BindingThe VOTE thread: [List of +1 Voters] Vote threads: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/rdec5007b03029a34f74d85531e3c98dc61b43c6278d196c265b725cf%40%3Cgeneralrbdbc0144c43038ddf0d5b7983e00ffb4ccf013b6121c99a74b0a762c%40%3Cgeneral.incubator.apache.org%3E +1's were: [List of +1 Voters] Thanks to everyone who voted! We will proceed with the official release of 2.60.0. |
As before, if the VOTE does not pass, fix the issues, "Drop" the release at https://repository.apache.org, repeat the "Create Release Candidate" process from the beginning with a new rc number. Note that creating a new release candidate will automatically delete the previous one.
...
Move the release candidate files to the release directory. (This prompts for your apache account password. It may prompt you about plaintext password storage. If so, it works even if you answer "no".)
Code Block language bash $ svn mv -m "Release Apache Daffodil (incubating) 2.0.0" \ https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/daffodil/2.0.0-rc1/ \ https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/daffodil/2.0.0/
Make a new clean clone (for good measure), create a signed git tag based on the release candidate tag. You need your KEYID (See step 3b above) for your apache signing key, and you will be prompted for the pass-phrase for your apache signing key.
Code Block language bash $ cd /tmp $ git clone git@github.com:apache/incubator-daffodil.git incubator-daffodil-2.0.0-rc1 $ cd incubator-daffodil-2.0.0-rc1 $ git tag -as -u KEYID -m "Release v2.0.0" v2.0.0 v2.0.0-rc1^{} $ git push origin v2.0.0
You can delete the /tmp clone directory at this point.
- Release the published Nexus files by visiting https://repository.apache.org, log in, find the release in "Staging Repositories" and selecting "Release".
- Update the JIRA versions to mark the version as released (need to be PPMC).
Give approximately 24 hours for the release files to sync to mirrors and Maven Central. To verify, check here
https://search.maven.org/ (ensure you can see both versions; select one and verify the release versions exist in at least the sbt version)
https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.lua/incubator/daffodil/2.6.0 (pick a mirror and ensure the files exist)
Once the mirrors have synced, make the following changes to the daffodil site repository and publish them:
Modify the release page to have the following parameters:
Code Block released: true date: <date of release> artifact-root: "https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.lua/incubator/daffodil/2.0.0/" checksum-root: "https://downloads.apache.org/incubator/daffodil/2.0.0/"
Modify the release page of the previous release to use archived root URLs, for example:
Code Block artifact-root: "https://archive.apache.org/dist/incubator/daffodil/1.0.0/" checksum-root: "https://archive.apache.org/dist/incubator/daffodil/1.0.0/"
Modify the site/doap.rdf file to include the release date and version, for example:
Code Block language xml <release> <Version> <name>Apache Daffodil</name> <created>2018-02-18</created> <revision>2.0.0</revision> </Version> </release>
Update the symlink to the latest Javadoc and Scaladocs in the site/docs directory (note that there is no forward slash at the end of
latest)
.Code Block language bash $ cd site/docs/ $ ln -sfn 2.0.0 latest
- Follow the steps in the README in that repository to test and publish the new release page.
Now that the download URLS of the previous release point to the archive, remove that release from Apache dist to free up space on mirrors:
Code Block $ svn delete -m "Archive Apache Daffodil (incubating) 1.0.0" \ https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/daffodil/1.0.0/
Announce the release
Send an announcement email from your apache.org email address to announce@apache.org, dev@daffodil.apache.org, and users@daffodil.apache.org, (note: send three separate emails instead of one email with multiple TO/CC's), with the below template.
To send to announce@apache.org, your email app needs to be configured. Settings can be found on Apache's Committer Email page. For Gmail, you can request to "Send Email as" and with Thunderbird, you can add a new Outgoing SMTP Server and create a new Identity (Manage Identities) to send from the relay.
Make sure to update links and use "plain text" editing for the email. HTML editing often leads to broken links or incorrect formatting.
Code Block language text Subject: [ANNOUNCE] Apache Daffodil (incubating) 2.0.0 Released The Apache Daffodil (incubating) community is pleased to announce the release of version 2.0.0. Notable changes in this release include <short summary of changes>. Detailed release notes and downloads are available at: https://daffodil.apache.org/releases/2.0.0/ Daffodil is an open source implementation of the Data Format Description Language (DFDL) specification that uses DFDL schemas to parse fixed format data into an infoset, which is most commonly represented as either XML or JSON. This allows the use of well-established XML or JSON technologies and libraries to consume, inspect, and manipulate fixed format data in existing solutions. Daffodil is also capable of the reverse by serializing or "unparsing" an XML or JSON infoset back to the original data format. For more information about Daffodil visit: https://daffodil.apache.org/ Regards, The Apache Daffodil Team ===== *Disclaimer* Apache Daffodil is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator PMC. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
- The same or a similar announcement can also be posted to the DFDL Workgroup News page here: https://redmine.ogf.org/projects/dfdl-wg/news (Done by a PPMC member, like Mike B).
Send a tweet from the @ApacheDaffodil twitter account, mentioning the release version, highlights of changes, and a link to the release page. You will need to be invited/accept, via tweedeck, permission to tweet from the account. At which point you may compose the below style of message from Tweetdeck.
Code Block The @ApacheDaffodil team is excited to announce the release of version 2.4.0! Notable changes include <summary of changes>. Full details and downloads at https://daffodil.apache.org/releases/2.4.0/
- Various published DFDL schemas and examples will, most-likely, want to be updated so that they automatically reference the latest release of Daffodil from their master branch. (Owl/Tresys people can use the utils/set-daffodil-version in the Gitea dfdl-schemas module which has subprojects for every DFDL schema project we know about, public or private.)
