Legacy Releases from SVN Dist

We have three types of Releases to create using a “Pull from ‘Dist’” process.

  1. Release Candidates from dist/dev as the Release Manager requests from within the ATR Web UI.

  2. Current Releases from dist/release this will be used for the initial migration and may be used from time to time as PMCs use the old methods.

  3. Archived Releases which are migrated from the archive if not present in the Current Releases.

ATR Web UX

We will need pages to perform tasks related to the use of our legacy setup.

PMC Management Page

  1. Create Release Candidate - upload the packages for a release candidate from svn:dist/dev. This page can also handle direct uploads.

  2. Legacy Release - upload an approved release from svn:dist/release.

System Admin Page

  1. Synchronise Current Releases - scan svn:dist/release and migrate any not in the ATR.

  2. Sychronize Release Archive - scan archive repository and migrate any archived not in the ATR as a Current or Archived Release.

Backends Hosting Release Artifacts

The legacy domains are currently connected to svn:dist/release as follows:

  1. rsync.apache.org has a directory that updates a checkout of svn:dist/release
  2. downloads.apache.org periodically rsyncs with rsync.apache.org
  3. archive.apache.org periodically rsyncs with rsync.apache.org without removing artifacts from the destination.

  1. ATR writes to SVN - ATR Releases write to svn:dist/release as an interim step.

  1. ATR and Legacy are Integrated - Insert ATR into the rsync chain.
    • ATR has a directory with the same organization as svn:dist/release using symbolic links to the Releases in the ATR Datastore.
    • ATR's rsync from rsync.apache.org should detect legacy release addition and deletion.

  1. Legacy is Retired - svn:dist/release is retired.

  1. Further Integration - downloads.apache.org is hosted on ATR.
