Needed: Release Manager for Apache NetBeans 10
Hi all,
Following our roadmap...
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Apache+NetBeans+Release+Roadmap
...we are approaching feature freeze.
A release manager is needed, Emilian did a fantastic job in the Apache
NetBeans 9 release, and I am sure he can provide support and advice as
needed.
Several indicated interest in this role the last time we discussed this,
e.g., here:
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/fc7d4a9d71c595f964a0e0ed102b3b25305d3d2dd77135853cedb70e@%3Cdev.netbeans.apache.org%3E
The release manager needs to branch off the release on Sep 30 and not let
any features in after that, only bug fixes. Right now, the integration with
JDK 11 and PHP looks solid, Java EE, JavaScript, Groovy, would all be great
to include -- but people need to step forward fast now to make that happen
otherwise that will be shifted to the next release, early next year, while
all those features will of course be available as is from the 8.2 Plugin
Portal.
Hopefully we could then have Apache NetBeans 10 Vote Candidate 1 or 2 ready
for Oracle Code One as a beta or preview release, with the final release
during November.
Thanks,
Gj

I've "released 9.0" on JIRA and created a 10.0 version now.

Re: Needed: Release Manager for Apache NetBeans 10
Posted by Antonio <an...@vieiro.net>.
Hi Laszlo,
For "3. We need to create a feature page" we also want to update the
site-wide banners and the main page slider. Also the footer should point
to NetBeans 10.
I may help with what. Last time I submitted a PR against the
incubator-netbeans-website that had to be slightly modified in the last
minute (after the official announcement, I think) to include proper
checksums in the web page.
This webpage thing is a bit of a chicken-egg problem, the announcement
should include a link to the download page, but the download page has to
have a link to the official announcement. I imagine we have to think
which is first: if the chicken or the egg :-D
Cheers,
Antonio

Until we put together the official new feature page on netbeans.apache.org,
this is where we're gathering all the features -- so, if anyone has had
their pull requests merged, and if those pull requests result in some kind
of enhancement that is going to be noticeable by a user, please consider
briefly documenting your enhancement here is the last step of your process:

Re: Needed: Release Manager for Apache NetBeans 10
Posted by Geertjan Wielenga <ge...@googlemail.com.INVALID>.
Hi Laszlo,
Fantastic list of items and you clearly are going to be a great release
manager.
One related item is that, or as a reminder, is that there'll be one or more
voting candidates that you'll be putting together, which we could call
Alpha, Beta, etc, but in Apache terminology will be voting candidate 1,
voting candidate 2, etc.
The first of these that you put together will be used by the NetCAT
community, assuming we continue with the NetCAT approach, and assuming is
approved by NetCAT, will then go to a vote on the Apache NetBeans developer
mailing list, after which it will go to the IPMC vote (i.e., the incubator
PMC).
If a vote fails on any of these levels, we'll need to fix an issue or
something else, and then you'll create another voting candidate.
Whichever voting candidate passes all votes will be the newly released
Apache NetBeans 10.
Note that we have all of October for the above process:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Apache+NetBeans+Release+Roadmap
Hope that what I'm doing here is simply reiterating what we all already
know to be true, i.e., there's nothing controversial or new in this mail,
just restating the process as we know it to be.

Re: Needed: Release Manager for Apache NetBeans 10
Posted by Laszlo Kishalmi <la...@gmail.com>.
Hi Geertjan,
First, my timezone is Pacific time. I've read through the docs. It seems
I'm going to have a bit more task, than before, but I guess the first
time was the hardest one.
1. After we finalize the scope, merge whatever PR is out to be merged,
we need to create a release branch, then it needs to be cleansed
from those parts which were not ready to be delivered.
2. On the binaries we need to decide whether shall we create binary
release flavors like PHP, Java SE or if it got ready in time Jakarta EE
3. We need to create a feature (New and Noteworthy) page
4. In JIRA we need a new version (or two versions for 10.0 an 11.0).
BTW I do not know if the 9.0 has been marked as closed. Do we have a
JIRA admin guy or we need to requests these modifications?
5. Once the code is shaping up on release branch, creating tags,
binaries and signatures are ok.
6. There will be some voting
7. We need to put 9.0 version in the archives.
8. I also try for a real snap for Linux release this time, I'm not that
far from that.
Have I missed any major important thing?
P.S.: I'm planning to formulate the release process as a JIRA task with
detailed bite sized sub-tasks, so it can be tracked, and probably cloned
for further releases.

Hi Laszlo,
The things that are involved in managing the release are described in
"Producing a Release Candidate" below:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Apache+NetBeans+Release+README
It would be good to go through that and see where you anticipate problems
and just get an overview of what you'll be doing.

Some potential candidates for this role, i.e., which is pretty impressive,
the fact that we have this many who could IMHO already do this from a
perspective of insight, though the main problem in most/each cases is
probably time:
- Antonio Vieiro
- Sven Reimers
- Matthias Bläsing
- Junichi Yamamoto
- Eric Barboni
- Neil C. Smith
- Thilina Ranathunga
- Laszlo Kishalmi
- John McDonnell
- Wade Chandler
There may be more and I apologize for omitting anyone else who has been
involved for some time, committed quite a bit in one way or another, and
has shown IMHO the technical interest needed for this.
Any volunteers from the above, or someone else -- I am sure you'll be
supported a lot by Emilian, who was the previous release manager, as well
as myself and the rest of the community of course.
Thanks,

> The release manager needs to branch off the release on Sep 30 and not let
> any features in after that, only bug fixes. Right now, the integration with
> JDK 11 and PHP looks solid, Java EE, JavaScript, Groovy, would all be great
> to include -- but people need to step forward fast now to make that happen
> otherwise that will be shifted to the next release, early next year, while
> all those features will of course be available as is from the 8.2 Plugin
> Portal.

> Hopefully we could then have Apache NetBeans 10 Vote Candidate 1 or 2
> ready for Oracle Code One as a beta or preview release, with the final
> release during November.
