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 xml files
   change version in distributions/apache-servicemix/src/main/release/bin/smx-arch(.bat)
   

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

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

   mvn -Dprofile=step1 install
   mvn -Dprofile=step2 install
   mvn -DperformRelease=true -Dgpg.passphrase=xxx -DaltDeploymentRepository=yyy install gpg:sign site:site deploy site:deploy
   

   where yyy has the following syntax for example:

   gnodet::default::scp://people.apache.org/home/gnodet/public_html/maven_staging
   

1. 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"
   

2. 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 schemas 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!
