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 imeji

• Prepare the release

Windows:

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 (the site deployment is not supported so far. Therefore we skip it here)

mvn release:perform -Dgoals=deploy -s [absolutepath/to/settings-inge.xml] -P env-release-build
