Publish to the staging area

Update the canonical Git repository

Make a signed tag for this release candidate:

for m in ${MODULES}; do ( cd $m && git tag -s -m "Tag release ${VERSION_NAME} release candidate ${RC_NUMBER}" rel/apache-brooklyn-${VERSION_NAME}-rc${RC_NUMBER} ); done

Now push the release branch and release candidate tag:

for m in ${MODULES}; do ( cd $m && git push apache-git $VERSION_NAME && git push apache-git rel/apache-brooklyn-${VERSION_NAME}-rc${RC_NUMBER} ); done

Publish the source and binary distributions to the pre-release area

You will need to have checked out the Apache distribution Subversion repository located at https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/brooklyn. Please refer to Prerequisites for information.

In your workspace for the dist.apache.org repo, create a directory with the artifact name and version:

mkdir apache-brooklyn-${VERSION_NAME}-rc${RC_NUMBER}

Copy into this directory all of the artifacts from the previous step - -src and -bin, .tar.gz, .zip and .rpm, and all associated .md5, .sha1, .sha256 and .asc signatures. Then commit:

svn add apache-brooklyn-${VERSION_NAME}-rc${RC_NUMBER}
svn commit --username $SVN_USERNAME --no-auth-cache --message "Add apache-brooklyn-${VERSION_NAME}-rc${RC_NUMBER} to dist/dev/brooklyn"

These steps can be performed as part of the make-release-artifacts.sh script used earlier if ${APACHE_DIST_SVN_DIR} points to the appropriate subversion directory.

Close the staging repository on Apache’s Nexus server

Closing the staging repository locks it from further changes, and provides a public URL for the repository that can be used for downloading the artifacts.

Go to the Apache Nexus server at https://repository.apache.org/ and log in using the link in the top right (the credentials are the same as your Git and Jenkins credentials). Go to the “Staging Repositories” page, and tick the repository with the name starting orgapachebrooklyn. Click the Close button. Provide a description which includes the version and release candidate, e.g. Apache Brooklyn 0.10.0-rc1.
