These instructions guide the release manager through the steps of making an official OpenJPA release.
Note |
---|
These instructions are specific to the incubating status of OpenJPA. Now that OpenJPA has graduated from incubation, these instructions will need to be updated. |
Prerequisites
- You should read the OpenJPA Release Policy to decide on the name of the new release, based on the content.
- You should read the Apache Guide To Release Management During IncubationFAQ
- You must have shell access to people.apache.org
- You must have the following utilities installed on your local machine and available in your path:
...
Info |
---|
In the examples below, it is assumed that the release name will be 1.0.1, and that the current committed version of OpenJPA is 0.9.6-incubating-SNAPSHOT, and the version of the official release will be 0.9.6-incubatingchecked-in version name is 1.0.1-SNAPSHOT and stored in the branch named 1.0.x. |
Monday, 12:00 1 | Make sure the #One time setup steps have been performed | ||||||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
2 | Run the Release Audit Tool | ||||||||||||||
Monday, 12:01 | Create a sub-branch off of the parent branch from which to make the release. Releasing from a branch will allow any cosmetic changes that need to be made for the release to be approved to be done without preventing other more disruptive advances in the trunk from potentially causing problems with the release. A branch can be made by running:

5 | If releasing from the trunk, first make a branch from which to make the release. Releasing from a branch will allow any cosmetic changes that need to be made for the release to be approved to be done without preventing other more disruptive advances in the trunk from potentially causing problems with the release. A branch can be made by running: |
| |||||||||||||
Code Block | none | none | |||||||||||||
svn copy -m "OpenJPA Release 0.9.6-incubating"
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openjpa/trunk
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openjpa/branches/0.9.6-incubating
| |||||||||||||||
6 | Update the POMs to remove "-SNAPSHOT" from the version. If you have perl installed, you can easily do it with a single command: |
| |||||||||||||
Code Block | none | none | |||||||||||||
perl -pi -e 's;<version>0.9.6-incubating-SNAPSHOT</version>;<version>0.9.6-incubating</version>;g' pom.xml */pom.xml */*/pom.xml
| |||||||||||||||
7 | Commit the POM changes |
| |||||||||||||
Code Block | none | none | |||||||||||||
svn commit -m "Updated to version 0.9.6-incubating"
| |||||||||||||||
8 | Perform the build with documentation and install it in the local repository (this step is required because there is a bug in Maven's javadoc generation aggregated between multiple modules): |
| |||||||||||||
Code Block | none | none | |||||||||||||
mvn clean install -Pdocbook-profile,sign-release
| |||||||||||||||
|
| ||||||||||||||
9 | Verify the signatures: |
| |||||||||||||
Code Block | none | none | |||||||||||||
gpg --multifile --verify openjpa-project/target/assembly/*.asc
| |||||||||||||||
10 | Now actually build the javadocs and perform the deploy upload using the release profile from settings.xml. This will deploy to a staging directory on people.apache.org instead of deploying to the official incubating repository. |
| |||||||||||||
Code Block | none | none | |||||||||||||
mvn verify deploy -Pjavadoc-profile,sign-release,release
| |||||||||||||||
11 | Tag the branch with the release number: |
| |||||||||||||
Code Block | none | none | |||||||||||||
svn copy -m "OpenJPA Release 0.9.6-incubating"
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openjpa/branches/0.9.6-incubating
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openjpa/tags/0.9.6-incubating
| |||||||||||||||
12 | Update the pom.xml files to the subsequent version with the -SNAPSHOT suffix: |
| |||||||||||||
Code Block | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
Monday, 12:02 | Check out a clean branch from which to build the release:
| ||||||||||||||
Monday, 12:03 | Update all the POMs to remove "-SNAPSHOT" suffix from the version. If you have perl installed, you can easily do it with a single command:
| ||||||||||||||
Monday, 12:10 | Verify that LICENSE.txt contains up to date licenses for any dependencies which are included in our distribution. | ||||||||||||||
Monday, 12:15 | Update BUILDING.txt, CHANGES.txt and RELEASE-NOTES.html
| ||||||||||||||
Monday, 12:20 | none | none | |||||||||||||
perl -pi -e "s;<version>0.9.6-incubating</version>;<version>0.9.7-incubating-SNAPSHOT</version>;g" pom.xml */pom.xml */*/pom.xml
| |||||||||||||||
13 | Commit the POM changes | ||||||||||||||
Commit the POM changes |
| ||||||||||||||
14 | Start a vote for the release on the open-jpa-dev@incubator.apache.org mailing list. Votes made by committers and members of the OpenJPA project are considered binding for this vote. For an example of the mail, see this archived vote | ||||||||||||||
15 | If the vote is successful after 3 days tally the votes in an email to open-jpa-dev@incubator.apache.org then mail general@incubator.apache.org starting a vote for authorization to release. For this vote only the members of the IPMC are considered binding. A list of the IPMC members can be found here. | ||||||||||||||
16 | Once that vote is successful, update the http://cwiki.apache.org/openjpa/downloads.html page with information about the download | ||||||||||||||
17 | The documentation links at http://cwiki.apache.org/openjpa/documentation.html also needs to be updated. You can do this by checking out a copy of the OpenJPA static site documents into a scratch directory, unpacking the OpenJPA binary into the docs section, adding the new docs, and then committing and updating the docs on the server-side: |
| |||||||||||||
Code Block | none | none | |||||||||||||
mkdir /tmp/openjpa-docs/
cd /tmp/openjpa-docs/
jar xvf OPENJPA_DIR/openjpa-project-0.9.6-incubating-binary.zip
mkdir /tmp/openjpa-site/
cd /tmp/openjpa-site/
svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openjpa/site/docs
cd docs/docs/
mv /tmp/openjpa-docs/openjpa-0.9.6-incubating/docs/ openjpa-0.9.6-incubating
rm latest
ln -s openjpa-0.9.6-incubating latest
svn add openjpa-0.9.6-incubating
svn commit -m "Added documentation for openjpa-0.9.6-incubating release" .
ssh people.apache.org
svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openjpa/site/docs /www/incubator.apache.org/openjpa
| |||||||||||||||
| The static site will take a little while to synchronize, but eventually you should see the new documentation version at http://incubator.apache.org/openjpa/docs/. Once you see that, add a link to the new documentation release at http://cwiki.apache.org/openjpa/documentation.html | 18 | |||||||||||||
Code Block | none | none | |||||||||||||
svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/plugins/trunk/maven-stage-plugin/ maven-stage-plugin
cd maven-stage-plugin
mvn clean install
mvn stage:copy -Dsource="http://people.apache.org/~mikedd/public_html/staging-repository/" \
-Dtarget="scp://people.apache.org/www/people.apache.org/repo/m2-incubating-repository/" \
-Dversion=0.9.7-incubating
## This last step may take some time. | |||||||||||||||
19 | Update the JIRA versions page to mark the version as 'released', and set the date to the date that the release was approved. |
One time setup
These setup steps only need to be performed on a particular machine once.

