Release Notes
See example release notes from previous releases on the wiki site and prepare similar notes.
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MADLIB/MADlib+1.11
- Update the wiki with these release notes for the new release
- Update the release notes file in the source code: https://github.com/rashmi815/incubator-madlib/blob/master/RELEASE_NOTES (create PR and merge)
Prepare Tarballs
Created signed annotated git tag on release branch
git tag -
...
Branch your release:
git checkout -b <your release name> <commit sha1>
push to origin:
git push origin <your release name>
Apply signed tag on release branch
Example:
git tag -
Make a tarball and gzipu <GPG KEY ID> --sign <your release name>-rc# -m "Apache MADlib
(Incubating)<your release name> RC#" <SHA of HEAD of branch>
Example:$ git tag -u 57325522 --sign rc/1.12-rc1 -m "Apache MADlib 1.12 RC1" 46795de0254d2cb7755ee9336be5fef2a187e8c9
If the -u option doesn't work, then you can also try updating the global git config with your key (It might also be possible to update just the local git config instead of the global config but we haven't tried doing that)
git config --global user.signingkey
<KEY>git tag --sign rc/1.12-rc1 -m "Apache MADlib 1.12 RC1" 46795de0254d2cb7755ee9336be5fef2a187e8c9
- Make a tarball and gzip:
git archive -o ../apache-madlib-<your release name>-incubating-src.tar --prefix=apache-madlib-<your release name>-incubating-src/ <your tag/branch name>
gzip ../apache-madlib-<your release name>-incubating-src.tarExample:
$ git archive -o ../apache-madlib-1.11-incubating<your release name>-src.tar --prefix=apache-madlib-1.11-incubating<your release name>-src/ 1.11-incubating
$ gzip<your tag/branch name>
gzip ../apache-madlib-1.11-incubating<your release name>-src.tar
Prepare rpm and dmg binaries
Execute the following commands in the build directory:
$ cmake <path to source code directory>
$ make
$ make package
Sign the Release Candidate
Example:
$ git archive -o ../apache-madlib-1.12-src.tar --prefix=apache-madlib-1.12-src/ rc/1.12-rc1
$ gzip ../apache-madlib-1.12-src.tar
NOTE: Depending on release requirements, an alternate approach is to create a release branch to which the tag will be applied.
- Branch your release:
git checkout -b <your release name> <commit sha1>
push to origin:
git push origin <your release name>
Sign the Release Candidate
Check that Check that md5, shasum, and gpg (or gpg2) are installed on your machine:
$ which gpg shasum md5
/usr/local/bin/gpg
/usr/bin/shasum
/sbin/md5
Install using Hombrew (on Mac OS) if needed e.g.:
...
/usr/local/Cellar/gnupg/1.4.19: 53 files, 5.4M, built in 87 seconds
office-4-125:release_manager_stuff rraghu$ which gpg
/usr/local/bin/gpg
Prepare MD5, SHA256 and ASC files from the source tarball and binaries:
md5 <your release tarball or binary> > <your release tarball or binary>.md5
shasum -a 512 <your release tarball or binary> > <your release tarball or binary>.sha512
gpg --detach-sign -a <your release tarball or binary>
Example:
$ md5 apache-madlib-1.11-incubating-src.tar.gz > apache-madlib-1.11-incubating-src.tar.gz.md5
$ shasum -a 512 apache-madlib-1.11-incubating-src.tar.gz > apache-madlib-1.11-incubating-src.tar.gz.sha512
$ gpg --detach-sign -a apache-madlib-1.11-incubating-src.tar.gz

Commit artifacts to Apache dist site
The Apache dist dev site for MADlib is located at: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/madlib/
Uploading to this site is via Subversion.
