Create release branch

From 0.6.0 release

0.5.x release

Bump up version, create tag and upload maven artifact to staging repo

There are several places you need to bump up version before creating tag:

• Maven build: every pom.xml
• Docs: in docs/_config.yml update ZEPPELIN_VERSION, BASE_PATH.

After bumping up the version, create tag from release branch by doing below.

# Prepare release
$ mvn versions:set -DnewVersion=0.6.0 -DgenerateBackupPoms=false
$ git commit -a -m "Preparing Apache Zeppelin release 0.6.0"
$ git tag v0.6.0-rc1
 
# Prepare next development version
$ mvn versions:set -DnewVersion=0.6.1-SNAPSHOT -DgenerateBackupPoms=false
$ git commit -a -m "Preparing development version 0.6.1-SNAPSHOT"
 
# Push changes
$ git push apache v0.6.0-rc1
$ git push apache HEAD:branch-0.6

Create release Candidate

Create source and binary package

Clone tagged version into the machine that'll create package.

'create_release.sh' script will create source and binary package for the release candidate under '/tmp/zeppelin-release' directory

$ GPG_PASSPHRASE=[your gpg passphrase] dev/create_release.sh [Release version] [Tag name]

For example

$ GPG_PASSPHRASE=[your gpg passphrase] dev/create_release.sh 0.6.0 v0.6.0-rc1

will create source and binary package for release '0.6.0' based on tag 'v0.6.0'

Upload release candidate

Created release candidate needs to be uploaded into svn repository

https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/zeppelin/zeppelin-[Release version]-[RC number]

for example, for 0.6.0 release candidate 1, contents of '/tmp/zeppelin-release' directory need to be uploaded into

https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/zeppelin/zeppelin-0.6.0-rc1

Deploy maven artifact to staging repository

$ GPG_PASSPHRASE=[your gpg passphrase] ASF_USERID=[your asf user id] ASF_PASSWORD=[your asf password] dev/publish_release.sh [Release version] [Tag name]

For example

$ GPG_PASSPHRASE=[your gpg passphrase] ASF_USERID=[your asf user id] ASF_PASSWORD=[your asf password] dev/publish_release.sh 0.6.0 v0.6.0-rc1

Start a vote in dev@list

Once release candidate is ready, start a vote thread in dev@ list. For example
