Apache OFBiz Release Plan (aka How to do an OFBiz Release)

Steps for testing a revision or branch before a release:

1. For revision: svn export -r ${revision-number} http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ofbiz/trunk ofbiz
2. For branch: svn export http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ofbiz/branches/$\{branch-name} ofbiz
3. cd ofbiz
4. ant run-tests

5. Wiki Markup
   Check results... (search for \[JUNIT\])

6. cd ..
7. rm -Rf ofbiz/

Steps for a test snapshot type "release":

1. Example file-base-name: apache-ofbiz-incubating-4.0.0.RC1
2. svn export http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ofbiz/trunk ofbiz
3. cd ofbiz
4. echo ${revision-number} > REVISION
5. ant run-install
6. cd ..
7. zip -r ${file-base-name}.zip ofbiz/
8. tar -czvf ${file-base-name}.tgz ofbiz/*
9. gpg --output ${file-base-name}.zip.asc --detach-sig --armor ${file-base-name}.zip
10. gpg --output ${file-base-name}.tgz.asc --detach-sig --armor ${file-base-name}.tgz
11. openssl md5 ${file-base-name}.zip > ${file-base-name}.zip.md5
12. openssl md5 ${file-base-name}.tgz > ${file-base-name}.tgz.md5

Steps for a branch in preparation for a real release:

1. Exaple branch-name: release4.0.0
2. svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ofbiz^{Image Removed}
3. svn copy trunk branches/${branch-name}
4. svn commit -m "Created new branch: ${branch-name}"

1. Example file-base-name: apache-ofbiz-4.0.0
2. Example branch-name: release4.0.0
3. svn export http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ofbiz/branches/$\{branch-name} ofbiz
4. cd ofbiz
5. ant run-install
6. cd ..
7. zip -r ${file-base-name}.zip ofbiz/
8. tar -czvf ${file-base-name}.tgz ofbiz/*
9. gpg --output ${file-base-name}.zip.asc --detach-sig --armor ${file-base-name}.zip
10. gpg --output ${file-base-name}.tgz.asc --detach-sig --armor ${file-base-name}.tgz
11. openssl md5 ${file-base-name}.zip > ${file-base-name}.zip.md5
12. openssl md5 ${file-base-name}.tgz > ${file-base-name}.tgz.md5
