Currently, this is just a collection area for my rough notes and what-not.  It will soon be a much cleaner guide.

 

Speaking of guides, here are a bunch of good ones:

How to Release Sqoop2

 

The purpose of this page is to document the mechanics of a release.  I took this phrase from the NiFi Release Guide (http://nifi.apache.org/release-guide.html) because I really like their outline and guide.  Eventually, we should incorporate other aspects into this guide including:

Background Material

What to validate and how to Validate a release

The flow of a release (an outline)

 

(Feel free to toss in any additional sections here)


The mechanics of the release  

Release Manager Dependencies

Before a Release Manager begins cutting a release of Apache Rya, there are a handful of Dependencies and Prerequisites they need to satisfy:

  1. They need to be a Rya Commiter

    As a Rya Commiter, the Release Manager will have access to several really important tools used throughout the release process.   This includes write access to the official Apache Rya Git Repo, the Apache Jenkins Server, and the Apache Nexus Server.

  2. Checkout and Build Rya

    The Release Manager should verify that they can checkout, build, and test Apache Rya on their machine.

    1. Checkout code from Git 

      git clone https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator-rya.git incubator-rya-apache

    2. Build and Test Apache Rya

      mvn clean install
  3. Setting up a PGP Key

    The Release manager needs a PGP Key and this key needs to be public.  The first two items listed here need to be done (i.e. get some software to create a key, and create a key).  I'm not sure about the last three.
    1. Getting software

      1. Use gpg-agent, and be sure to increase the gpg-agent cache timeout (via .gnupg/gpg-agent.conf) to ensure that the agent doesn’t require re-authentication mid-build, as it will cause things to fail. For example, you can add default-cache-ttl 6000 to increase the timeout from the default of 10 minutes to over an hour. If you do not have a GPG key, reference the very thorough ASF release signing documentation. make sure you reset gpg-agent:

        echo RELOADAGENT | gpg-connect-agent
    2. Creating a key
    3. Publishing a key to a public server
    4. Adding your key to id.apache.org
    5. Adding your key to project key list (we currently don't have this)
  4. Setting up Maven to push to apache repo
    1. Username/pass in maven settings
  5. Testing settings
    1. Testing locally: 
      1. mvn clean install -Papache-release

    2. Testing by pushing to apache snapshot repo

      1. mvn clean deploy -Papache-release

Staging a release

note: I followed these instructions: http://www.apache.org/dev/publishing-maven-artifacts.html#prepare-poms

  1. Checkout Rya

    1. git clone https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator-rya.git incubator-rya-apache

  2. Create a Release Branch

    1. git checkout -b 3.2.10-RC1 master

  3. Build a push a signed snapshot

    1. mvn clean deploy -Papache-release

  4. Do some manual checks (note I think that the mvn release plugin does all of this)

    1. Make sure there are no dependencies on snapshots in the POMs to be released

    2. Check that your POMs will not lose content when they are rewritten during the release process

      1. mvn release:prepare -Papache-release -DdryRun=true -Darguments="-DskipTests"

      2. Diff the original file pom.xml with the one called pom.xml.tag to see if the license or any other info has been removed

      3. What is the release version for "Apache Rya Project"? (org.apache.rya:rya-project) 3.2.10: : 

        What is SCM release tag or label for "Apache Rya Project"? (org.apache.rya:rya-project) rya-project-3.2.10: : 3.2.10

        What is the new development version for "Apache Rya Project"? (org.apache.rya:rya-project) 3.2.11-SNAPSHOT: : 


  5. Prepare release

    1. mvn release:clean

    2. mvn release:prepare

  6. Stage release for a vote
    1. mvn release:perform

       

 

super short edition:

1.Checkout out code
2. Create release candidate branch
git checkout -b 3.2.10-RC1 master
git push -u origin 3.2.10-RC1
3. Build Rya, prepare and perform release
mvn clean package -Papache-release
mvn release:prepare
mvn release:perform
delete the tag:

git tag -d v3.2.10

git push origin :refs/tags/v3.2.10


mvn release:prepare  -Darguments="-DskipTests"
mvn release:perform -Darguments="-DskipTests"
Rya uses Mini Accumulo Cluster for a number of it's tests and I've run into a number of gotchas:
  1. On windows, I've found that I need to update my hosts file to add my ip and my machine name (something like 10.aaa.bbb.ccc mymachinename)
  2. Close all VPNs
  3. Do not use strange DNS machines.  just use the default ones your network/isp provides
  4. McAfee Virus Scan may slow things down and throw off the test
