svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/struts/maven/trunk/ struts-master
Apply needed changes, in most cases it will be upgrade to latest Apache Parent POM, eg. from 9 to 10
commit the change
Enter pom folder (cd pom) and tag the release by using the "release:prepare" goal of Maven:
mvn release:prepare -Dusername=yourSvnUsername -Dpassword=yourSvnPassword -DautoVersionSubmodules=true
For a dry run, add '-DdryRun=true'. If you do a dry run, use 'mvn release:clean' to clean up after you have looked at the output.
When prompted for the SCM tag name, follow this pattern: STRUTS_MASTER_[PATCH_VERSION]
For some reason, when using svn client 1.5, the release plugin might fail to tag the release, if it fails, run:
svn up -r head
mvn release:prepare -Dresume
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-release-plugin:2.0-beta-7:prepare (default-cli) on project struts2-parent: Unable to tag SCM [ERROR] Provider message: [ERROR] The svn tag command failed. [ERROR] Command output: [ERROR] svn: Commit failed (details follow): [ERROR] svn: No such revision 1223030
If you get the error message above, try to re-run mvn release:prepare -Dusername=yourSvnUsername -Dpassword=yourSvnPassword -DautoVersionSubmodules=true command again, -Dresume flag is set to true by default and the plugin will resume the release process from where it failed before.
This step will (more information):
mvn release:perform -Dusername=yourSvnUsername
This step will (more information):
After this step the artifacts will be hosted by Nexus
If you need to run perform again, (or in a different box), do:
svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/struts/struts2/tags/$VERSION cd $VERSION mvn deploy site-deploy --no-plugin-updates -DperformRelease=true
Next, log in to Nexus and close staging repository.
Send a short e-mail to dev@struts.a.o informing about the new packages and to give people enough time to test the distribution (actual bits). Wait around a week before posting Vote. If no show-stoppers reported, start a vote thread for build quality designation.
The new build is available from staging repository -> https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/staging/org/apache/struts/struts-master/\[PATCH_VERSION\]/
Post a release/quality vote to the dev list (and only the dev list). The example mail is on Sample Announcements page.
If the vote result is for an ASF release (i.e. not test build), update site, announce. If the vote result is for GA, push to central.
Log in again to Nexus and release the repository, it will be automatically replicated across Maven Repositories
See Releasing a Maven-based project for further details.
Wait 24 hours before proceeding.
We leave this as the last step, once the artifacts have had time to sync up on the mirrors. Target it to: user@struts.a.o and announcements@struts.a.o, samples are available at Sample announcements page
