Questions regarding release handling & infrastructure problem
From a recent request on our user list
<http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-odf-users/201701.mbox/%3CEE561BBE-CF8C-4410-8B41-B1425E239E80%40upnix.com%3E>,
I realized that people - oppose to me and some friends - are using releases
for testing and work with the ODF Toolkit.
Therefore I finally have started work on doing a release. Yeah, sorry for
taking so long.
One questions arises from http://incubator.apache.org/odftoolkit/odftoolkit-
release-guide.html
In the past we uploaded release candicates to the
http://people.apache.org/ server,
where I do not find a way to login and upload. Where are usually incubating
release candidates being staged nowadays?
Did not find anything instantly on
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/release-java.html
Thanks in advance,
Svante
PS: Is there any other way to solve the windows build node problem for our
project aside this issue: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-13408

I guess I am able now to answer now all questions from other incubator
release documentations, such as
https://pirk.incubator.apache.org/releasing#apache-release-documentation
Need to double check if their pom.xml do other tricks, we might overtake
some of them.
Have a nice week-end and sorry for the noise ;)

Re: Questions regarding release handling & infrastructure problem
Posted by Svante Schubert <sv...@gmail.com>.
Short update and two release related questions in the end...
*Short Update on Maven artifacts:*
The Maven artifacts can be found now in a staging repository for testing:
https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/staging/org/apache/odftoolkit/odftoolkit/
and
https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapacheodftoolkit-1004/
so you might already test it by adding this either by adding the following
to your Maven settings:
<profile>
<id>odfstage</id>
<activation>
<activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
</activation>
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>staged-releases</id>
<url>
https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapacheodftoolkit-1004/
</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
</profile>
or as you may test the latest SNAPSHOT (as it as the same binaries - only
README and CHANGES.txt were changed)
SNAPSHOTS can can found under
https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/public/org/apache/odftoolkit/
(FYI: The problem I run into yesterday, was that Nexus did not find
yesterday my GPG key on a public server when I closed the repositiory, I
resent and tested this time availabiltiy.)
*TWO QUESTIONS:*
*1) *In our current way the release process is done (and I understood it),
the release candiate gets an RC<Number> suffix, as RC1 now.
We would voted upon and now the crazy part starts, it will thrown away and
a new bundle would be deployed without the suffix as RELEASE.
Maven offers a plugin to support renaming, but do we allow to rename the
bundle on the server?
*2) *If I understand John correctly the ZIP to vote on should be on
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/odftoolkit
I was abel to access https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/ via
WebDAV, but only with read, but not write access.
sftp failed by authentication.
Have a nice week-end,
Svante

Re: Questions regarding release handling & infrastructure problem
Posted by Svante Schubert <sv...@gmail.com>.
Hi everyone,
I started doing my very first release here at Apache and walked through
many pages of documentation in the past two days.
To be honest, somehow I was missing some kind of short description to do a
release like painting by numbers. :)
In the end, I realized that much of such a short release description I
desired can be taken from our wiki release guide, which is still mostly
valid:
http://incubator.apache.org/odftoolkit/odftoolkit-release-guide.html
I will update our Wiki after the release and come back with suggestions for
improvement on the incubation pages to John.
Our release candidate is ready as source directory:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/odf/tags/odftoolkit-0.6.2-incubating-RC1/
but somehow I am missing the ZIP version, I got on my disc on the Apache
server.
Do I need to use 'svn cp? Does anybody know were this is described in the
documentation?
BTW as result from my trial and error of the past two days I need to remove:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/odf/tags/odftoolkit-0.6.2-incubating/
and
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/odf/tags/odftoolkit-0.6.3-incubating/
Does anyone know how to do this?
Aside of the missing ZIP, I am missing the Maven artifacts incluging an RC1.
I have already logged into the Nexus repository manager and closed the
staging repo, as described in our guide
<http://incubator.apache.org/odftoolkit/odftoolkit-release-guide.html> on
IV 4.
Shouldn't the RC show up in one of the Maven groups:
https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/
like
https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/snapshots/org/apache/odftoolkit/
Finally, I would like to add a new page for our release at:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ODFTOOLKIT/releases
Does a comitter need additional write access here?
I plan to put the missing information in our documentation afterwards
including suggest of improvements to John's guide.
Thankful for any help!

Re: Questions regarding release handling & infrastructure problem
Posted by "John D. Ament" <jo...@apache.org>.
Releases should get staged on https://dist.apache.org/repos/
dist/dev/incubator
Take a look at http://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#upload-ci just
replace "dist/release" with "dist/dev"
I can update the incubator guides to clarify this.
