Release day

Update the release notes

Add the release notes to distro/src/main/files/readme.html

Initial preparation in the codebase

  • Verify that the release notes have been added
  • Create the release branch: 
  • Update the version in the release branch: s/5.0.alpha3-SNAPSHOT/5.0.alpha3/g
  • Update the version in trunk to the next version's snapshot e.g. s/5.0.alpha3-SNAPSHOT/5.0.alpha4-SNAPSHOT/g
  • Verification: Run the test suite: mvn -Pcheck clean install in the code base root

Test the distribution

  • Remove the 'skip.deploy.activiti.modeler=true' from $user.home/.activiti/build.properties
    Or even better: rename the build.properties temporary to e.g. XXXbuild.properties
  • Verification: Run the demo setup: ant test.demo.setup in directory qa

Upload the distribution

Build the distribution in directory distro:

Then upload the distro/target/activiti-5.0.alpha3.zip to http://ts.alfresco.com/share/page/site/activiti/documentlibrary#path=/Downloads&page=1

Trigger Ash to upload the file to Amazon S3

Publish the maven artifacts

Add following to /{$user.home}/.m2/settings.xml

Note that this will save your password in plain text.
It is possible (since maven 2.1.0) to encrypt your password (untested): http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-encryption.html

Just do a mvn -Pcheck clean install followed by a mvn deploy on the root. This will publish all artifact to the snapshot/release repo, depending whether '-SNAPSHOT' is added to the current project version.
