THIS IS A TEST INSTANCE. ALL YOUR CHANGES WILL BE LOST!!!!
...
- Keep Jiras under control during the milestone. Make sure new opened ones are targeted for the appropriate release, and the backlog is decreasing.
- Make sure the new function Jira are marked appropriately (since they will be used in the ReadMe file creation).
- Look for Jira's that have patches attached to them and get the code integrated early in the cycle. Don't wait until the last minute.
- Make sure that you begin to obtain clean versions for all SNAPSHOTs in the build. This can sometimes be a lengthy process as dependent packages are sometimes not available.
- Lay out a plan for the distributed execution of the test suites (unit tests, integration tests, scenarios)
- Ensure that all of the licenses are valid and replacements/remediation should be done.
- Declare a candidate build to the community (RC).
- Make sure that you remind the community that all modules should have the appropriate header file with the appropriate copyright statement.
Exiting the release cycle
- Upload Declare a candidate build to the community (RC) by uploading release candidate to release manager's web directory on people.apache.org. Declare a candidate build to the community and work Work out any issues that are voiced.
- Update the Readme file with the important New Function and a pointer to defect fixes for this release. Put the delivery date of the release at the top of the readme.
- Get some to verify that all of the samples pass without issues. Integration tests and unit tests should run and known problems need to be identifed.
- Initiate a vote on tuscany-dev mailing list for the release candidate to make the build a public release.
- After 3 days, post the result to the devlist
- Now, you need to go to IPMC for approval to post this as a public release. Send a note to general@apache.org which summarizes the result of vote on devlist and points to the release candidate. 3 (+1) IPMC votes are required to make this a public release and of course no (-1).
- Once you have IPMC support, post the release to people.apache.org.
- update download page of the wiki and make it a goal to update or add documentation.
- Don't forget that all this could not have been done without everyone's help. Post a congratulation note to the dev list and thank the entire team for their efforts to make this happen
