Make the Release

1. This step will create a maven staging repository and site for use in testing and voting.

   `mvn release:perform -Papache-release`.
   Note: If your local OS userid doesn't match your Apache userid, then you'll have to also override the value provided by the OS to Maven for the site-deploy step to work: -Duser.name=[your_apache_uid] --This is known to work for Linux, but not for Mac and unknown for Windows--.
   

Verify the Nexus release artifacts

• Verify the HTML links on site are correct

• Verify the staged artifacts in the nexus repo

  • https://repository.apache.org/index.html
  • Staging repositories (under Build Promotion) --> Name column --> org.apache.airavata
  • Navigate through the artifact tree and make sure that all Javadoc, sources, tests, jars, ... have .asc (GPG signature) and .md5 files. See http://people.apache.org/~henkp/repo/faq.html and http://www.apache.org/dev/release-signing.html#openpgp-ascii-detach-sig

• Close the nexus staging repo

  • https://repository.apache.org/index.html
  • Staging repositories (under Build Promotion) --> Name column --> org.apache.airavata
  • Click the checkbox for the open staging repo (org.apache.airavata-XXX) and press Close in the menu bar.

1. Sign the binary artifacts

   * $ `cd modules/distribution/target`
   * $ `gpg -ab apache-airavata-*${project.version}*-bin.tar.gz`
   * $ `gpg -ab apache-airavata-*${project.version}*-bin.zip`
   * $ `gpg --print-md SHA512 apache-airavata-*${project.version}*-bin.tar.gz > apache-airavata-*${project.version}*-bin.tar.gz.sha`
   * $ `gpg --print-md SHA512 apache-airavata-*${project.version}*-bin.zip > apache-airavata-*${project.version}*-bin.zip.sha`
   * $ `gpg --print-md MD5 apache-airavata-*${project.version}*-bin.tar.gz > apache-airavata-*${project.version}*-bin.tar.gz.md5`
   * $ `gpg --print-md MD5 apache-airavata-*${project.version}*-bin.zip > apache-airavata-*${project.version}*-bin.zip.md5`
   

2. Stage the source and binary artifacts to the dist development repository

   • Checkout Airavata development dist area:

     `svn co https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/airavata airavata-dev-dist`
     

   • Create the directory for ${project.version} and RC{number} within it. The RC number corresponds to the current release attempt.

   • Copy the source and binaries into dist area.
     • Copy the source and binaries into the development dist RC area created above.
     • Sources and signed artificats can be downloaded from staging repo https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/staging/org/apache/airavata/airavata/${project.version}.
     • Source artifacts should include airavata-{project.version}-source-release.zip, airavata-{project.version}-source-release.zip.asc, airavata-{project.version}-source-release.zip.sha, airavata-{project.version}-source-release.zip.md5
     • Binaries and gpg signed artificats from step 11.
     • Verify they are downloadable from https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/airavata/${project.version}/RC{number}.
