 nt"></a></h2><p>Releasing a Maven component is much the same as any other Maven project. The following guide walks through most of the steps:</p><ul><li><a href="./maven-project-release-procedure.html"> Maven Project Common Release procedure</a></li></ul><p>Note that components have particular conventions for deploying the project site. When encountered in the release process above, perform the following steps:</p><div class="section"><h3>Staging the latest documentation<a name="Staging_the_latest_documentation"></a></h3><p>Once the release is prepared, but before the release vote, the site needs to be staged.</p><p>The shared component parent POM is configured to stage the documentation in a &quot;versioned&quot; directory such as <tt>/shared/maven-XXX-Y.Z</tt>.</p><ol style="list-style-type: decimal"><li>Stage the documentation for the current release version (not the new snapshot).<div class="source"><pre>cd target/checkout
+mvn site site:stage-deploy -Preporting</pre></div><p><b>Note:</b> It requires Maven 2.1.0 or higher to successfully deploy to <tt>people.apache.org</tt> via SSH. Older Maven versions will fail due to <tt>com.jcraft.jsch.JSchException: Algorithm negotiation fail</tt>.</p><p><b>Note:</b> You should verify the deployment of the site on the Maven website (you need to wait <a class="externalLink" href="http://www.apache.org/dev/project-site.html">the sync</a>).</p><div class="source"><pre>http://maven.apache.org/shared/maven-XXX-Y.Z/</pre></div><p>Some developers have <a class="externalLink" href="http://www.nabble.com/site%3Astage-deploy-asks-for-a-password--tt15582961s177.html"> reported problems</a> with the <tt>site:stage-deploy</tt> goal. See the discussion of settings.xml below for one possible solution. If that doesn't work, you can stage the site locally and upload it manually:</p><div class="source"><pre>mvn site site:stage -Preporting
+scp -r target/staging/people.apache.org/www/maven.apache.org/shared/maven-XXX YOUR_APACHE_USERNAME@people.apache.org:/www/maven.apache.org/shared/maven-XXX-Y.Z</pre></div></li><li>Verify/change folder permissions to 0775 and files permissions to 0664. Log on to <tt>people.apache.org</tt> and change to the directory above the staging directory. Then run these commands:<div class="source"><pre>cd /www/maven.apache.org/shared
+find . -type d -exec chmod a+rx,g+w {} \;
+find . -type f -exec chmod 664 {} \;</pre></div></li></ol></div><div class="section"><h3>Deploying the release website<a name="Deploying_the_release_website"></a></h3><p>After the release has passed, the site needs to be uploaded.</p><p><b>Note:</b> Be sure to generate and deploy the site using the same version of the release. Typically, you need to check out the tag (or go to <tt>target/checkout</tt>)</p><p>You will need to have your people.apache.org credentials in your settings.xml, and you may have to explicitly specify the server ID on the command line to persuade maven to use them. </p><p>Due to an apparent problem with the site plugin, passwords don't work reliably for this purpose. SSH keys do. As per the doc for settings.xml, Maven ignores a private key in settings.xml if it sees a password. So, to deploy a site, you should make sure that your settings.xml contains something like:</p><div class="source"><pre>    &lt;server&gt;
+      &lt;id&gt;apache.website&lt;/id&gt;
+      &lt;username&gt;mortimerqsnerd&lt;/username&gt;
+      &lt;privateKey&gt;${user.home}/.ssh/id_rsa&lt;/privateKey&gt;
+    &lt;/server&gt;</pre></div><div class="source"><pre>cd target/checkout
+mvn site-deploy -Preporting -DstagingRepositoryId=apache.website</pre></div><p><b>Note:</b> You can not just copy the documentation from the staging site above into the released documentation as the links are not identical. See the email thread <a class="externalLink" href="http://www.nabble.com/forum/ViewPost.jtp?post=24018250&amp;framed=y">http://www.nabble.com/forum/ViewPost.jtp?post=24018250&amp;framed=y</a></p><p>To review the site, wait for the files to arrive at</p><div class="source"><pre>http://maven.apache.org/shared/maven-XXX/</pre></div><p>The wait is necessary to allow the site to be <a class="externalLink" href="http://www.apache.org/dev/project-site.html">rsync'ed into production</a>.</p></div><div class="section"><h3>Updating the Maven site<a name="Updating_the_Maven_site"></a></h3><p>Check out the maven site project from <tt>https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/site/trunk</tt> or pull the latest changes if already checked out.</p><p>Update the version numb
 er for the component on the <tt>src/site/apt/shared/index.apt</tt> page.</p><p>Commit your changes and then deploy the site.</p><div class="source"><pre>mvn clean site-deploy</pre></div></div></div>

Hint: in the diff link, the value for the <tt>r2</tt> parameter is easily found by following the previous version's link
  and copying revision number.</li></ol><p>Once these modifications are done, you can follow standard staging steps taking care to use the <tt>site-pom.xml</tt> POM, with <tt>mvn -f site-pom.xml ...</tt> command, each time the parent POM's site is generated.</p></div><div class="section"><h3>Staging the latest documentation<a name="Staging_the_latest_documentation"></a></h3><p>Once the release is prepared, but before the release vote, the site needs to be staged.</p><p>The parent POMs are configured to stage the documentation in a &quot;versioned&quot; directory such as <tt>/pom/XXX-Y</tt>.</p><ol style="list-style-type: decimal"><li>Stage the documentation for the current release version (not the new snapshot).<div class="source"><pre>cd target/checkout

+   (2) DSA (sign only)
+   (5) RSA (sign only)
+Your selection? 1
+DSA keypair will have 1024 bits.
+ELG-E keys may be between 1024 and 4096 bits long.
+What keysize do you want? (2048) 2048
+Requested keysize is 2048 bits
+Please specify how long the key should be valid.
+         0 = key does not expire
+      &lt;n&gt;  = key expires in n days

+Key is valid for? (0) 0
+Key does not expire at all
+Is this correct? (y/N) y
+
+You need a user ID to identify your key; the software constructs the user ID
+from the Real Name, Comment and Email Address in this form:
+    &quot;Heinrich Heine (Der Dichter) &lt;heinrichh@duesseldorf.de&gt;&quot;

+Change (N)ame, (C)omment, (E)mail or (O)kay/(Q)uit? O
+You need a Passphrase to protect your secret key.
+
+You don't want a passphrase - this is probably a *bad* idea!
+I will do it anyway.  You can change your passphrase at any time,
+using this program with the option &quot;--edit-key&quot;.
+
+We need to generate a lot of random bytes. It is a good idea to perform
+some other action (type on the keyboard, move the mouse, utilize the
+disks) during the prime generation; this gives the random number
+generator a better chance to gain enough entropy.
