Release Process

Instructions

  • Update the pdf of the online documentation and commit it
  • Checkout a fresh SVN version
  • Change the release version information
"files"
  ./build.properties:
      groovyVersion = 1.1-beta-3
  .pom.xml:
      <version>1.1-beta-3</version>
  • Tag SVN with that new release 
    svn copy https://$user@svn.codehaus.org/groovy/branches/GROOVY_1_5_X/groovy  https://$USER@svn.codehaus.org/groovy/branches/GROOVY_1_5_5 -m "creating branch for 1.5.5 release"
  • Build zips and jars using: 
    ant dist

    For 1.6 you can use (replace the jdk14home setting with the one from your system):

    ant dist -DforceRetro=true -Djdk14home=C:\j2sdk1.4.2_17               // windows
ant dist -DforceRetro=true -Djdk14home=/usr/local/j2sdk1.4.2_17       // linux

    which will also build the 1.4 retrotranslated artifacts.
    You may need to set ANT_OPTS=-Xmx512m (or similar) if you run out of memory when running GroovyDoc.

  • Upload all the zips (but not jars) to the WebDAV distribution site (https://dav.codehaus.org/dist/groovy/distributions), for example, or through rsync if you're authorized: 
    rsync -vlogDrzP ./target/dist/*.zip $USER@groovy.codehaus.org:/projects/groovy/dist/

    (just check they are in the right place afterwards; you may still need a webdav client to move them into the right subdirectories if something goes wrong)

  • Put m2 jars into right place for uptake into repo1 (see Publishing artifacts on Building Groovy from Source for more details): 
    ant -DskipTests=true deploy
ant -DskipTests=true -DforceRetro=true -Djdk14home=... deploy    // for jdk14 artifacts also

    (Note 1: there is currently some duplicated work done by 'ant dist' above and 'ant deploy' here which we need to eventually consolidate)
    Should therebe a problem when uploading the jars, check that thre is a file ~/.m2/settings.xml containing:

    <?xml version="1.0"?>
<settings>
  <servers>
    <server>
      <id>codehaus.org</id>
      <username>USER</username>
      <password>PASSWORD</password>
    </server>
  </servers>
</settings>

    Where USER and PASSQORD are replaced if the right values.

  • Upload the javadocs through rsync to the WebDAV web site, for example: 
    rsync -vlogDrzP ./target/html/* $USER@groovy.codehaus.org:/projects/groovy/web/
  • Update the download links: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GROOVY/Download
  • Announce the release
  • Update the release version information to the next snapshot
