Release info

This is a scratch pad for notes relating to making branches, releases and pushing to the Sakai Maven repo.

Make a branch

mvn release:branch -DautoVersionSubmodules=true -DbranchName=profile2-1.3.x

when prompted set the working copy (i.e. trunk) to 1.4-SNAPSHOT
check the <scm> urls are ok

If by chance branching fails issue a mvn release:rollback to clean your folder.

Making a release

Always release from the branch (do not release from trunk)

mvn release:prepare -DdryRun=true
mvn release:clean release:prepare release:perform

when prompted set the release version to 1.3.0.
set the tag to profile-1.3.0
set the branch working copy to 1.3.1-SNAPSHOT

Sometimes the release gets as far as creating the tag, updating the branch version pom and then stalls with no binaries deposited in the repo. If that happens kill the process and do this:

download the profile-1.3.0 tag

mvn release:perform -DconnectionUrl=scm:svn:https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/profile2/tags/profile2-1.3.0

This will release the artifacts to the Maven repository directly from the tag.

Updating SNAPSHOT artifacts

mvn clean install source:jar javadoc:jar deploy

or with a site:

mvn clean install source:jar javadoc:jar site:site site:deploy deploy
