Release Process

Instructions

• Update the pdf of the online documentation and commit it
• Checkout a fresh SVN version
• Change the release version information

  ./build.properties:
      groovyVersion = 1.1-beta-3
  .pom.xml:    
      <version>1.1-beta-3</version>

• Tag SVN with that new release
• Build zips and jars using:
  • ant dist
• Put m2 jars into right place for uptake into repo1 (see Publishing artifacts on Building Groovy from Source for more details):
  • ant deploy
• Upload all the zips (but not jars) to the WebDAV distribution site (https://dav.codehaus.org/dist/groovy/distributions)

You can use rsync -vlogDrzP ./target/dist/*.zip $user@groovy.codehaus.org:/projects/groovy/dist/distributions (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)

• 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
