== How to create a milestone release of EMFStore ==
 
* In ''org.eclipse.emf.emfstore.site/buckminster.properties'' set the qualifier.replacement-property to the current milestone, e.g. M945, and deactivate the generated qualifier.replacement as shown below:
 
<source lang="bash">
 
qualifier.replacement.*=M945
 
#qualifier.replacement.*=generator:lastModified
 
#generator.lastModified.format='v'yyyyMMdd-HHmm
 
</source>
 
* Commit with a message such as "release 0.8.9.M945" and push your changes to the emfstore.core repository.
 
* Wait for the hudson job to recognize these changes (currently <= 15 mintes) and build. https://hudson.eclipse.org/hudson/job/emf-emfstore-integration/
 
* Download the build artifact site.p2 as a zip-file from the build that was triggered by your commit (look for your commit message).
 
* Using scp (or WinScp) login with your Eclipse commiter account at '''dev.eclipse.org''', and move the content of ''/home/data/httpd/download.eclipse.org/emf-store/milestones/latest'' to ''/home/data/httpd/download.eclipse.org/emf-store/milestones/archive'' into a new subfolder named after the version, e.g. 0.8.9.M944, if it does not yet exist. You might have to download and re-upload if the server does now allow you to move files.
 
* Upload the unpacked zip-file and the zip-file itself to ''/home/data/httpd/download.eclipse.org/emf-store/milestones/latest''
 
* Change the permissions of all directories you touched to rwxrwsr-x in order to allow your group to modify the content later.
 
* Verify that you can install EMFStore and ECP from the updated update-site by following these instructions: http://www.eclipse.org/emfstore/download.php
 
* Switch back the relase to the continuous integration versioning scheme
 
<source lang="bash">
 
#qualifier.replacement.*=M945
 
qualifier.replacement.*=generator:lastModified
 
generator.lastModified.format='v'yyyyMMdd-HHmm
 
</source>
 
  
== How to create a final release of EMFStore ==
 
To release a final version, you need to replace the version numbers manually and drop the qualifier:
 
* Increase the version milestone number globally for all MANIFEST.MF and features.xml files in all repositories, e.g. if you currently have version 0.8.9.qualifier in, your workspace you would end up with 0.9.0.
 
* Proceed with hudson and the upload of the build, but use the directory ''latest'' instead of ''milestones''
 
* Switch back the relase to the continuous integration versioning scheme by adding the qualifier to the release version. For example, if you currently have version 0.9.0 in your workspace, you would end up with 0.9.0.qualifier.
 
 
== For all releases ==
 
* Commit and push.
 
* Add the archived the website: http://www.eclipse.org/emfstore/download.php
 
* Tweet about the new release, use the hashtag #emfstore :)
 
 
== Unresolved issues ==
 
Currently, there is still a known bug that prevents hudson from building the repository if there are no new changes since the last build. In this case the build will fail with the message "Nothing to do".
 
Therefore, try not to build manually but do a dummy commit to trigger the build.