- Retrieve the subversion dev madlib repo
Example:svn checkout https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/madlib/ --username=<your apache user id>
- Create a local folder for the release (e.g. 1.11.RC1) in svn. We use apache's distribution repo: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/madlib/
- Move the files into the release folder on local disk
svn add <release folder>
- Commit artifacts:
Example:svn commit -m 'adding 1.11 RC1 candidate release artifacts' --username=<your apache user id>
Create a release candidate for MADlib user docs
The voting email needs to point to the release candidate user docs which are located at https://github.com/apache/madlib-site/tree/asf-site
Create a folder called
rc
in madlib-site/docsRun
make doc
on the release tagged madlib source codecp -r /path/to/madlib/build/doc/user/html/* /path/to/madlib-site/docs/rc/
- Commit the changes to the asf-site branch of madlib-site repo.
- While sending out the voting email, include http://madlib.apache.org/docs/rc/index.html as the documentation URL for the release candidate.
...
Vote on the Release
General information regarding the Apache voting process can be found here: http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html.
Once the release candidate has been created, validated and the artifacts have been uploaded to the Apache dist site, it is time to have the community vote on the release.
Apache MADlib Community Vote
The MADlib user and developer communities have to vote on every release. The release manager must send out an email to the user and dev mailing lists calling for the vote (link to the example is below). A period of 3 business days is the usual time window for the vote. There are three voting options for the community members to choose from:
[ ] +1 approve
[ ] +0 no opinion
[ ] -1 disapprove (and reason why)
Please see the Apache voting process site for information on how many +1 votes are needed, what to do in case of -1 votes and for any clarifications to the voting process.
Example email to the community calling for the vote can be found in Apache mail archives site here.
Once the community vote has been completed, the release manager must send out an email to the user and dev mailing lists with the results of the vote. If other scenarios arise in the voting process, please refer to experienced community members or other similar projects for guidance on next steps.
Example email to the community with the results of the vote.
Incubator PMC Vote
Once the community vote has been successfully completed and results have been sent to the community, a round of voting by the Incubator PMC is required. The Incubator PMC (or IPMC) oversees all Apache projects in Incubating state. This vote is not needed once the project reaches Top Level status (TLP status).
The release manager must send out an email (link to an example is below) to the general@incubator.apache.org mailing list calling for the IPMC vote. A period of 3 business days is the usual time window for the vote.
Example email to the Incubator PMC calling for their vote on the release candidate.
In addition to the above example email, it is also recommended to include this link to the licensing guidance from the ASF when calling an IPMC vote, because it describes the guidance from the ASF regarding MADlib's particular licensing history. This is to make it easier for IPMC members who are reviewing the release and may not be familiar with MADlib's license history and transition to the ASF.
After the IPMC voting has been successfully completed, the release manager must send an email to general@incubator.apache.org with the results of the vote. At this point the release candidate is ready to become GA.
Example email to the Incubator PMC with the results of the vote.
...
Publishing, distributing and announcing the Release
General Apache information regarding announcing a release may be found here.
Once the release candidate has successfully passed through the voting processes, it is ready to be GA.
Move the source, binaries and corresponding signature files from staging (dev) folder to the release dist site: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/madlib/ . Use the
svn mv
command. Example below:svn mv https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/madlib/1.12.RC1/ https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/madlib/1.12/
Remove old releases from the dev dist sites
Retrieve the subversion release madlib repo if you have not done so already
Example:svn checkout https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/madlib/ --username=<your apache user id>
- Delete the folders from local working copy using
svn delete <folder to delete>
.
E.g.svn delete 1.12.RC1/
- Commit the deletions:
svn commit -m 'Removing 1.12 RC releases' --username=<your apache user id>
- Update the user docs link to point to the correct version of the docs and also update any version numbers / links in the page content: http://madlib.apache.org/docs/latest/. Update the MADlib website ... review previous release commits for details:
- Upload latest release documentation (including docs/latest symlink)
- Update Download page
- Upload latest design.pdf
- Update MADlib home page with release news
Apply release tag referencing git hash representing final release candidate:
git tag -u 57325522 --sign rel/v1.12 -m "Apache MADlib 1.12" 46795de0254d2cb7755ee9336be5fef2a187e8c9
If the -u option doesn't work, then you can also try updating the global git config with your key (It might also be possible to update just the local git config instead of the global config but we haven't tried doing that)git config --global user.signingkey
<KEY>
git tag --sign rel/v1.12 -m "Apache MADlib 1.12" 46795de0254d2cb7755ee9336be5fef2a187e8c9git push upstream <your release tag>
- In the asf-site branch of madlib-site repo,
git mv
the content ofdocs/rc
folder into the latest release folder.- Update the
latest
symlink to point to the latest release folder.
