This document is meant as a step-by-step recipe to achieve the release of
|
|
the Commons Math component.
|
|
|
|
The files "settings-security.xml" and "settings.xml" are minimal examples
|
|
of files used by maven to pick up authentication credentials needed to
|
|
connect to remote servers and to cryptographically sign the artefacts.
|
|
|
|
(0)
|
|
Preliminary checks:
|
|
* All Java files must contain a license header. The "RAT" maven plugin will
|
|
generate a report indicating for which files the license is missing.
|
|
* For a "minor" release, the library must be backward-compatible. Check all
|
|
the errors reported by the "Clirr" plugin.
|
|
* Clear all "CheckStyle" warnings.
|
|
* Make sure that the construct reported by "FindBugs" are intentional.
|
|
|
|
|
|
(1)
|
|
As a first optional step, you can test that everything works locally, i.e.
|
|
that the build process can create all the necessary artefacts. The command
|
|
|
|
$ mvn clean deploy -Prelease -Ptest-deploy
|
|
|
|
should create the artefacts in the "target/deploy".
|
|
|
|
|
|
(2)
|
|
At this point, you should commit everything that will be part of the release.
|
|
|
|
In particular:
|
|
* Update and commit the "src/site/site.xml" file to contain the information
|
|
about the API docs of the new release.
|
|
* Estimate a release date (taking into account the release vote delay) and
|
|
insert it in the "src/changes/changes.xml" file.
|
|
|
|
From now on, be especially careful to the "svn commit" commands that will be
|
|
indicated below: Only the selected file(s) should be committed but not the
|
|
"pom.xml" that will be modified now.
|
|
|
|
The "pom.xml" on the SVN server must always be in a state for creating snapshot
|
|
versions of the library, i.e. the tag "<version>" should end with the string
|
|
"-SNAPSHOT":
|
|
|
|
<version>3.2-SNAPSHOT</version>
|
|
|
|
Assuming that the release version will be "3.0", modify the "<version>" tag to
|
|
read:
|
|
|
|
<version>3.1</version>
|
|
|
|
Modify the section of "<properties>" that also refers to version numbers.
|
|
You should uncomment the "<commons.rc.version>" line and indicate the
|
|
appropriate numbering of the release candidate: This refers to how many
|
|
times you will need to repeat this whole release process until it is
|
|
accepted (by a vote):
|
|
|
|
<properties>
|
|
<!-- ... -->
|
|
<commons.release.version>3.1</commons.release.version>
|
|
<commons.rc.version>RC1</commons.rc.version>
|
|
<!-- ... -->
|
|
</properties>
|
|
|
|
[Note: From now on, the "pom.xml" file must not be committed anymore
|
|
to the SVN repository. Once the release process is over, you can do a
|
|
"revert" to cancel the local changes.]
|
|
|
|
|
|
(3)
|
|
The "download" page template is located at "src/site/xdoc/download_math.xml".
|
|
This file is updated automatically by running the command:
|
|
|
|
$ mvn commons:download-page
|
|
|
|
|
|
(4)
|
|
The "release notes" file will be created by gathering all the changes
|
|
collected during develoment in the file "src/changes/changes.xml".
|
|
Create it by running:
|
|
|
|
$ mvn changes:announcement-generate \
|
|
-Dchanges.template=release-notes.vm \
|
|
-Dchanges.templateDirectory=src/changes
|
|
|
|
It will generate the release text in "target/announcement/release-notes.vm",
|
|
which you must now copy to the appropriate location:
|
|
|
|
$ cp -i target/announcement/release-notes.vm RELEASE-NOTES.txt
|
|
|
|
Alternately to the above two commands, you can rely on the "release-notes"
|
|
profile defined in the "commons-parent" project (which is inherited by the
|
|
"commons-math project) and run:
|
|
|
|
$ mvn -Prelease-notes changes:announcement-generate
|
|
|
|
Commit the updated file to SVN:
|
|
|
|
$ svn commit RELEASE-NOTES.txt
|
|
|
|
|
|
(5)
|
|
Create the tag that will contain the whole source of this release candidate.
