Testing the Struts Maven 2 Release Process

Make sure that people.apache.org's DSA fingerprint is a "known host" on the machine you're going to use. Make sure that you can deploy to the repo w/ scp without a password. (public key in place on people.apache.org.) From action/core: mvn deploy (will deploy a snapshot)

Create struts/struts/action/trunk and struts/struts-action/tags in the ASF test repo

Export the latest struts-action code and import into the ASF test repo

svn export http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/struts/action/trunk struts-action
svn import struts-action https://svn.apache.org/repos/test/struts/struts-action/trunk -m "Import to practice Maven release:prepare and release:perform"

The import is r151417.

Check out a copy from the test repo:

cd ~/svn/test-repo
svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/test/struts/struts-action/trunk struts-action-test

Create cvs.apache.org/builds/struts/maven/test-repo and cvs.apache.org/builds/struts/maven/test-site

Modify the struts-action-parent pom to point to our "test repo" and "test site" locations rather than the usual snapshot repository and website locations. (r151418)

Apply patch to the Mailreader DAO test that was leaving a test-database.xml file around. (James' r392968, r151417 in the test repo)

  • clear out local Maven repo ** rm -rf $M2_REPO/org/apache/struts

  • mvn clean install (from action/trunk) ** (release:prepare fails if it can't find local snapshots) ** double check that test-database.xml does not exist (See r392968).

  • 'pwd' and double check path, 'svn info' and make really sure we're looking at the ASF test repo

  • tag the ASF test repo "BEFORE_1_3_2_RELEASE"

mvn release:prepare -DtagBase=https://svn.apache.org/repos/test/struts/struts-action/tags

** This will prompt for the version number for each pom it's going to change, and for the tag name you want to use. ** It will modify the version numbers in the poms and commit the changes.
