Revision as of 12:18, 16 April 2018

For each WTP release, there are a few bookkeeping tasks unrelated to planning, development, and building, that also need tending to.

They should be recorded here so they're not forgotten. This document is a Draft.

Maintenance branch created and wtp-releng@ list notified. NOTE After Photon, this step may no longer be required if all development occurs in master only
New Help for Old Friends page created, if required

R-build GA'd on http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/downloads/, and email sent out declaring it
Composite site updated via these steps
Marketplace listing version created/updated for these 3 listings (contact Nitin D. if you want edit privileges, but try to keep the mandatory features to a minimum)
WTP_FAQ installation instructions updated (add versions/numbers/update sites)

Add new versions / remove old versions from: /shared/webtools/committers/buildbranches.php
Add new versions / remove old versions from: /home/data/httpd/download.eclipse.org/webtools/downloads/buildBranches.php
Move old releases from download.eclipse.org to archive.eclipse.org. If you don't have permission, open a bug.
Clean out old committer builds from http://build.eclipse.org/webtools/committers/

Each project lead should perform these tasks for every release.
