Policy documents

Frequently asked questions for making Apache releases are available on Releases FAQ page.

The Release Manager (RM) must go through the policy document to understand all the tasks and responsibilities of running a release.

Give a heads up

The RM should first create an umbrella issue and then setup a timeline for release branch point. The time for the day the umbrella issue is created to the release branch point must be at least two weeks in order to give the community a chance to prioritize and commit any last minute features and issues they would like to see in the upcoming release.

The RM should then send the pointer to the umbrella issue along with the tentative timeline for branch point to the user and developer lists. Any work identified as release related that needs to be completed should be added as a subtask of the umbrella issue to allow users to see the overall release progress in one place.

We are starting the process to prepare for Sqoop $release release. I have opened JIRA $jira to cover the tasks under this release.

If you have any JIRA in progress and would like to include it in this release, please follow the process to do so.

Feel free to comment on the JIRA if you have any comments/suggestions.

Thanks,

h2. Monitor active issues

Monitor active issues

It is important that between the time that the umbrella issue is filed to the time when the release branch is created, no experimental or potentially destabilizing work is checked into the trunk. While it is acceptable to introduce major changes, they must be thoroughly reviewed and have good test coverage to ensure that the release branch does not start of being unstable.

If necessary the RM can discuss if certain issues should be fixed on the trunk in this time, and if so what is the gating criteria for accepting them.

Creating Release Artifacts

Create a release branch

Creating branches in git is easy, simple, cheap, fast and race condition less with comparison to SVN. There is no need explicitly announce that you're going to create release branch and ask everyone to stop committing. 

1. Clone fresh repository copy

Update change log file

1. It's important to update changelog file with all changes that went it to the release. JIRA is generating list of all changes in particular release in "Release notes" section:

  • On main page click "versions" from left menu
  • Click on your version
  • There is link "Release notes" on top left corner of the context area.

2. You can use ruby script jira2changelog.rb attached to this page to transform this page into desired output.

The Apache Sqoop team is pleased to announce the release of Sqoop 1.4.3.

This is the second release of Apache Sqoop as a TLP project. Sqoop is a tool designed
for efficiently transferring bulk data between Apache Hadoop and structured datastores,
such as relational databases.

The release is available here:

Currently Sqoop is built using ant and thus the process necessary for publishing its binary artifacts in Maven repository is manual. Once Sqoop migrates to using Maven build (_which is the default in Sqoop 2_), these steps will need to be updated accordingly.

Close and Release staging repository

In the Nexus main content pane, make sure the staging repository you are working with is selected with a check mark, and click the "Close" button on top. This causes Nexus to verify the signatures and if everything is valid, it will result in successful closing of the repository. If there are any failures due to invalid signatures, you will have to drop the repository and redo the steps outlined in this section again.

Once the repository is closed, you can promote it to release status by clicking on the "Release" button on top. This allows the artifacts in this staging repository to be published to release repository immediately. Once the release has propagated, you should receive a confirmation email from Nexus stating that the artifacts are now available in the release repository.