Monday, 12:21 | Perform an initial build and install it in the local repository (this step is only required because of an open bug with Maven's javadoc plugin):
| |||||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Monday, 12:23 | Now build the release locally, which will build and test, run the Apache Release Audit Tool to verify license headers, generate the javadoc and docbook PDF and HTML, run through the JPA TCK, build the source and binariy assemblies in target/site/downloads/, and sign the release files.
| |||||||||||||
Monday, 13:00 | Verify the signatures: | |||||||||||||

Monday, 13:01 | Upload the release candidate to http://openjpa.apache.org/builds/1.0.1/downloads/:
| |||||||||||||
Monday, 15:00 | Start a vote for the release on the dev@openjpa.apache.org mailing list. Votes made by committers and members of the OpenJPA project are considered binding for this vote. For an example of the mail, see this archived 1.0.0 vote | |||||||||||||
Tuesday, Wednesday | While waiting for the vote to complete, perform whatever manual review and testing on the release you deem appropriate. | |||||||||||||
Thursday, 15:00 | If the vote is successful after 3 days tally the votes in an email to dev@openjpa.apache.org, like this one. | |||||||||||||
Thursday, 15:10 | Make the OpenJPA assemblies available to the Apache mirroring system by copying them over on people.apache.org:

| |||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Thursday, 15:30 | The documentation on the server-side must manually be extracted on people.apache.org, and the links at http://openjpa.apache.org/documentation.html need to be updated with the new versions and the "latest" documentation symbolic links need to be updated:
| |||||||||
Thursday, 15:45 | Merge the staged maven2 repository jars to with the official repository to rsync. This is currently a difficult process that requires the maven-staging-plugin, which much be built from source. The process looks something like this (executed in the root of your local OpenJPA checkout):
| |||||||||
Thursday, 16:00 | Update the JIRA versions page to mark the version as "released", and set the date to the date that the release was approved. You may also need to make a new release entry for the subsequent release. | |||||||||
Friday, 16:00 | After the mirrors have had time to update (24 hours to be on the safe side), make a news announcement on the OpenJPA wiki.
| |||||||||
Friday, 16:05 | Make an announcement about the release on the users@openjpa.apache.org list (and, for major releases, on the announce@apache.org list as per the Apache Announcement Mailing Lists page). The announcement might look something like this. | |||||||||
Friday, 16:10 | Make an announcement for the freshmeat.net OpenJPA project (optional) | |||||||||
Friday, 17:00 | Have a beer and enjoy your weekend while the world's grateful programmers revel in yet another high-quality release of Apache OpenJPA! |
