2.5.5 branch prep

Create .externals_2-5-xto2-5-5 file

Documents the 2.5.x revisions that were used to construct this branch. Create a temp folder for .externals_2-5-xto2-5-4 and then issue an svn import WITHOUT including the temp folder in the destination path and .externals_2-5-xto2-5-5 will be added.

svn import tmpexternals https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/sakai/branches/sakai_2-5-4 -m "add .externals_2-5-xto2-5-5"
sakai.properties updates

Update .externals

OBSOLETE: .externals now pulls from head of branch. Check out 2.5.5 branch .externals to local tag prep folder and update revision numbers to last commit from above steps. This ensures that the next checkout will include all branch prep commits.

cd /Users/arwhyte/Development/svn/sakai_tag_prep
svn co -N https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/sakai/branches/sakai_2-5-4 sakai_2-5-4_branch

(!) When running sed watch out for mucking up the content-review project when searching on -r.

sed 's/-r [0-9]*/-r 55588/' < .externals > .externals_temp
cp .externals_temp .externals

svn propset -F .externals svn:externals .
svn propget svn:externals
svn commit -m "tag prep for next release"

Check out 2.5.5 branch again and confirm checkout includes all tag prep commits as well as updated .externals.

Cut RC1 tag.

Release Prep

Local build machine environment
  1. Check out 2.5.5 branch
  2. clean Tomcat 5.5.26
  3. empty .m2/repository/org/sakaiproject

<copy file="${basedir}/../reference/library/src/webapp/icon/favicon.ico"
tofile="${basedir}/target/pack/webapps/ROOT/favicon.ico"

Update .externals

OBSOLETE: .externals now pulls from head of branch. Check out 2.5.5 branch .externals to local tag prep folder and update revision numbers to last tag prep commit. This ensures that the next checkout will include all tag prep commits.

cd /Users/arwhyte/Development/svn/sakai_tag_prep
svn co -N https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/sakai/branches/sakai_2-5-4 sakai_2-5-4_branch

Update manually component project only in .externals. Do not run sed and overwrite other projects.

svn propset -F .externals svn:externals .
svn propget svn:externals
svn commit -m "tag prep for next release"

Check out 2.5.5 branch again and confirm checkout includes all tag prep commits as well as updated .externals.

Generate Release artifacts

1. Mount Sakai Maven2 Repo using DAV (https:/source.sakaiproject.org/maven2 -> /Volumes/maven2). WARNING: create backup folder of maven2 so that only one copy operation is required in event of a generation failure.
2. Copy sakaiartifactgenerator.sh to local 2.5.5 branch checkout folder and run

sh sakaiartifactgenerator.sh 2.5.5 storepass keystore

The artifactgenerator script performs the following steps

1. clean out previous builds
2. clean out target, m2-target, bin
3. clean out /tmp/maven2

4. updates <version> (M2 to 2.5.5) in
all pom.xml
all .classpath
all runconversion.sh, also content-runconversion.sh

The script pauses to allow the changes to be committed. Once the commits are completed, update the .externals file (all projects) to r52308 in preparation for cutting the final release tag.

sed -e "s/ -r [0-9]*/ -r 52308/" <.externals >.externals.tmp
cp .externals.tmp .externals
rm -f .externals.tmp


svn propset -F .externals svn:externals .
svn propget svn:externals
svn commit -m "tag prep for next release"

Resume script run.

5. tar up the source code (samigo-audio jar is not signed)

The script then pauses to allow a manual modification of samigo-audio pom.xml to uncomment the jar sign execution goal. Uncomment the maven-jar-plugin. Comment out <keystore>, <alias> and <storepass>.

WARNING DO NOT COMMIT this change to the samigo-audio pom.xml file.

    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>

        <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
        <executions>
           <execution>
              <goals>
                 <goal>sign</goal>
              </goals>
           </execution>
        </executions>
        <configuration>
<!--
           <keystore>/somepath/your.keystore</keystore>
           <alias>youralias</alias>
           <storepass>yourpassword</storepass>
-->
           <verify>true</verify>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>

6. perform the following mvn actions:

mvn install (in /master)
mvn -Ppack-demo install -Dkeystore=${location}/Sakai.keystore -Dalias=sakai -Dstorepass=${KEYSTOREPASS}
mvn install source:jar source:test-jar deploy -Dkeystore=${location}/Sakai.keystore -Dalias=sakai -Dstorepass=${KEYSTOREPASS}
mvn javadoc:javadoc
mvn -Ptaglib taglib:taglibdocjar deploy

where ${KEYSTOREPASS} is the keystore password and Sakai.keystore contains the certificates.

7. then package up
the maven repo in /tmp/maven2
the javadoc
the sakai-demo and sakai-bin artifacts
the taglibsdocs

Check samigo audio jar for signature

jarsigner -verify sakai-samigo-audio-2.5.5.jar

Check artifacts

1. Build and deploy the sakai-src artifact.

WARNING do not issue clean and install goals or local repo will get wiped prematurely (Sakai maven2 repo has yet to be updated).

cd master
mvn install
cd ..
mvn -o -Dmaven.test.skip=true sakai:deploy

2. Run the demo artifact.
3. Checkout 2.5.5 branch and import into Eclipse. Check pom.xml files for correct revision.

Update Sakai Maven2 repo

1. Make backup copy of current maven2/org/sakaiproject folder where x.x.x equals the previous Sakai release number. Then untar updated files:

sudo tar -xvzf mavenrepo-2.5.5.tgz -C /var/www/html/

Generate checksums (example)

md5sum sakai-bin-2.5.5.tar.gz > sakai-bin-2.5.5_tar_gz.md5

Cut release tag from 2.5.5 branch

The sakaitagbuilder.bash script accepts two arguments: Sakai version and tag suffix (e.g., blank, beta01, rc01, qa01). In this case no tag suffix is required.

bash sakaitagbuilder.bash 2-5-4

After the release is generated, backup .m2/repository/org/sakaiproject, whack original (to ensure someone new can populate their repo from scratch), download the release tag and build and deploy it to a fresh Tomcat and fresh MySQL database.

Build release page

Make sure that external links to Confluence release pages are updated.