|
|
First, make sure that the working is up-to-date:
|
|
|
|
$ svn up
|
|
|
|
Then, assuming the first candidate, the suffix will be "RC1" (this should
|
|
be the same as in the "<properties>" in the "pom.xml"), and the command
|
|
will be:
|
|
|
|
$ svn copy . \
|
|
-m"Creating Commons Math v3.1 RC1 tag." \
|
|
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/math/tags/MATH_3_1_RC1
|
|
|
|
The tag will then be accessible at
|
|
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/math/tags/
|
|
|
|
|
|
(6)
|
|
Check out the tagged code and change into the newly created directory:
|
|
|
|
$ svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/math/tags/MATH_3_1_RC1
|
|
$ cd MATH_3_1_RC1
|
|
|
|
|
|
(7)
|
|
If this is your first release, you might need to add your GPG encryption
|
|
key to the KEYS file. [If you have already done so, skip this section.]
|
|
|
|
Retrieve the files from the SVN repository:
|
|
|
|
$ svn co --depth=immediates \
|
|
https://__Your_apache_login__@svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/trunks-proper
|
|
|
|
and follow the instructions at the top of the "KEYS" file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
(8)
|
|
Create and transfer the artefacts to the Nexus server (a.k.a. "deploy").
|
|
|
|
Because the artefacts must be cryptographically signed, this step requires that
|
|
a profile named "release" exists in the maven "settings.xml" configuration file
|
|
which will contain the identifier of your GPG key (cf. sample "settings.xml"
|
|
file).
|
|
|
|
You can then run
|
|
|
|
$ mvn -DskipTests=true clean deploy -Prelease
|
|
|
|
which will transfer the artefacts to the Nexus repository located at
|
|
https://repository.apache.org/index.html#stagingRepositories
|
|
|
|
As a measure of sanity check, the "staging" (i.e. non official) repository must
|
|
be manually "closed" before other people review the deliverables just created.
|
|
[Note: Nexus automatically adds "md5" and "sha1" checksums files to the "asc"
|
|
files (cryptographic signature). These "signatures on signatures" are spurious
|
|
and have to be manually removed from Nexus staging area.]
|
|
How to "close" the staging repository it is explained at this page:
|
|
https://docs.sonatype.org/display/Repository/Closing+a+Staging+Repository
|
|
|
|
|
|
(9)
|
|
Web site testing (a.k.a "staging") of the generated web site (containing the
|
|
API documentation, etc.)
|
|
|
|
This step requires a "<server>" with an identifier set to "stagingSite" and
|
|
that the remote server is set up to accept no-password ssh authentification
|
|
(cf. sample "settings.xml" file).
|
|
|
|
Execute the commands (assuming the release candidate is "RC1"):
|
|
|
|
$ mvn site
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
$ mvn site:stage-deploy \
|
|
-DstagingDirectory=src/site \
|
|
-DstagingSiteURL=scp://__Your_apache_login__@people.apache.org:/www/people.apache.org/builds/commons/math/3.1/RC1
|
|
|
|
The web site will be available for review at:
|
|
http://people.apache.org/builds/commons/math/3.1/RC1
|
|
|
|
|
|
(10)
|
|
Call to vote by sending a message to the "dev" ML with subject
|
|
"[VOTE] Release Commons Math 3.1". You can use the following example as
|
|
a starting point, replacing the URLs with the appropriate ones:
|
|
----------
|
|
Tag:
|
|
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/math/tags/MATH_3_1_RC1/
|
|
|
|
Site:
|
|
http://people.apache.org/builds/commons/math/3.1/RC1/
|
|
|
|
Binaries:
|
|
https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachecommons-051/org/apache/commons/commons-math3/3.1/
|
|
|
|
[ ] +1 Release it.
|
|
[ ] +0 Go ahead; I don't care.
|
|
[ ] -0 There are a few minor glitches: ...
|
|
[ ] -1 No, do not release it because ...
|
|
|
|
This vote will close in 72 hours.
