Checkout Qpid sources from trunk using svn client. Alternatively, git and git-svn can be used.
No Format svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/qpid/java/trunk qpid-java cd ./qpid-java
Check that build completes successfully using profile apache-release
No Format mvn clean install -Papache-release -DskipTests
The gpg plugin will prompt for the password of PGP signing key. If password is asked for every release artifact, then pgp2 should be configured to use. The easiest way to configure pgp2 is to add active profile with pgp plugin settings into settings.xml.
Run RAT tool to verify that all source files have license headers
No Format mvn apache-rat:check
Add license headers to the files which do not have licenses. Update RAT excludes if required.
Verify third party licenses
No Format mvn -Pdependency-check prepare-package
The check should finish successfully. Otherwise, dependencies with not complaint licenses should be resolved before taking next release step.
When new dependencies are added or changed into projects the dependency verification files needs to be updated. In order to do so run the command above with flag -Ddependency-change-verification=true
Build alpha.
Making an alpha build is optional and can be skipped if required. Alpha does not requires branching. The following chain of maven commands can be used to build and deploy alpha into staging repo
Example of building 6.0.0-alphaNo Format mvn versions:set -DnewVersion=6.0.0-alpha ; mvn clean install deploy -Papache-release ; mvn versions:revert
maven versions plugin is used to change version and revert it back after build and deploy
- On successful completion the build is deployed into staging repository, which needs to be closed in order to be available. Log into Apache Nexus UI, select the repository under "Staging Repository" and click Close button to close staging repository to prevent publishing of any new artifact. After closing, a permanent link to the staging repository will be available.
- Send an email into users@qpid.apache.org about alpha availability with a link to the staging repository.
- Do not forget to delete staging repo after building RC or beta build. It requires logging into Apache Nexus UI, selecting the repository and clicking "Drop" button.
- Check JIRA system for any unresolved JIRAs for the release and notify assigned developers to take actions on uncompleted JIRAs
Cut the branch using release:branch. Please, refer maven release plugin documentation for more details. For example, the following command was used to cut 6.0.x branch
No Format mvn release:branch -DbranchName=6.0.x -DupdateBranchVersions=false -DupdateWorkingCopyVersions=true -DautoVersionSubmodules=true
As part of execution command above maven asks about new version of the trunk sources and changes the version to provided one.
- Build beta if required following instructions in step 5 on branched sources
Build RC
Checkout branch sources, for example, 6.0.x branch is checked out as below
No Format svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/qpid/java/branches/6.0.x cd 6.0.x
Cut the tag and build the release build using maven:prepare
No Format mvn release:clean mvn release:prepare -Papache-release,java-mms.0-9 -DautoVersionSubmodules=true -DpreparationGoals=test
Release plugin will ask about new release version, svn tag name and new development version. Please, add RC<number> suffix to the tag name.
On successful execution an svn tag with a provided name will be created, the tag version will be set to the specified release version and development version on the branch will be changed to the provided one
- Stage the release for voting
Build the RC and publish release artifacts into maven stagin repo
No Format mvn release:perform -Papache-release,java-mms.0-9 -Darguments="-DskipTests"
release:perform will build release artifacts and deploy them into staging repo.
- The staging maven repository needs to be closed. Log into Apache Nexus UI, select the repository under "Staging Repository" and click Close button to close staging repository for any publishing of artifacts. After closing, a permanent link to the staging repository will be available.
Build source release bundle, for example the following commands were used to build source bundle for 6.0.0RC5
No Format svn export https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/qpid/java/tags/6.0.0RC5 qpid-java-6.0.0 tar cvfz qpid-java-6.0.0.tar.gz qpid-java-6.0.0/ gpg -ab qpid-java-6.0.0.tar.gz sha1sum qpid-java-6.0.0.tar.gz > qpid-java-6.0.0.tar.gz.sha1 md5sum qpid-java-6.0.0.tar.gz > qpid-java-6.0.0.tar.gz.md5
- Copy source and binary bundles and their signatures/checksum files into qpid dev staging area at https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/qpid/java/ under the sub-folder with the same name as tag. Binary bundles and their signatures/checksum files need to be put into sub-folder with name binaries. (Not doing so would break the site).
Send an email into users@qpid.apache.org about RC availability with links to the maven staging repository and qpid dev staging area folder containing source and binary bundles
- If RC is OK and voting passes, publish release artifacts:
- promote maven staging artifacts from staging repository into the world by pressing Release button in Apache Nexus UI.
rename RC tag and remove all previous RC tags. For example, for 6.0.0
No Format svn mv https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/qpid/java/tags/6.0.0RC5 https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/qpid/java/tags/6.0.0 -m "Move tag 6.0.0RC5 into 6.0" svn rm https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/qpid/java/tags/6.0.0RC4 -m "Delete 6.0.0RC4" svn rm https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/qpid/java/tags/6.0.0RC3 -m "Delete 6.0.0RC3" svn rm https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/qpid/java/tags/6.0.0RC2 -m "Delete 6.0.0RC2" svn rm https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/qpid/java/tags/6.0.0RC1 -m "Delete 6.0.0RC1"
copy source and binary bundles and their signatures/checksum files form dev staging are into release distribution area. For example, the commands below copy dev 6.0.0-rc5 artifacts into final 6.0.0
No Format svn co --depth files https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/qpid qpid-dist-release cd ./qpid-dist-release/java svn cp https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/qpid/java/6.0.0-rc5 . svn mv 6.0.0-rc5 6.0.0 svn commit -m "Publish 6.0.0 release artifacts"
If voting does not pass, resolve found issues, drop staging repository and repeat instructions from step 9 until voting passes.
Update Qpid web site Qpid Java Component pages and publish new release documentation following instructions here.
Java 8 could be required for latest fop/docbook dependencies. Here are sample commands how to do itwhich can be used to update the siteNo Format svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/qpid/site cd ./site make gen-$module-release RELEASE=6.0.0 SOURCE_RELEASE=6.0.x vim ./input/releases/6.0.0/release-notes.md # manually add release details and add table with JIRAs for fix/enhancements/new feature JIRA tablefeatures vim ./input/_transom_config.py # Update the current release pointer vim ./input/releases/index.md # Add current release, move the previous make render make check-links svn commit -m "Update site for Qpid Java release 6.0.0"
- Mark release as released in JIRA and close any unresolved JIRAs if required
- Wait for 24 hours after closing the voting and send the release notification email into users@qpid.apache.org
