How to cut a new Apache Empire-db (incubator) release.

This document explains how to cut a new empire-db release. Since we normally do this in Linux I expect you to have a Linux enironment at hand. For windows users Cygwin might be a solution. This document is based on the Maven release documentation.

Before you get started

Make sure your system is set up correctly and that you have the needed credentials

  • you have all Maven servers defined in your settings.xml. For more information, please refer to Committer settings.
  • you have created your GPG keys. For more information, please refer to Making GPG Keys.
  • you have a GPG client installed and on your shell's path. See http://www.gnupg.org/.
  • you have a Subversion 1.5+ client installed and on your shell's path. See http://subversion.tigris.org/.
  • you have a Java 1.4.2 JDK installed and on your shell's path. See http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html.
  • you have set the environment variable MAVEN_OPTS=-Xmx512m
  • you are using Maven 2.0.x (or 2.2.x), as Maven 2.1.x is known to produce wrong gpg pom signatures (see MGPG-14).
