Update of November 2022:
- While we strive for a regular release, we recognize that our pattern has been to make a release when and if we have the capacity to do so.
- Looking back, we seem to have averaged one release per year, with an uptick in 2022 covering three releases.
- We should edit the following text that was created during the project's incubation period and the related confluence pages to be more accurate.
Policy as adopted by the Project Management Committee (PMC) :
Release branches are created every two months at the beginning of the following month from the changes that were merged by the last day of the previous month.
...
Steps to sign a release:
- As a release manager, I believe you should have created signing key by following Apache documentation (https://www.apache.org/dev/openpgp.html#key-gen-generate-key) In this example I am considering 0.6.0-incubating is the release branch and current working directory is /home/user1.
- Prepare the release notes in Release Folders
- Clone release branch with command
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
# cd /home/user1
# git clone -b 0.6.0-incubating --single-branch https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator-fineract.git apache-fineract-0.6.0-incubating-src |
- Make sure build is happening and all integration tests are passed by following steps defined in readme.md
- Create a binary directory with release version under /home/user1/. In this example the directory name is apache-fineract-0.6.0-incubating-binary
- Build war file and copy into binary directory. Extract LICENSE, NOTICE, DISCLAIMER files from fineract-provider.war and place them in binary directory.
- Now create a tar file of binary directory with below command. This command will create apache-fineract-0.6.0-incubating-binary.tar.gz file in /home/user1 directory.
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
# cd /home/user1
# tar -zcvf apache-fineract-0.6.0-incubating-binary.tar.gz apache-fineract-0.6.0-incubating-binary |
- Now move to apache-fineract-0.6.0-incubating-src and remove all git configuration directories/files. Remove bin, catalina.base_IS_UNDEFINED, build directories from fineract-provider directory
- Remove gradle wrapper jar file from apache-fineract-0.6.0-incubating/fineract-provider/gradle/wrapper
- Remove LICENSE_RELEASE, NOTICE_RELEASE files. Rename LICENSE_SOURCE TO LICENSE and NOTICE_SOURCE to NOTICE. Remove binary directory from licenses directory.
- Now create source tar file with below command. This command with create apache-fineract-0.6.0-incubating-src.tar.gz file in /home/user1 directory.
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
# cd /home/user1
# tar -zcvf apache-fineract-0.6.0-incubating-src.tar.gz apache-fineract-0.6.0-incubating-src
|
- Next step is to create detached signature, checksum with MD5 and SHA with the following commands
# cd /home/user1 # gpg --armor --output apache-fineract-0.6.0-incubating-src.tar.gz.asc --detach-sig apache-fineract-0.6.0-incubating-src.tar.gz # gpg --print-md MD5 apache-fineract-0.6.0-incubating-src.tar.gz > apache-fineract-0.6.0-incubating-src.tar.gz.md5 # gpg --print-md SHA512 apache-fineract-0.6.0-incubating-src.tar.gz > apache-fineract-0.6.0-incubating-src.tar.gz.sha # gpg --armor --output apache-fineract-0.6.0-incubating-binary.tar.gz.asc --detach-sig apache-fineract-0.6.0-incubating-binary.tar.gz # gpg --print-md MD5 apache-fineract-0.6.0-incubating-binary.tar.gz > apache-fineract-0.6.0-incubating-binary.tar.gz.md5 # gpg --print-md SHA512 apache-fineract-0.6.0-incubating-binary.tar.gz > apache-fineract-0.6.0-incubating-binary.tar.gz.sha
Finally create a directory with release name (0.6.0-incubating in this example) in https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/fineract and add the following files in this new directory.
apache-fineract-0.6.0-incubating-binary.tar.gz.sha
apache-fineract-0.6.0-incubating-binary.tar.gz
apache-fineract-0.6.0-incubating-binary.tar.gz.asc
apache-fineract-0.6.0-incubating-binary.tar.gz.md5
apache-fineract-0.6.0-incubating-src.tar.gz.sha
apache-fineract-0.6.0-incubating-src.tar.gz
apache-fineract-0.6.0-incubating-src.tar.gz.asc
apache-fineract-0.6.0-incubating-src.tar.gz.md5
Next step is to drop mail to dev@fineract.incubator.apache.org about release approval. Once we get sufficient votes, then drop a mail to general@incubator.apache.org
Once release is approved then announce the release to the community.
