this commit allows to run the release tool for smoke
testing without being on the actually released branch.
This commit also added a list of plugins that will be installed
for smoke testing to see if the plugin startup mechanism works
correctly.
the build_release.py tool now also downloads and verfyfies the
released packages from S3. It checks integrity based on the sha1
checksums and runs the smoketest against the specs in the current branch.
Currently when importing projects into eclipse you need to run 'mvn
eclipse:eclipse' on the command line to generate the poject files. This
means that when the pom changes you need to re-run the command on the
command line to reflect those changes in the project in eclipse. This
commit allows the developer to import the project as an existing maven
project (can be shared using git after import) and then allows the
application to be run inside eclipse using the .launch file in
/dev-tools enabling easy debugging of the application within eclipse
without requiring a maven build.
1) add build_desc property variable
2) use build_id plus build_number as an unique file name
3) tools subdirectory should be under current PWD when the script is
executing
If RPM tools are not installed the release tool now fails with an
appropriate message. The tool now also fails if any of the required
artifacts is not present.
We use 'coming[x.y.z]' in our ref docs which needs to be updated
when doing a release to 'added[x.y.z]' This commit adds support
for replacing the references where applicable during preparing the release.
This tool builds a release and runs several checks to make sure the
release is in a reasonable shape (smoke test). From a top level
perspective it runs the following steps:
* clean the build environment `mvn clean`
* check if a Java 6 JDK is available
* run the tests with network and local
* generates the checksums for the binary packages
* uploads the binary packages to Amazon S3
* runs a 'mvn deploy' to publish the maven artifacts
The script will create an intermediate branch from a given 'release
branch' updates all versions based on the version we are currently
releasing. Updates the 'pom.xml' file as well as the 'Version.java'
class. Once this is done it commits the changes and rebase with the
branch we want to release from, merges the changes from the intermediate
branch and pushes to the given remote repository including the release
tag.
