THIS IS A TEST INSTANCE. ALL YOUR CHANGES WILL BE LOST!!!!
...
You will create a release branch if this is the first release candidate. Otherwise, checkout the current release branch.
git checkout $COMMIT_HASH_YOU_CHOSE
git checkout -b branch-x.y.z
git push apache branch-x.y.z
ii. Branch and tag the commit
Test the branch and add commits as needed. If you are on a non-supported platform (mac), use a linux box or docker to test your release. A quickstep Dockerfile can be found here. Once you are happy with the candidate, tag the branch and push the update.
git fetch apache
# to make sure you have the latest master
git checkout apache
/branch-x
.y.z
git checkout -b x.y.z-patch-foo
# the name doesn't matter - it will only be in your local workstation
git cherry-pick b4d1a3...
# or whatever git hashes
# then resolve conflicts, if there are any
# cherry-pick some more commits:
git cherry-pick ....
git cherry-pick .....
git push apache HEAD:branch-x.y.z
Do the tag
git fetch apache
git checkout apache
/branch-x
.y.z
git tag -a x.y.z-rcw -m
"x.y.z release candidate w"
# when making release candidate w of version x.y.z
git push apache x.y.z-rcw
iii. Create the release artifacts
This step involves several steps. First, you create the tarball. Next you will create hashes, and a signature. Full details are provided in the script.
iii. Publish the release artifacts to the dev SVN repo
cd
quickstep/
# The directory layout is x.y.z/RCw, where w is the release candidate number - RC1 is the first candidate, RC2 the second, and so on.
mkdir
-p x.y.z
/RCw
cd
x.y.z
/RCw
cp
/tmp/apache-quickstep-incubating-x
.y.z.
tar
.gz* ./
svn add .
svn commit --username=YOUR_APACHE_USER_NAME -m
"Quickstep-x.y.z RCw"
b. Make a vote on the Release Candidate
...
- Have a subject that starts with "[VOTE]"
- Explain what the vote is about
- Explain how to
...
- find the artifacts for testing, and include the tag and git tree hash (not release hash!) they correspond to. The tree hash can be viewed with git log --pretty="%T %s".
- Explain what each type of vote means
- Explain the conditions for the vote passing, including how long the vote will remain open for.
- Include a link to this wiki page so voters can read the instructions in it on how to test, verify, and vote.
- Explain how you tested it.
- At your discretion, discuss what dependencies or tools you used to compile or run it, like gcc, and so on.
