Revision as of 07:06, 23 July 2014
This page describes the steps necessary to create releases of the Tycho project.
- Prepare the Tycho/Release Notes which should provide a quick overview of new features and bug fixes
- Steps below apply to both tycho and tycho-extras git repositories as these should normally be released together and with the same version
- Update versions using
mvn org.eclipse.tycho:tycho-versions-plugin:set-version -DnewVersion=... - Commit version change, and create a git tag tycho-<VERSION> (and tycho-extras-<VERSION> respectively) on this commit
- Update versions (same as above) to next -SNAPSHOT development version and push commit to master branch
- Make sure you have everything setup (GPG installed!) for deploying to the Nexus OSS repository, see guide
- Add your credentials for server <OSS_ID> in ~/.m2/settings.xml
- Sync to release commit and deploy to nexus staging repository:
mvn clean deploy -Prelease -DforgeReleaseId=<OSS_ID> -DforgeReleaseUrl=https://oss.sonatype.org/service/local/staging/deploy/maven2/ - Close the staging repository and announce the temporary stage URL on tycho-user@eclipse.org:
Subject: please test staged tycho <VERSION>
Tycho milestone release <VERSION> has been staged. For details of new features and bugfixes, see release notes [1].
Please help by testing the staged milestone build. To use it, change your tycho version to <VERSION> and add snippet [2] to your pom.
We plan to promote this release in one week unless major regressions are found.
Regards,
Tycho team

</pluginRepositories> - Generate site docs for both tycho and tycho-extras using mvn clean install site site:stage and check the result in to tycho homepage site docs
- After ~1 week of testing, promote the stage repository on https://oss.sonatype.org/
- Only drop the staging repository once the artifacts have reached Maven central.
- Push the release tags to git: git push origin --tags
- Browse the Tycho wiki pages to update any hardcoded tycho versions to the latest version
- Update tycho-demo projects to the latest release
- Find out who contributed to the release: git log --pretty=format:%an tycho-0.<n>..tycho-0.<n+1> | sort | uniq
- Announce the release on tycho-user@eclipse.org, tycho-dev@eclipse.org, thanking the contributors:
Subject: Tycho milestone <n> released
Tycho milestone <n> has been released and is available from maven central.
See the release notes [1] for details of enhancements and bug fixes in this release.
Thanks to
