What to validate and how to validate a release
...
- Create a JIRA ticket for the release tasks for version ${MINIFI_VERSION}.
_The resulting JIRA ticket number is referred to as ${JIRA_TICKET} in this guide. - Create the next version in JIRA, if it doesn't already exist, so work can continue towards that release. Versions can be managed at https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/MINIFICPP?selectedItem=com.atlassian.jira.jira-projects-plugin%3Arelease-page
- Create meaningful release notes for this version if not already created. Enter them here https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MINIFI/Release+Notes#ReleaseNotesAdd them to the Release Notes - MiNiFi (C++) on page on the MiNiFi wiki.
- May be useful to add links to processor documentation so it is easier to diff releases.
- Create a new branch off ${BRANCH} named after the JIRA ticket.
$ git checkout -b ${JIRA_TICKET}-RC${RC} ${BRANCH} - Verify that you have the needed dependencies to build and run MiNiFi
- Ensure the the full application builds, all tests work, and source passes linting by executing the following:
TODO/DISCUSS: Since we don't have a dependency management framework we will include only base extensions.
$ mkdir build && cd build && cmake -DENABLE_COAP=ON -DSKIP_TESTS= -DUSE_SHARED_LIBS=ON -DPORTABLE=ON .. && make package && make package_source && make test && make =ON -DBUILD_ROCKSDB=ON -DEXCLUDE_BOOST=ON -DBUILD_IDENTIFIER= -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DFAIL_ON_WARNINGS= .. && make package_source && make package && make test && make linter && make docker - Startup and test the application with from the build folder:
$ tar xvzf nifi-minifi-cpp-${MINIFI_VERSION}-bin.tar.gz && ./nifi-minifi-cpp-${MINIFI_VERSION}/bin/minifi.sh start - Evaluate and ensure the appropriate license headers are present on all source files.
- Ensure LICENSE and NOTICE files are complete and accurate. (Developers should always be keeping these up to date as they go along adding source and modifying dependencies to keep this burden manageable.)
- The If the validated artifacts all look good then create a tag and push the branch to origin release branch to the ASF repository.
$ git push asf tag -s "minifi-cpp-${JIRAMINIFI_TICKETVERSION}-RC${RC}
- " -m "${JIRA_TICKET} RC${RC} release candidate of NiFi MiNiFi C++ ${MINIFI_VERSION}" ${JIRA_TICKET}-RC${RC}
$ git push --tag asf ${JIRA_TICKET}-RC${RC}

Thanks to all who helped make this release possible.
Here is the PMC vote thread: ${VOTE_THREAD_URL}
...
- Move convenience binaries and related artifacts from dist/dev to dist/release: (a member of the PMC needs to run this)
$ svn move -m " ${JIRA_TICKET}" https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/nifi/nifi-minifi-cpp/ ${MINIFI_VERSION} https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/nifi/nifi-minifi-cpp/ ${MINIFI_VERSION} - Update the MiNiFi website to point to the new download(s) by creating a pull request on https://github.com/apache/nifi-site and following the instructions in README.md. Remove older release artifacts from download page (leave the current release and the previous one). For the release just previous to this new one change the links to point to the archive location. See current page as an example of the needed URL changesfrom download page (leave the current release and the previous one). In addition to updating the download page as described delete artifacts other than the current/new release from the dist/nifi SVN storage. They are already in the archive location so no need to do anything else.
- Update the NiFi Web Page to indicate NEWS of the release as appropriate
- Create a proper signed tag of the released codebase based on the RC Tag craeted created during the Maven release process.
$ git tag -s rel/minifi-cpp-${MINIFI_VERSION} -m "${JIRA_TICKET} signed release tag for approved release of NiFi MiNiFi C++ ${MINIFI_VERSION}" ${RC_TAG_COMMIT_ID}
For instructions on setting up to sign your tag see here . - Push the release tag to the official ASF repository.
$ git push asf rel/minifi-cpp-${MINIFI_VERSION} rel/minifi-cpp-${MINIFI_VERSION} - Publish the convenience binaries to docker hub (TODO: extend this guide with details)
- Update the release notes with the final date of the release.
- After the release has been complete for 24 hours send the release announcement.
