NOTE DEJ20060909: This document is still being created and is not a final draft, but should contain most of the operations needed to create a release. We may want to add more sections on preparing for a release such as more on testing, and stuff on the NOTICE, LICENSE, KEYS, etc files.

h2. Steps for testing a revision or branch before a release:

# For revision: svn export \-r $\{revision-number\} [http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ofbiz/trunk] ofbiz

# For branch: svn export http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ofbiz/branches/$

{branch-name} ofbiz

# cd ofbiz

# ant run-tests

# Check results... (search for \[JUNIT\])

# cd ..

# rm \-Rf ofbiz/

h2. Steps for a test snapshot type "release":

# Example file-base-name: apache-ofbiz-incubating-4.0.0.RC1

# svn export [http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ofbiz/trunk

] ofbiz
# cd ofbiz
# echo $\{revision-number\} > REVISION

# ant run-install

# cd ..

# zip \-r $\{file-base-name\}.zip ofbiz/

# tar \-czvf $\{file-base-name\}.tgz ofbiz/\*

# gpg \--output $\{file-base-name\}.zip.asc \--detach-sig \--armor $\{file-base-name\}.zip

# gpg \--output $\{file-base-name\}.tgz.asc \--detach-sig \--armor $\{file-base-name\}.tgz

# openssl md5 $\{file-base-name\}.zip > $\{file-base-name\}.zip.md5

# openssl md5 $\{file-base-name\}.tgz > $\{file-base-name\}.tgz.md5

h2. Steps for creating a branch in preparation for a real release:

# Exaple branch-name: release4.0 (for a series of releases using 4.0.0, 4.0.1, 4.0.2, etc)

# svn co [https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ofbiz

] ofbizroot
# cd ofbizroot
# svn copy trunk branches/$\{branch-name\}

# svn commit \-m "Created new branch: $\{branch-name\}"

h2. Steps for applying a fix from the trunk to a branch as part of maintenance:

# svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ofbiz/branches/$\

{branch-name\} ofbiz

# cd ofbiz

# svn merge \-r $\{revision-1\}:$\{revison\} [http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ofbiz/trunk

]
# svn commit \-m "Applied fix from trunk for revision: $\{revision\}"

h2. Steps for creating a release from a branch:

# Example file-base-name: apache-ofbiz-4.0.0, or for framework only: apache-ofbiz-framework-4.0.0

# Example branch-name: release4.0.0

# svn export http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ofbiz/branches/$\

{branch-name} ofbiz

# cd ofbiz

# For framework only release: rm \-Rf applications/

# ant run-install

# cd ..

# zip \-r $\{file-base-name\}.zip ofbiz/

# tar \-czvf $\{file-base-name\}.tgz ofbiz/\*

# gpg \--output $\{file-base-name\}.zip.asc \--detach-sig \--armor $\{file-base-name\}.zip

# gpg \--output $\{file-base-name\}.tgz.asc \--detach-sig \--armor $\{file-base-name\}.tgz

# openssl md5 $\{file-base-name\}.zip > $\{file-base-name\}.zip.md5

# openssl md5 $\{file-base-name\}.tgz > $\{file-base-name\}.tgz.md5
