OpenWebBeans Release Checklist¶

Before performing the release you need to configure your environment if you haven't done it before.

1. Publishing Maven Artifacts (https://www.apache.org/dev/publishing-maven-artifacts.html)
2. Go to the section SETUP YOUR DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT and generate the pgp key signature. Don't forget to distribute the public key step.
   Generate PGP signature: https://blog.sonatype.com/2010/01/how-to-generate-pgp-signatures-with-maven/#.Vm9Km8q22-q

Prepare¶

1. JIRA Release Management

   • Make sure that all tickets for the release are properly marked as 'released' in our issue tracker.
   • Create ${version.next} (if not already done)
   • Move unresolved issues from ${version} (e.g. 2.0.8) to ${version.next} (e.g. 2.0.9)

2. Update README

   • Export changelog from JIRA
   • add it to readme/README.txt
   • also update the version numbers in the preface

3. Release via MVN

   • mvn clean install -Papache-release
   • mvn release:prepare -DdryRun=true
   • mvn release:prepare -Dresume=false
   • mvn release:perform

   if the release:perform fails on the last step (commit the new version in trunk) but the tag was successfully created, you can deploy the tag manually to nexus:

   • commit the version change in trunk
   • checkout the tag and execute: mvn clean install deploy -Papache-release

4. Provide the staging repository

   • login to nexus: https://repository.apache.org/#stagingRepositories
   • select the staging repository and "close" it
   • the final url should be similar to https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapacheopenwebbeans-1047

5. Provide assembly

   • SVN https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/openwebbeans/
   • Commit following files inside the ${version} (2.0.8) directory:
     • openwebbeans-2.0.8-source-release.zip
     • openwebbeans-2.0.8-source-release.zip.asc
     • openwebbeans-2.0.8-source-release.zip.sha512
     • openwebbeans-distribution-2.0.8-binary.tar.gz
     • openwebbeans-distribution-2.0.8-binary.tar.gz.asc
     • openwebbeans-distribution-2.0.8-binary.tar.gz.sha512 (must be generated manually)
     • openwebbeans-distribution-2.0.8-binary.zip
     • openwebbeans-distribution-2.0.8-binary.zip.asc
     • openwebbeans-distribution-2.0.8-binary.zip.sha512 (must be generated manually)

   OR
