| <title>Introduction</title> |
| <p>This page documents the process of creating a FOP release. |
| FOP releases are coordinated by one member of the team (currently Christian Geisert), so others do not ordinarily need to use this information. |
| The purpose of documenting it here is to facilitate consistency, ensure that the process is captured, and to allow others to comment on the process.</p> |
| <p>The checklist below was assembled from Christian Geisert's notes. It will be expanded in the future as he has time.</p> |

| <title>Checklist</title> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Determine whether this is a Release Candidate or a Release.</li> |
| <li>Determine whether further testing is required.</li> |
| <li>Edit release notes, and commit any changes.</li> |
| <li>Update version number in build.xml, and commit the change.</li> |
| <li>Tag the source tree with the release ID. For example, if the release is 0.20.5rc3: |
| <code>cvs tag fop-0_20_5rc3</code></li> |
| <li>Make a fresh checkout with the just created tag: |
| <code>cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.apache.org:/home/cvspublic co -r |
| fop-0_20_5rc3 xml-fop</code></li> |
| <li>Copy jimi and jai to lib/ (jimi-1.0.jar, jai_core.jar, jai_codec.jar)</li> |
| <li>Copy jce-jdk13-119.jar from <link href="http://www.bouncycastle.org/latest_releases.html"> |
| from http://www.bouncycastle.org/latest_releases.html</link> to lib/</li> |
| <li>Run build[.sh] dist. Use jdk1.3. A Forrest installation is needed.</li> |
| <li>Create signatures. Don't forget to upload your KEY: |
| <code>gpg -a -b --force-v3-sigs fop-0.20.5rc3-bin.tar.gz etc.</code></li> |
| <li>Upload to www.apache.org. (An account on daedalus is needed): |
| <code>scp fop-0.20.5rc3*.tar.gz* |
| chrisg@www.apache.org:/www/www.apache.org/dist/xml/fop/</code></li> |
| <li>Check permissions: |
| <code>chmod 664 ... ; chgrp xml ...</code></li> |
| <li>Add MD5 sums: <code>md5 fop-0.20.5rc3-bin.tar.gz > |
| fop-0.20.5rc3-bin.tar.gz.md5</code></li> |
| <li>Make a test download.</li> |
| <li>Wait 24 hours (for the mirrors to catch up).</li> |
| <li>Post announcements on fop-dev and fop-user mailing lists.</li> |
| <li>Add bugzilla entry for the new release id.</li> |
| </ul> |
