|
|
=========================
|
|
|

Licensed under Apache License 2.0 - http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0
|
|
|
|
|
|
== Summary
|
|
|
|
These instructions describe how perform an official release of the Apache OpenJPA project.
|
|
|
|
|
|
== Prerequisits
|
|
|
|
|
|
* You need a valid Apache account and
|
|
* Maven installed on your box
|
|
* Java 6 or 7
|
|
* Do NOT Release with Java 8 yet!
|
|
* TODO probably we require a ~/.m2/toolchains.xml set up correctly in the future
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
== Manual Release Preparation Steps
|
|
|
|
* Make sure you have the latest version checked out and no local modifications
|
|
$> svn up
|
|
$> svn st
|
|
This should not show any dirty files
|
|
|
|
* Run a full build
|
|
$> mvn clean install
|
|
|
|
== Update the Release Notes
|
|
Edit openjpa-project/RELEASE-NOTES.html and add a new section for the new release.
|
|
Just remove all the bug content from the previous release.
|
|
|
|
Make sure all the ticets for the upcoming release are set to resolved
|
|
You can grab the content for the new release at
|
|
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA/?selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.jira-projects-plugin:versions-panel
|
|
Just copy over the html content for the generated ReleaseNotes.
|
|
|
|
At last add a link to the RELEASE-NOTES.html of the previous release to the table on the bottom of the page.
|
|
|
|
|
|
== Performing the Release
|
|
|
|
We use maven to roll the release. Please make sure you understand how
|
|
the Apache Maven maven-release-plugin works:
|
|
http://maven.apache.org/maven-release/maven-release-plugin/
|
|
|
|
|
|
=== Running the release prepare steps
|
|
|
|
$> mvn release:prepare
|
|
|
|
Depending on your location you probably get an error for the first time.
|
|
This happens if you hit a svn mirror which is not updated quickly enough.
|
|
Simply rerun this step after a few seconds. No worries, maven will continue
|
|
exactly where it left off.
|
|
|
|
=== Validating the tag
|
|
|
|
You should now get a fresh tag in https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openjpa/tags/
|
|
Please verify that the tag looks good and that all pom.xml files really got updated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
=== Running the release perform steps
|
|
|
|
$> mvn release:perform
|
|
|
|
This will finally do a clean checkout from the freshly generated tag and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
== Verifying the Maven Staging Repository
|
|
|
|
Login in to https://repository.apache.org/
|
|
Navigate to 'Staging Repositories' and verify the content of your release.
|
|
Then 'close' the staging and copy the URL of the staging repository
|
|
|
