Check list before release
To verify license headers, use RAT check with following command:
% mvn apache-rat:check
Branching the release candidate
Before release, a branch should have been be created for that release in the form <major>.<minor>. For example:
svn copy https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/hama/trunk https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/hama/branches/0.2
Building Distribution
- Update to the latest SVN revision:
svn up
2. Prepare the release:
mvn release:prepare
If you are NOT first time,
mvn release:rollback
.
3. Digitally sign the distribution hama-X.X.X.tar.gz.
md5sum hama-x.x.x.tar.gz > hama-x.x.x.tar.gz.md5 sha1sum hama-x.x.x.tar.gz > hama-x.x.x.tar.gz.sha1
Voting
Each release must be voted by the PMC on the hama-dev mailing list. Vote threads are indicated by starting the subject line with [VOTE].
For a vote to pass at least three +1 votes are needed. Votes are normally run for 72 hours. When starting the vote, indicate the date and time the vote period ends.
When the vote period ends, tally up the votes and report the final result to the mailing list.
Publishing
Once three PMC members have voted for a release, it may be published.
- Manage versions in JIRA
2. Release artifacts
mvn release:perform
Now you must close the staging repository to indicate to Nexus that the build is done and to make the artifacts available. See http://www.apache.org/dev/publishing-maven-artifacts.html
scp -r edwardyoon@people.apache.org:/home/edwardyoon/public_html/dist/0.6.2-RC1/ ./ mv 0.6.2-RC1 0.6.2 svn add 0.6.2; svn commit ./ -m "Release Hama 0.6.2"
3. Website update
Use CMS to deploy web site or commit changes to http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/hama/site/trunk/ directly
4. Move Artifacts into Place
Commit artifacts to https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/hama/ # remove older versions
5. Announce to announce@apache.org, dev@hama.apache.org, user@hama.apache.org
