PubMan INGe Release Process

This page describes how to release PubMan/INGe.

Before the release

• Download Git (You should have it already to work on imeji).Git is necessary. For Windows, we use the Windows PowerShell (available via Github client). The steps are:
• Check you are working in the release branch

git checkout release_branch
git pull

• Check that release branch is not in possible conflict state with the master branch. It might happen if somebody has made a commit in master (although that shouldn't happen)

Release PubMan / INGe

Prepare the release

Enable profiles:

• env-pure
• env-release-build

Windows:

mvn release:prepare -s [absolutepath/to/settings-inge.xml] -P env-release-build -DignoreSnaphots=true
-DupdateReleaseInfos=true -DpreparationGoals="clean install`

OR (depends on the System)

mvn release:prepare -s [absolutepath/to/settings-inge.xml] -P env-release-build -DignoreSnaphots=true
-DupdateReleaseInfos=true -DpreparationGoals="clean install"

Linux/Mac

mvn release:prepare -s [absolutepath/to/settings-inge.xml] -P env-release-build -DignoreSnaphots=true
-DupdateReleaseInfos=true -DpreparationGoals="clean install"

• For the snapshot dependencies (citation languages 1.0.1-SNAPSHOT) do following steps
  • Resolve Snapshot dependencies: yes
  • 0 - All
  • 1.0.1-SNAPSHOT

If a problem happened, do a rollback

mvn release:rollback
git tag -d tag-name //comment: rollback doesn't remove the tag, that must be removed before doing a new release:prepare
git push origin :tag-name// comment: remove the tag in remote

Perform the release

make sure your settings has server entries (including credentials) for nexus, snapshots and releases
