Prerequisites

Before entering into this process you need to ensure you will be able to cryptographically sign the final result in such a way that others can validate the signature. This can be a confusing process. Here are links to several documents that should help.

Prepare

In preparation for each release there are a number of sub-steps required to ensure that that the project's repository is in a suitable state for branching.

Update version numbers

(from X.Y.Z-SNAPSHOT to X.Y.Z)

Update CHANGES

Update CHANGES.txt with release date (Release X.Y - MM/dd/yyyy) and (if needed) add additional changelog entries

Update documentation

Commit updates

Build and Test

Perform a clean clone

git clone https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator-knox.git knox-release

Perform a full build including tests

cd knox-release
mvn clean package

Sanity testing

Do some basic manual testing to see if release looks ok. For example do and install and run through a few of the samples.

Branch

Create a branch for release maintenance

Sign

ant sign

Stage - Step-By-Step Guide to Mirroring Releases.

e.g., gpg --armor --output tika-X.Y.tar.gz.asc --detach-sig tika-X.Y.tar.gz \
md5sum tika-X.Y.tar.gz > tika-X.Y.tar.gz.md5

Vote

13. Release Review and Vote: Use the following email as a template for a real email sent to the private@lucene.apache.org and the tika-dev@lucene.apache.org lists, calling for a vote on the release candidate (posted on a publicly accessible website):

Iterate based on feedback until bote passes

Publish

15. Once vote passes, tag the tika release:

svn copy https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/tika/trunk \ https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/tika/tika/tags/X.Y -m "Tika X.Y release."
16. Copy release tar file to people.apache.org:/www/www.apache.org/dist/lucene/tika. based on vote (also included *.asc file and *.md5 file)

17. Wait 24 hours for release to propagate to mirrors.

Update site

4. Update news in src/site/src/documentation/content/xdocs/index.xml and for main lucene.apache.org site stored at https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/site/. The second change may require additional rights

Create version in JIRA for release X.Y.

Send announcements to the user and developer lists.

Prepare for new development

Update version numbers for to A.B-dev (assuming A.B is next release number) in:

pom.xml - version tag
2. Update CHANGES with header for new changes

3. Create version in JIRA for development snapshots (X.Y.Z)
