You are performing an Apache StreamPipes release for the first time?

Read the Onboarding Guide for Release Managers!


Update release notes

IMPORTANT: This process did not work for the last release (0.92.0). I created an issue to fix it, see #1667).

To provide a proper overview of what has changed within the current release, we need to update file RELEASE_NOTES.md  in our release branch (rel/VERSION ).
Therefore it is required to perform the following steps.

  1. Go to the following repository and follow the instructions (https://github.com/dominikriemer/jira-to-issues)
  2. Copy the release notes printed to the console and insert it into the release notes

Prepare release candidates


Use a clean repository

It is recommended to use a clean repository for release preparation to ensure there are no unexpected local files in the source release.


Make sure that you are in the branch rel/VERSION that you created earlier


First, set sp.version in the Maven archetypes to the upcoming release version of StreamPipes:

Update Maven archetypes
# In all subdirectories of archetypes, open the pom.xml file in src/main/resources/archetype-resources and set the sp.version property to the upcoming version (e.g., 0.69.0)


Update the UI version manually to the upcoming version:

Update UI version
# Update the version in ui/package.json
# Update the version in ui/package-lock.json (Be careful, this file contains two places with SNAPSHOT).

Use the update version script to change version of the installer (directory: installer)

Create release branch
# change version to next release version
./upgrade_versions.sh NEW_RELEASE_VERSION
# ./upgrade_versions.sh 0.69.0

# Commit and push these changes to rel/VERSION


Now it's time to perform the Maven release!

Make sure to checkout a clean copy of incubator-streampipes and perform the following. Make sure you do this from the rel/VERSION branch!

Perform Maven release
mvn release:prepare -DautoVersionSubmodules=true -Papache-release

The release plugin will ask you a few things:

  1. The version we want to release as (It will suggest the version you get by omitting the -SNAPSHOT suffix)

  2. The name of the tag the release commit will be tagged with in the SCM (Name it release/{release-version} (e.g., release/0.69.0 )

  3. The next development version (The version present in the pom after the release) (e.g., 0.69.1-SNAPSHOT, use the next patch version and not the new minor version in dev)

Once this is finished, check that everything is correct: There should be a new tag release/version (e.g., release/0.69.0) which doesn't have any SNAPSHOT dependencies. In addition, your rel/VERSION branch should be increased to the next patch version.


Great! So the next step is to actually perform the release and stage the artifacts to the ASF Nexus. The command you need to run is:

Finish release
mvn release:perform -DreleaseProfiles=apache-release

Uploading the artifacts to the ASF Nexus might take some time. Once it is finished, go to https://repository.apache.org, log in with your Apache credentials, go to "Staging Repositories" and search for "streampipes".

There should be one item in the list containing the just uploaded files. Click on "Close" and enter a message (e.g., Close StreamPipes release VERSION) and then you are done on the Maven side!


Revert Release

Important! Only when there was an error in the release. If this is the case, the maven release can be reverted with the following commands:

Upload files to SVN
# Drop artifacts in Nexus repository
- Go to https://repository.apache.org and login
- Go to "Staging Repositories" and search for "streampipes"
- There should be one item in the list containing the just uploaded files
- Click on "Drop" and enter a message

# Delete git tags, both locally and remote
- git tag -d release/#RELEASE_VERSION (e.g. git tag -d release/0.69.0)
- git push --delete origin release/#RELEASE_VERSION (e.g. git push --delete origin release/0.69.0)

# Rollback maven version
- mvn versions:set -DnewVersion=#OLD_DEVELOPMENT_VERSION (e.g. mvn versions:set -DnewVersion=0.60.0-SNAPSHOT
- Check that the version was changed correctly in all pom.xml files
- mvn versions:commit

# Commit changes in git
# Now the release process can be started again



The final step is to upload the source release artifacts to the Apache SVN:


Upload files to SVN
# Create a new rc folder in the SVN (https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/streampipes)
# Create a new directory for the version (e.g., 0.69.0) and add release candidate (which is increased for every failed release), e.g., rc1.

# The folder structure should look like this:

- 0.69.0
	- rc1
 

# Copy the following files into this folder (they can be found in streampipes/target/checkout/target:
- RELEASE_NOTES.md
- RELEASE_VALIDATION.md
- README.md
- The zip file (apache-streampipes-VERSION-source-release.zip)
- The asc file (apache-streampipes-VERSION-source-release.zip.asc) 
- The sha512 file (apache-streampipes-VERSION-source-release.zip.sha512)

  # Commit these changes to SVN.


Great! StreamPipes is ready for release voting.
