href="http://mojo.codehaus.org/versions-maven-plugin/">Versions Maven Plugin</a> to set -SNAPSHOT version
in all poms, like below:
<code class="highlighter-rouge">mvn versions:set -DnewVersion=2.3.16.1-SNAPSHOT -DgenerateBackupPoms=false</code></p>
</blockquote>
<h2 id="prepare-release">Prepare release</h2>
<p>Tag the release by using the “release:prepare” goal of Maven:</p>
<div class="highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>mvn release:prepare -DautoVersionSubmodules=true
</code></pre></div></div>
<p>For a <a href="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-release-plugin/usage.html">dry run</a>, add <code class="highlighter-rouge">-DdryRun=true</code>. If you do a dry
run, use <code class="highlighter-rouge">mvn release:clean</code> to clean up after you have looked at the output.</p>
<p>When prompted for the SCM tag name, follow this pattern: <code class="highlighter-rouge">STRUTS_2_5_[PATCH_VERSION]</code></p>
<blockquote>
<p>If you get an error message, try to re-run <code class="highlighter-rouge">mvn release:prepare -DautoVersionSubmodules=true</code> command again,
-Dresume flag is set to true by default and the plugin will resume the release process from where it failed before.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Follow the link to get <a href="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-release-plugin/examples/prepare-release.html">more information</a>
about performed operation by release plugin.</p>
<h2 id="perform-the-release">Perform the release</h2>
<div class="highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>mvn release:perform -DretryFailedDeploymentCount=10
</code></pre></div></div>
<p>Follow the link to get <a href="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-release-plugin/examples/perform-release.html">more information</a>
about performed operation by release plugin. After this step the artifacts will be hosted by <a href="http://repository.apache.org/">Nexus</a>.</p>
<p>The <code class="highlighter-rouge">-DretryFailedDeploymentCount=10</code> is needed when there are problems with network connection (used just in case).</p>
<p>If you need to run perform again, (or in a different box), do:</p>
<div class="highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>git checkout STRUTS_2_5_[PATCH_VERSION]
mvn javadoc:javadoc deploy --no-plugin-updates -DperformRelease=true -Papache-release
</code></pre></div></div>
<p>Next, log in to <a href="http://repository.apache.org/">Nexus</a> and <strong>close</strong> staging repository.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Repository is identified by user name and public IP address, so if in meantime your IP changed, a new staging repository
will be created, so you must drop the old one (check the dates!) - if IP is the same, artifacts will be uploaded
to the same repository as first attempt.</p>
</blockquote>
<h2 id="move-the-assemblies">Move the assemblies</h2>
<p>To simplify testing, the assemblies have to be moved to the <code class="highlighter-rouge">https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/struts/$VERSION</code> dir.</p>
<p>After closing repository in Nexus, check if the release files are available from staging repository as bellow:</p>
<div class="highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/staging/org/apache/struts/struts2-assembly/$VERSION/
</code></pre></div></div>
<p>In order to move the assemblies login to people.apache.org and execute the following code:</p>
<div class="highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="c">#!/bin/sh</span>

<span class="nb">cd</span> ..