- After doing the above change, wait for at least 24 hours and then announce the release on announce@apache.org, user@madlib.apache.org and dev@madlib.apache.org mailing lists. See example email of past announcement.
...
Create PostgreSQL Extension Network Release
Artifacts are uploaded to the Apache MADlib extension product location on the PostgreSQL Extension Network (PGXN): https://pgxn.org/dist/madlib/ . Please do this only after there is an official Apache release.
Here are the general steps (used for 1.12 release) on mac os::
- git clone git@github.com:apache/madlib.git
- cd madlib
- git branch MADLIB-1.12 rel/v1.12
- git checkout MADLIB-1.12
- mkdir build; cd build
- cmake ..
- make pgxn
- Upload Release through PGXN Manager at https://manager.pgxn.org (request credentials from dev list). The built artifact will reside in deploy/PGXN/madlib-pgxn-1.12.0.zip in your build directory.
Verification steps:
- sudo easy_install pgxnclient
- sudo chmod a+w /usr/local
- sudo rm -rf /usr/local/madlib
- MAKEFLAGS=1 pgxn install madlib (see Installation Guide#PGXNInstallingfromPGXN(PostgreSQL) for more details)
- dropdb madlibtest; createdb madlibtest; /usr/local/madlib/bin/madpack -s madlib -p postgres install
- /usr/local/madlib/bin/madpack -s madlib -p postgres install-check

Archived Instructions
As of version 1.19.0, MADlib releases do not provide convenience binaries. The steps to create them are kept in this section in case this decision is reversed or users would like to create such packages for personal use.
Create convenience binaries (rpm, deb and dmg files)
Creating rpm package - CentOS 6 (GPDB 4.3, 4.3 Orca, Postgres 9.5, 9.6)
Build MADlib and rpm package
Example:
cmake
-DGREENPLUM_4_3ORCA_PG_CONFIG=/usr/local/gpdb-4.3.10.0-ORCA/bin/pg_config \
-DGREENPLUM_4_3_PG_CONFIG=/usr/local/gpdb-4.3.0.0/bin/pg_config \
-DPOSTGRESQL_9_6_PG_CONFIG=/usr/local/postgresql-9.6/bin/pg_config \
-DPOSTGRESQL_9_5_PG_CONFIG=/usr/local/postgresql-9.5.0/bin/pg_config \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/madlib
Creating rpm package - CentOS 6 (GPDB 5)
Identify build docker image (repository and tag) to use for build by
reviewing the resource named "centos-gpdb-dev-6" in the GPDB 5
Concourse pipeline file.
pipeline file: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/greenplum-db/gpdb/master/concourse/pipelines/gpdb_master-generated.yml
Example:
repo: pivotaldata/centos-gpdb-dev
tag: 6-gcc6.2-llvm3.7
Retrieve latest greenplum 5 release rpm from Pivotal Network
(https://network.pivotal.io/). A free account can be created to
retrieve the Greenplum 5 rpm artifact.
Product: Pivotal Greenplum
Release: 5.0.0 (latest release)
Example:
Release Download Files: Greenplum Database 5.0.0-beta.6 RPM for RHEL 6
File downloaded: greenplum-db-5.0.0-beta.6-rhel6-x86_64.rpm
Copy Greenplum 5 rpm and Apache MADlib source release tarball into directdory (/opt/downloads) which will be mounted into docker container.
