1. Move the release candidate files to the release directory:

   Code Block
   language bash
   $ svn mv -m "Release Apache Daffodil (incubating) 2.0.0" \ https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/daffodil/2.0.0-rc1/ \ https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/daffodil/2.0.0/

     

2. In the Daffodil git repository, create a signed git tag based on the release candidate tag:

   Code Block
   language bash
   $ git clone git@github.com:apache/incubator-daffodil.git incubator-daffodil-2.0.0-rc1 $ git tag -as -u KEYID -m "Release v2.0.0" v2.0.0 v2.0.0-rc1^{} $ git push asf v2.0.0

   
   

3. Release the published Nexus files by visiting https://repository.apache.org, log in, find the release in "Staging Repositories" and selecting "Release".
   
   

4. Give approximately 24 hours for the release files to sync to mirrors and Maven Central. To verify, check here

   1. https://search.maven.org/ (ensure you can see both versions; select one and verify the release versions exist in at least the sbt version)

   2. https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.lua/incubator/daffodil/2.6.0 (pick a mirror and ensure the files exist)
       

5.  Once the mirrors have synced, make the following changes to the daffodil site repository and publish them:

     

   1. Modify the release page to have the following parameters:

      Code Block
      released: true date: <date of release> artifact-root: "https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.lua/incubator/daffodil/2.0.0/" checksum-root: "https://downloads.apache.org/incubator/daffodil/2.0.0/"

      
      

   2. Modify the release page of the previous release to use archived root URLs, for example:

      Code Block
      artifact-root: "https://archive.apache.org/dist/incubator/daffodil/1.0.0/" checksum-root: "https://archive.apache.org/dist/incubator/daffodil/1.0.0/"

      
      

   3. Modify the site/doap.rdf file to include the release date and version, for example:

      Code Block
      language xml
      <release> <Version> <name>Apache Daffodil</name> <created>2018-02-18</created> <revision>2.0.0</revision> </Version> </release>

      
      

   4. Update the symlink symlink  to the latest Javadoc and Scaladocs Scaladocs in the site/docs directory (note that there is no forward slash at the end of latest.

      Code Block
      language bash
      $ ln -sfn 2.0.0 site/docs/latestlatest

      
      

   5. Follow the steps in the README in that repository to test and publish the new release page.

6. Now that the download URLS of the previous release point to the archive, remove that release from Apache dist to free up space on mirrors:

   Code Block
   $ svn delete -m "Archive Apache Daffodil (incubating) 1.0.0" \ https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/daffodil/1.0.0/

     

7. Update the JIRA versions to mark the version as released.
