Apache Maven

As of Maven 2.1.0 you can now encrypt your servers passwords. We highly recommend that you follow this guide to set your master password and use it to encrypt your ASF password in the next section.

ASF settings

Using the instructions from the previous step encrypt your Sonatype password and add the following servers to your ~/.m2/settings.xml file. You may already have other servers in this file. If not just create the file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<settings>
  ...
  <servers>
    <server>
      <id>apache.snapshots.https</id>
      <username>simonetripodi</username>
      <password>{put your encrypted password here}</password>
    </server>
    <server>
      <id>apache.releases.https</id>
      <username>simonetripodi</username>
      <password>{put your encrypted password here}</password>
    </server>
  </servers>
  ...
  <profiles>
    <profile>
      <id>apache</id>
      <activation>
        <activeByDefault>false</activeByDefault>
      </activation>
      <properties>
        <mavenExecutorId>forked-path</mavenExecutorId>
        <gpg.keyname>19FEA27D</gpg.keyname>\
        <!-- optional -->
        <gpg.passphrase>your-gpg-passphrase</gpg.passphrase>
      </properties>
    </profile>
  </profiles>
  ...
</settings>

You can find a settings.xml template in our SVN committers space

Prepare the source for release

1. Clean up JIRA so the Fix Version in issues resolved since the last release includes this release version correctly. Also, transition any Resolved issues to the Closed state.
2. Update the text files in a working copy of the project root:
   1. Update the CHANGES based on the Text release reports from JIRA.
   2. Review and update README if needed.
   3. Commit any changes back to svn:

      svn commit -m "updating files for release"

      .
3. Perform a full build and deploy the SNAPSHOT artifacts:

   mvn clean deploy

Get source tree

1. Only for new major releases (like 1.0.0 to 1.1.0):
   Create a sub-branch from which to make the release.
   Releasing from a branch will allow any cosmetic changes that need to be made for the release to be approved to be done without preventing other more disruptive advances in the trunk from potentially causing problems with the release. It also provides a future maintenance branch (like 1.0.x.)
   A branch can be made by running:

   mvn release:branch -DbranchName=1.0.x

2. Checkout a clean copy of the trunk/branch to release using command line svn:

   svn checkout https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/oltu/trunk/ release

Prepare the release

1. Do a dry run of the release:prepare step.

   mvn release:prepare -DdryRun=true

   The dry run will not commit any changes back to SVN and gives you the opportunity to verify that the release process will complete as expected.

   If you cancel a release:prepare before it updates the pom.xml versions, then use the release:clean goal to just remove the extra files that were created.

2. Verify that the release process completed as expected:
   1. The release plugin will create pom.xml.tag files which contain the changes that would have been committed to SVN. The only differences between pom.xml.tag and its corresponding pom.xml file should be the version number.
   2. If other formatting changes have been made you should review the changes and then commit them:

      svn commit -m "fixing formatting for release"

   3. Assuming the .tag files look OK you may proceed and do any other validation you feel necessary. The following list may be helpful:
      1. Check release.properties and make sure that the scm properties have the right version. Sometimes the scm location can be the previous version not the next version.
      2. Verify signatures: On Un*x platforms the following command can be executed:

         for file in `find . -type f -iname '*.asc'`
         do
           gpg --verify ${file}
         done

         You'll need to look at the output to ensure it contains only good signatures:

         gpg: Good signature from ...
         gpg: Signature made ...

   4. Once any failures or required updates have been committed to svn, rollback the release prepare files:

      mvn release:rollback

3. Run the release:prepare step for real this time. You'll be prompted for the same version information and optionally your GPG passphrase again.

   mvn release:prepare

Perform the release

1. From the directory where you have launched release:prepare execute (this step will create a maven staging repository):

   mvn release:perform [-Duser.name=<your_apache_uid>]

   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. This is known to work for Linux, but not for Mac and unknown for Windows.

