= JRuby release preparation = * Make sure a release has no blockers (tests in later steps are good at shagging issues out) * Preliminary testing ** Try and determine if we break any common extensions (jruby-rack, ar-jdbc, joni, jsr233 impl, ...) ** Create a test dist file *** Verify bin works *** Verify src with 'ant test' and 'ant spec' *** Install a gem or two * Create new branch [Only for RC1] ** grb create jruby-1_5 * [branch] Update default.build.properties to reflect new version [1.5.0.RC1] * [branch] Update maven poms: jruby -S rake maven:updatepoms VERSION={newversion} * [master] Update default.build.properties to reflect next version [ -> 1.6.0.dev] * [master] Update maven poms: jruby -S rake maven:updatepoms VERSION={newversion} * Make tag using git tag: '''git tag X.Y'; git push --tags'' * Check out clean clone of release branch: cd .. && rm -rf release && git clone jruby release && cd release (for example) * Set your java version to Java 5 for building the release. * If you use rvm then 'rvm use system' to prevent gem accident [http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-5231 JRUBY-5231] * Run '''ant dist''' to generate source and binary distribution files, jruby-complete jar, installers, jruby-jars gem, and MD5/SHA checksum files. * Make 'ant test' runs on Linux, MacOS, and Windows with produced source distribution * Verify common tasks as extra sanity check (Windows + one other system) [with binary distro -- try some with .zip dist and some with .tar.gz dist]: ** jruby samples/swing2.rb ** jruby -S jirb ** install rails + ar-jdbc *** setup simple web app and exercise it *** install and run goldberg (actually any more sophisticated app you know works) * Upload dist files, jruby-complete.jar, jruby-jars gem and MD5 files to S3: https://jruby.org.s3.amazonaws.com/downloads/{version} * Release jruby-jars gem: gem push dist/jruby-jars-{VERSION}.gem * mvn deploy -DupdateReleaseInfo=true at the root of the project to build and deploy all maven artifacts * Add news item to www.jruby.org page * Update MainPage on JRuby wiki pointing to new binary * Update Ruby Application Archive * Close all resolved bugs associated with the release in JIRA * Release the version in JIRA * Send emails to dev@jruby.codehaus.org, user@jruby.codehaus.org, ruby-talk@ruby-lang.org (plus any thing else you may find useful -- internal lists, etc...) * Update wikipedia entry * Send out to all known packagers [[JRubyDistributions]]