Example:
cp greenplum-db-5.0.0-beta.6-rhel6-x86_64.rpm /opt/downloads
cp apache-madlib-1.11-src.tar.gz /opt/downloads
Start Docker container in which to buid
Example:
docker run -it --rm -v /opt/downloads:/tmp/downloads pivotaldata/centos-gpdb-dev:6-gcc6.2-llvm3.7 /bin/bash
Build MADlib and rpm package
Example:
yum install -y /tmp/downloads/greenplum-db-5.0.0-beta.6-rhel6-x86_64.rpm
tar xf /tmp/downloads/apache-madlib-1.12-src.tar.gzcd apache-madlib-1.12-src
mkdir build; cd build
cmake -DGREENPLUM_5_PG_CONFIG=/usr/local/greenplum-db-5.0.0_beta.6/bin/pg_config \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/madlib \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
make
..
make install
make package
mv madlib-1.12-Linux.rpm apache-madlib-1.12-bin-Linux-GPDB5beta6.rpm
This will generate a file (in the current working directory) with a name similar to madlib-1.12-Linux.rpm. For convenience binary purposes, the file must be renamed to apache-madlib-1.12-bin-Linux-GPDB5beta6.rpm (last step above).
Install and test the MADlib rpm following standard procedures (NOTE: To ensure a clean installation directory, remove /usr/local/madlib prior to installing and testing the rpm).
Creating dmg package - macOS (Postgres 9.4, 9.5 and 9.6)
Required software to create dmg packages
Operating System: macOS Sierra: 10.12.6 (16G29)
PackageMaker.app (copied from contents of dmg listed below into your Applications directory)
Available for download from Apple Developers site
Package: Auxiliary Tools for Xcode - Late July 2012
File: xcode44auxtools6938114a.dmg
Build Postgres versions
For release purposes, you will need to identify the versions of postgres that the release candidate supports. In order to build, you will need to have one installation directory for each supported version of postgres. Download the latest source tarballs for each version from https://www.postgresql.org/ftp/source/. Extract, configure, build, test and install each version.
See this page for list of versions of postgres supported by released versions of MADlib
Example:
wget https://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/source/v9.6.4/postgresql-9.6.4.tar.gz
tar xf postgresql-9.6.4.tar.gz
cd postgresql-9.6.4
./configure --with-python --prefix=/usr/local/pgsql964make
make check
make install
Repeat for each supported Postgres version.
Build MADlib and dmg package
Perform MADlib release build referencing each Postgres <pg install dir>/bin/pg_config
version to be supported during the cmake configuration step:
Example (from source directory):
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DPOSTGRESQL_9_6_PG_CONFIG=/usr/local/pgsql964/bin/pg_config \
-DPOSTGRESQL_9_5_PG_CONFIG=/usr/local/pgsql958/bin/pg_config \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/madlib \
..
make
make install
make package
mv madlib-1.12-Darwin.dmg apache-madlib-1.12-bin-Darwin.dmg
This will generate a file (in the current working directory) with a name similar to madlib-1.12-Darwin.dmg. For convenience binary purposes, the file must be renamed to apache-madlib-1.12-bin-Darwin.dmg (last step above).
Install and test the MADlib dmg following standard procedures (NOTE: To ensure a clean installation directory, remove /usr/local/madlib prior to installing and testing the dmg).
Creating deb package - Ubuntu-16 (Postgres 9.6)
If a local Ubuntu environment with Postgres is not available, obtain necessary docker image with postgres using:
docker pull madlib/postgres_9.6:latest
Follow instructions in https://github.com/apache/madlib#development-with-docker to use the docker container.
Once in the Ubuntu environment, example to build deb package (from source directory):
Note: If the pg_config file is not in the default location, we can specify it as a parameter in cmake using `-DPOSTGRESQL_9_6_PG_CONFIG=<pg_config location>`
mkdir build
cd build
cmake
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
..
make
make install
make package
mv madlib-1.15.1-Linux.deb apache-madlib-1.15.1-bin-Linux.deb
