CVS Tagging
Once you have cut the release and you are happy create a new tag in CVS so that we can pull out the files as a future date. Run:
cvs -tag -R GT_2_0_B_n
Update JIRA and create a ChangeLog
Any unresolved issues that did not make the release version need to be bumped back to the next release. Fortuatly JIRA alows you to do this on mass. Then mark the version as released, this will update the ChangeLog file to show what has been fixed since the last release. For example see:
http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/BrowseProject.jspa?id=10170&report=changelog
Update the version number again
TODO
Tell the world
Make an announcement on FreshMeat, SourceForge, java.net, blogs, use the tee shirt for a whole week until it gets rancid, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.
Thats all that comes to mind having just cut a release, but I'm sure I missed parts out, hopefully this page will mature into a detailed release guide.