   1. Verify the staged artifacts in the Nexus repository:
      1. https://repository.apache.org/
      2. Enterprise --> Staging
      3. Staging tab --> Name column --> org.apache.oltu
      4. Navigate through the artifact tree and make sure that all binary, javadoc, sources, and tests jars, as well as poms, ... have .asc (GPG signature) and checksum files (see Repository FAQ and Detached Signatures). The oltu-sources-dist-X.Y.tar.gz and oltu-sources-dist-X.Y.zip files shall likewise have signature and checksum files.
   2. Close the Nexus staging repo:
      1. https://repository.apache.org/
      2. Enterprise --> Staging
      3. Staging tab --> Name column --> org.apache.oltu
      4. Right click on the open org.apache.oltu-XXX staging repo and select Close.
   3. Add the distribution artifacts to the build area (the grab-binaries.sh script is versioned under the committer space of Oltu SVN).

      ssh asf-id@people.apache.org
      cd /x1/builds/oltu
      
      bash grab-binaries.sh REPO_ID VERSION

2. This step will create the staging site: From the directory where you have launched release:perform execute:

   cd target/checkout
   svn checkout https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/oltu/site/ staging-site
   mvn -P site site-deploy -Dsite.deploymentBaseUrl=file:///<absolute path to/<staging-site/version>>
   cd staging-site
   svn add <version>
   svn commit -m "staging site for release"

Vote the Release

1. Create a VOTE email thread on dev@oltu to record votes as replies, e.g.:

   To: "Apache Oltu Developers List" <dev@oltu.apache.org>
   Subject: [VOTE] Release Apache Oltu X.Y
   
   Hi,
   
   We solved N issues:
   https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=12311100&styleName=Html&version=X.Y
   
   There are still a couple of issues left in JIRA:
   https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&pid=12311100&status=1
   
   SVN source tag (r9999999):
   https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/oltu/tags/X.Y/
   
   Staging repo:
   https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapacheoltu-[YOUR REPOSITORY ID]/
   
   Staging binaries:
   http://people.apache.org/builds/oltu/
   
   Staging site:
   http://incubator.apache.org/oltu/X.Y/
   
   PGP release keys (signed using ABCDEFG):
   http://www.apache.org/dist/oltu/KEYS
   
   Vote will be open for 72 hours.
   
   [ ] +1, let's get it ruuuumbleeeeee!!!
   [ ] +/-0, fine, but consider to fix few issues before...
   [ ] -1, nope, because... (and please explain why)

2. Create a DISCUSS email thread on dev@oltu for any vote questions, e.g.:

   To: "Apache Oltu Developers List" <dev@oltu.apache.org>
   Subject: [DISCUSS] Apache Oltu X.Y
   
   Discussion thread for vote on &lt;version&gt; release candidate, with SVN source tag (r9999999).
   
   For more information on the release process, check out http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html
   
   Some of the things to check before voting are:
    - does "mvn rat:check" pass on the source
    - can you build the contents of source-release.zip and svn tag
    - do all of the staged jars/zips contain the required LICENSE and NOTICE files
    - are all of the staged jars signed and the signature verifiable
    - is the signing key in the project's KEYS file and on a public server (i.e. http://www.apache.org/dist/oltu/)
               

3. Perform a review of the release and cast your vote. For more details on Apache releases see https://www.apache.org/dev/release.html.
4. A -1 vote does not necessarily mean that the vote must be redone, however it is usually a good idea to rollback the release if a -1 vote is received (see "Recovering from a vetoed release" below).
5. After the vote has been open for at least 72 hours, has at least three +1 PMC votes and no -1 votes, then post the results to the vote thread, replying to the initial email prepending [RESULT] to the original subject and include a list of every binding +1, 0 and -1 vote.

   To: "Apache Oltu Developers List" <dev@oltu.apache.org>
   CC: "Apache Oltu PMC List" <private@oltu.apache.org>
   Subject: [RESULT] [VOTE] Release Apache Oltu X.Y
   
   Hi,
   The vote has passed with the following result :
   
   +1 (binding):
   
       Antonio Sanso
       Tommaso Teofili
       Stuart "Pid" Williams
       Simone Tripodi
   
   +1 (non binding):
   
       Mario Rossi
       John Doe
   
   I will promote the artifacts to the central repo.

Finalize the Release

1. Promote the staged nexus artifacts:
   1. https://repository.apache.org/
   2. Enterprise --> Staging
   3. Staging tab --> Name column --> org.apache.oltu
   4. Right click on the closed org.apache.oltu-XXX staging repo and select Release.
2. Add the distribution artifacts to the distribution area
