Release Guide

How to create and announce a ServiceMix release.

Creating the ServiceMix Release

1. Grab the latest Source
2. Change the version number:

   change version in all poms
   change version in geronimo-1.0
   change version in geronimo-1.1
   change version in tooling/--archetypes--/src/main/resource/archetype-resources/pom.xml
   

Also add the new version to the version list in these files.

1. Let Maven build, test, package, and deploy the binaries

   mvn -N install
   cd tooling
   mvn install
   cd ..
   mvn -Dmaven.test.skip=true -DperformRelease=true install site:site deploy site:deploy
   

2. Tag the release using your local workspace to a new SERVICEMIX_X_Y label

   svn mkdir http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/servicemix/tags/SERVICEMIX_X_Y -m "ServiceMix X.Y Release"
   svn copy . http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/servicemix/tags/SERVICEMIX_X_Y -m "ServiceMix X.Y Release"
   

3. Check that the binaries look fine.

Announcing the ServiceMix Release

1. Perform a release in JIRA and create a new release version in JIRA
2. Create a download page for the release in the WIKI similar like the ServiceMix 1.0 Release
3. Update the Xml Reference page with a link to the HTML and XSD
4. Mail the dev & user lists
5. Post a news entry on the WIKI
6. Have a beer!