rm <span class="nt">-r</span> struts-dev
<span class="nb">echo</span> <span class="s2">"Done!"</span>
</code></pre></div></div>
<p>After this step artifacts are available for test here <a href="https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/struts/">https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/struts/</a></p>
<h2 id="announce-availability">Announce availability</h2>
<p>Send a short e-mail to <code class="highlighter-rouge">dev@struts.a.o</code> informing about the new packages and to give people enough time to test
the distribution (actual bits). Wait around a week before posting Vote. If no show-stoppers reported, start a vote thread
for build quality designation.</p>
<h2 id="push-changes">Push changes</h2>
<p>Do not forget to push your local changes to the Apache repo</p>
<div class="highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>git push
</code></pre></div></div>
<h2 id="vote-on-it">Vote on it</h2>
<p>Post a release/quality vote to the dev list (and <strong>only</strong> the dev list). The example mail is on <a href="sample-announcements">Sample announcements</a>
page. If the vote result is for an ASF release (i.e. not test build), update site, announce. If the vote result is for GA,
push to central.</p>
<h2 id="copy-files">Copy files</h2>
<p>After the vote, if the distribution is being mirrored (there was a favourable release vote) move all the artefacts from
<code class="highlighter-rouge">dev</code> folder into <code class="highlighter-rouge">release</code> folder:</p>
<div class="highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>svn mv https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/struts/$VERSION/ https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/struts/
</code></pre></div></div>
<h2 id="promote-release">Promote release</h2>
<p>Log in again to <a href="http://repository.apache.org/">Nexus</a> and <strong>release</strong> the repository, it will be automatically
replicated across Maven Repositories. See <a href="http://maven.apache.org/developers/release/apache-release.html">Releasing a Maven-based project</a>
for further details.</p>
<h2 id="clean-up-old-releases">Clean up old releases</h2>
<p>Remove the old files from under <a href="https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/struts/">https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/struts/</a>
to synchronise only the latest version with peers. All the files from <a href="https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/struts/">https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/struts/</a>
are always mirrored to <a href="http://archive.apache.org/dist/struts/">http://archive.apache.org/dist/struts/</a>. You can use the below command:</p>
<div class="highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>svn del https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/struts/2.3.x/
</code></pre></div></div>
<p>where <code class="highlighter-rouge">x</code> is the previous version to remove (or one more previous to keep current and one version back).</p>
<h2 id="wait-for-rsync">Wait for rsync</h2>
<p>Wait 2-4 hours before proceeding.</p>
<h2 id="update-site">Update site</h2>
<p>Make sure you have linked your Apache and Github account in Apache GitBox (Dual Master Git allowing you to directly
push to GitHub), see <a href="https://gitbox.apache.org/setup/">https://gitbox.apache.org/setup/</a></p>
<p>Please follow <a href="../updating-website">the guideline</a> how to update the website, below are additional steps that should be performed:</p>
<ul>
<li>If a new DTD was defined, add it to <code class="highlighter-rouge">source/dtds</code></li>
<li>Update current version and release date in <code class="highlighter-rouge">struts-site/_config.yml</code></li>
<li>Update page source files
<ul>
<li><code class="highlighter-rouge">struts-site/source/announce.md</code> (if applicable, refer also to corresponding security bulletin)</li>
<li><code class="highlighter-rouge">struts-site/source/downloads.html</code> (Prior Releases section)</li>
<li><code class="highlighter-rouge">struts-site/source/index.html</code> (some parts will updated automatically with values defined in <code class="highlighter-rouge">_config.yml</code>)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>You can generate the website locally with Docker Jekyll image
<ul>
<li>you must have Docker installed and running</li>
<li>if you are doing this the first time, download the official Struts image to build the site from
<a href="https://hub.docker.com/r/theapachestruts/struts-site-jekyll/">https://hub.docker.com/r/theapachestruts/struts-site-jekyll/</a></li>
<li>now you can use one of the bash scripts already provided in the <code class="highlighter-rouge">struts-site</code>:
<ul>
<li><code class="highlighter-rouge">docker-run.sh</code> - used with Bash</li>
<li><code class="highlighter-rouge">docker-run.fish</code> - to use with Fish Shell (via <code class="highlighter-rouge">fish docker-run.fish</code>)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>now you can check the generated site at http://localhost:4000</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Please remember about updating JavaDocs using a dedicated Jenkins job as described in <a href="../updating-website">the guideline</a>.</p>
<h2 id="post-announcements">Post announcements</h2>
<p>We leave this as the last step, once the artifacts have had time to sync up on the mirrors. Target it to:</p>
<ul>
<li>user@struts.a.o</li>
<li>announcements@struts.a.o</li>
<li>announce@a.o</li>
</ul>
<p>samples are available at <a href="sample-announcements">Sample announcements</a> page.</p>
