Monday, 12:00 | Make sure the #One time setup steps have been performed.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Monday, 12:01 | Create a sub-branch off of the parent 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. A branch can be made by running:
| |||||||||
Monday, 12:02 | Checkout the branch using command line svn.
| |||||||||
Monday, 12:04 | Update the text files which are included in the release. See instructions at Update release text files for details. | |||||||||
Monday, 12:10 | Commit these changes back to the branch
| |||||||||
Monday, 12:11 | Do a dry run of the release plugin. 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. You will be prompted for the following information :
| |||||||||
Monday, 12:30 | Validate that the release process completed as expected. 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 it's corresponding pom.xml file should be the version number. If other formatting changes have been made you should rollback the release and commit the changes manually.
| |||||||||
Monday, 12:31 | Assuming the .tag files look OK you may proceed and do any other validation you feel necessary. The following list may be helpful
| |||||||||
Monday, 12:52 | Prepare the release. You'll be prompted for the version information and optionally your GPG passphrase again.
| |||||||||
Monday, 13:15 | Perform the release. This step will create a maven repository for use in testing on people.apache.org:/home/userName/public_html/openjpa/newVersion. You will may be prompted for your people.apache.org password several times if you have not added a ssh key to .authorized_keys. One time setup #One time setup#people.apache.org.
| |||||||||
Monday, 13:40 | Create and upload the site. This step also uploads data to people.apache.org.
| |||||||||
Monday, 13:40 | Unzip the binary archive the staging site directory
| |||||||||
Monday, 13:41 | Send an email to dev@openjpa.apache.org requesting a vote. Vote email example | |||||||||
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday | 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. Recovering from a vetoed release | |||||||||
Thursday, 13:41 | If the vote passes copy the release artifacts from your home directory to the ibiblio-rsync-repository using the maven stage plugin.
After the stage plugin completes it's a good idea to check the permissions on the file system.
| |||||||||
Thursday, 14:00 | Copy build artifacts to the openjpa/builds location on people.apache.org.
| |||||||||
Thursday, 14:10 | Copy the distribution files to dist on people.apache.org.
| |||||||||
Thursday, 14:15 | Update the JIRA versions page to mark the version as "released", and set the date to the date that the release was approved. You may also need to make a new release entry for the subsequent release. | |||||||||
Friday, 14:15 | After the mirrors have had time to update (24 hours to be on the safe side) update the downloads page with the new release | |||||||||
Friday, 14:15 | Make a news announcement on the OpenJPA wiki.
| |||||||||
Friday, 14:15 | Make an announcement about the release on the users@openjpa.apache.org list (and, for major releases, on the announce@apache.org list as per the Apache Announcement Mailing Lists page). The announcement might look something like this. | |||||||||
Friday, 14:20 | Make an announcement for the freshmeat.net OpenJPA project (optional) | |||||||||
Friday, 14:30 | Have a beer and enjoy your weekend while the world's grateful programmers revel in yet another high-quality release of Apache OpenJPA! |

Is this step even necessary? Due to the question mark below without an explanation of the new location for this alternate .ssh folder, I never performed these steps. And, the release process still seemed to work okay for me... The next person to use these instructions can verify whether any tricks had to be played with the .ssh folders... |