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
|
|
(11)
|
|
If some blocking problems have been found in the release deliverables, cancel
|
|
the vote by sending a "[CANCEL][VOTE]" message to the "dev" ML.
|
|
After correcting the problems, you'll likely have to start again from step 3,
|
|
4 or 5.
|
|
|
|
|
|
(12)
|
|
After at least 72 hours have elapsed, send a "[VOTE][RESULT]" mail to
|
|
summarize the outcome of the vote. This should tally the votes cast,
|
|
and state which are binding (PMC members).
|
|
|
|
|
|
(13)
|
|
The artefacts must be copied to the distribution area on the ASF web server.
|
|
|
|
The following actions must be performed when after login into your
|
|
"people.apache.org" account.
|
|
|
|
(a) Create a new directory (e.g. "cm-3.1") and "cd" into it.
|
|
|
|
(b) Retrieve the files from the Nexus server:
|
|
|
|
$ wget -r -l 1 -np -nH -nd -nv \
|
|
-e robots=off --wait 10 --no-check-certificate \
|
|
https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachecommons-051/org/apache/commons/commons-math3/3.1/
|
|
|
|
(c) Verify the checksum of each of the retrieved files. A possibility is to
|
|
check out the tools from
|
|
https://svn.apache.org/repos/private/committers/tools/releases
|
|
and use the "verify_sigs.sh" found in there.
|
|
|
|
(d) Change the "group owner" to "commons":
|
|
|
|
$ chgrp commons commons-math3-*
|
|
|
|
(e) Change to the directory of the component and move the files to their position.
|
|
|
|
$ cd /www/www.apache.org/dist/commons/math/
|
|
|
|
Source files go to the "source" subdirectory:
|
|
|
|
$ mv -i ~/cm-3.1/commons-math3-3.1-src* source
|
|
|
|
Binary files go to the "binaries" subdirectory:
|
|
|
|
$ mv -i ~/cm-3.1/commons-math3-3.1-bin* binaries
|
|
|
|
(f) Check that the files permissions are all set to "-rw-rw-r--" and that
|
|
the group owner is "commons".
|
|
|
|
(g) Update the "README.html" file to reflect the new release and copy it
|
|
to both "source" and "binaries" subdirectories.
|
|
|
|
(h) Replace the "RELEASE-NOTES.txt" with the new one, e.g. using:
|
|
|
|
$ wget --no-check-certificate https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/math/tags/MATH_3_1_RC1/RELEASE-NOTES.txt
|
|
$ mv -i RELEASE-NOTES.txt.1 RELEASE-NOTES.txt
|
|
|
|
(i) XXX There are no "current" symlinks in the "commmons/math" subdir
|
|
Maybe that this is not mandatory (?)
|
|
If this is your first release, you'll probably have to check out the
|
|
release scripts. In your home directory, run the command:
|
|
|
|
$ svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/private/committers/tools/releases/
|
|
|
|
|
|
(13)
|
|
Release (a.k.a. "promote") the artefacts on the Nexus server, as shown here:
|
|
https://docs.sonatype.org/display/Repository/Releasing+a+Staging+Repository
|
|
|
|
|
|
(14)
|
|
Publish the web site. From your local working copy of the tag, run the command:
|
|
|
|
$ mvn site:deploy
|
|
|
|
|
|
(15)
|
|
Copy the the final RC tag to the official tag:
|
|
$ svn copy \
|
|
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/math/tags/MATH_3_1_RC5 \
|
|
-m"RC5 becomes the 3.1 official version." \
|
|
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/math/tags/MATH_3_1
|
|
|
|
|
|
(16)
|
|
Allow for the web site mirrors to be updated (possibly several hours); then
|
|
send (from your apache account) a release announcement to the following ML:
|
|
announce@apache.org
|
|
dev@commons.apache.org
|
|
user@commons.apache.org
|
