<h3 id="choosing-a-strategy-for-the-release">Choosing a strategy for the release</h3>
<p>Even when releasing a large number of bundles, in Aries we release bundles individually. If there are dependencies
between the bundles you want to release, you have three strategies for how to release them.

* Release bundles in dependency order, updating dependencies only after releases are promoted.
* This has the advantage that trunk always builds cleanly.
* The disadvantage is that each release needs to be open for voting for at least 72 hours, so the elapsed time for a large release can be very long.
* The list may get fed up of voting on multiple vote threads, although the <a href="http://aries.apache.org/development/verifyingrelease.html">verification script</a> may help.

* Trunk will be broken, unless you back out everything which you changed to use the released version back to using the old snapshot (<em>not</em> the new snapshot created by the release plugin). Then once the release has been promoted, change everything using the old snapshot back to using the released version.
* Doing a release this way can really reduce the amount of time spent waiting for votes.
* However, getting everything right without breaking trunk can be complex.

* This is similar to the second procedure, except there's no need to patch trunk up to keep it compiling
* You will need to merge the branch across once the release has been promoted, which is extra complexity
* Doing mainline releases from branches plays havoc with git mirroring, so we promised to try and avoid doing it
