Considering the Nexus repository infrastructure for our future releases?

Hi everyone,

I'd like to propose that we use Apache's Nexus repository infrastructure to release our future versions on Maven repositories.
It's used by a large number of Maven based Apache projects now, and it's the recommended way of uploading releases to Maven Repositories, as described on the "Releasing A Maven Project" Guide [1].

I think we've reach the limit with deployments on people.apache.org... My last deployment of Studio for version 1.5.2 took more than four hours (!!).

I talked with Chris Custine on that subject and we would probably have a much better performance with Nexus. It also have pretty neat features like stagging that would allow us to upload artifacts and approve (or deny) them later, which could be interesting when voting a release.

However, there's seem to be one "drawback" in the fact that once the project is moved to Nexus, deployment on people.apache.org are disabled. All deployments must be done on Nexus.
More information on this on this at INFRA-1896 [2].

I would really like that we discuss that all together and maybe we could launch a vote to move to Nexus after this discussion.

WDYT?

Thanks,
Pierre-Arnaud

Interesting...

Version used at the ASF is: Sonatype Nexus™ Professional Edition, Version: 1.5.0.1
However, I have no idea if this feature is enabled or used at the moment.

It looks like the Nexus Professional does have such a feature, but I
don't now which Nexus is used and if (whenever) it's enabled and used.

Well I thought the generated doc was deployed automatically via scp by maven, was I wrong ?

I'm not really a pro of Nexus yet.
I've just installed it and I'm currently trying it on my local machine.
I have not idea if Nexus can handle documentation releases.
I'm going to test that.

So we keep the keep it as is. After building a release we build the
documentation and deploy it to p.a.o manually. That's also ok.

Hi Felix,

I'm not really sure yet, but I'm afraid this won't work for the deployment of the generated documentation.
Maybe we should ask the infra guys about that.

However, I think a good workaround could be to have the documentation in a dedicated (empty) local repository that you can then zip/tar.gz.
You could upload that archive (zip/tar.gz file) on people.apache.org and unarchive it to the final location from there.

WDYT?

I think that's the way to go. Does there also exists a possibility to
deploy at least generated release documentation?

Thanks Chris,

These are links I came across when evaluating the move to Nexus.

Let me add another one (pretty similar to the Felix release management process):
http://maven.apache.org/developers/release/apache-release.html

This link is the recommended path for releasing Maven based projects at Apache.

Re: [VOTE][RESULTS] Switching to Apache's Nexus repository infrastructure for next releases of the Directory project

Posted by Chris Custine <ch...@gmail.com>.
Hi Guys,
We are using Nexus Staging for Felix and ServiceMix (have been for about 6
months) so I have attached some links below that might help.  FWIW, this
really simplifies staging, voting, and moving to maven central to the point
where its a no-brainer.  You won't be disappointed!

http://felix.apache.org/site/release-management-nexus.html
http://www.sonatype.com/books/nexus-book/reference/staging.html

Also, we have developed a script to download the numbered staging repo and
verify signatures etc, of the artifacts.  You should check out this recent
vote email for Karaf for the svn link to the staging script, and then you
can modify it to suit you.  BTW, one thing people overlook is that since the
staging repo is a full maven repo with just your release artifacts in it,
you can add it to your settings.xml or a test project and try to use it in a
project, just make sure you use a temporary maven.repo.local setting or clea
out your default repo if you cancel the build and stage another vote!

Hope this helps!

Is there some documentation in existence for this and/or can we update our
deployment wiki page to show people how to deploy using nexus.  If anything
maybe we can add a link etc. Just asking cuz I want to be able to use this
later but don't have the brain cycles now to figure it out.

Alex

Re: [VOTE][RESULTS] Switching to Apache's Nexus repository infrastructure for next releases of the Directory project

Posted by Pierre-Arnaud Marcelot <pa...@marcelot.net>.
Hi,

Just to let you know that I did a little test this morning.

I deployed artifacts from a testing project with multiple sub-projects.
Everything went fine and I was able to deploy the artifacts on Nexus.
Once on Nexus, I had the choice to drop the deployed artifacts or promote them to the main repository.
I dropped them since they were only here for testing purposes.

We are currenlty finishing the work on the 1.5.3 release of Studio and will probably be ready to propose a vote today.
We will use the Nexus for voting this release and we'll update the release documentation once the process is completely validated.

Regards,
Pierre-Arnaud

Hi,

The Jira issue has been resolved.

Now, we NEED to deploy everything using Nexus and DO NOT deploy anything at the old location on people.apache.org.

Thanks,
Pierre-Arnaud

[VOTE][RESULTS] Switching to Apache's Nexus repository infrastructure for next releases of the Directory project

Posted by Pierre-Arnaud Marcelot <pa...@marcelot.net>.
The vote has been approved.

Here are the results:

5 +1 votes:
    - Felix Knecht
    - Emmanuel Lécharny
    - Kiran Ayyagari
    - Pierre-Arnaud Marcelot
    - Stefan Seelmann

1 ±0 abstention vote:
    - Alex Karasulu

No -1 vote.


The next step in the process to move to the Nexus infrastructure is now to create a Jira as sub-task of INFRA-1896 [1].

Shall I wait for the ongoing vote of the release of Apache DS 1.5.6 to be closed and the artifacts released before asking to move to Nexus ?
WDYT ?

Pierre-Arnaud

[VOTE] Switching to Apache's Nexus repository infrastructure for next releases of the Directory project

Posted by Pierre-Arnaud Marcelot <pa...@marcelot.net>.
Hi Stefan and Emmanuel,

As you've started to +1 the idea, maybe it would be better to start a real formal vote.

So here it is.

[ ] +1 - Let's switch to Apache's Nexus repository infrastructure for the next releases of the Directory project
[ ] ±0 - Abstain
[ ] -1 - Let's keep our current deployment mechanism on people.apache.org

Vote is opened for 72 hours.

Thanks,
Pierre-Arnaud
