How to do a mod_jk 1.2 Release ============================== Check out a clean copy of tomcat/connectors from subversion to make sure you don't have any lingering configure or build files. This will make sure that the source distribution created is clean. We assume, that you checked out http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/jk/trunk to a directory named mod_jk. All further path names will be relative to this directory. If you haven't already, add your public PGP key to KEYS. Add a preliminary note about the new release to the docs -------------------------------------------------------- Candidate pages are: xdocs/index.xml xdocs/news/.xml We can't add a final release date though. Update version numbers as needed -------------------------------- Do a find for all the docs which include the previous version string and replace it with the new version. These are the docs I found which had to be updated: native/iis/README native/netscape/README xdocs/index.xml xdocs/news/.xml tools/dist/binaries/windows/README.html Check version numbers in the files that are listed in the section "Update source for next version" below: native/STATUS.txt native/configure.ac native/common/jk_version.h xdocs/miscellaneous/changelog.xml In native/STATUS.txt the current version stays labelled as "in development" during release. It is updated with release date after release process is completed. Update the JK_VERISRELEASE define in native/common/jk_version.h, here is a svn diff that shows what I changed: Index: native/common/jk_version.h =================================================================== --- native/common/jk_version.h (revision 417260) +++ native/common/jk_version.h (working copy) @@ -32,7 +32,7 @@ #define JK_VERBETA 0 #define JK_BETASTRING "0" /* set JK_VERISRELEASE to 1 when release (do not forget to commit!) */ -#define JK_VERISRELEASE 0 +#define JK_VERISRELEASE 1 #define JK_VERRC 0 #define JK_RCSTRING "0" After updating revision numbers, commit your changes to subversion. Tag and branch tomcat-connectors in subversion ---------------------------------------------- Use the pattern below for branching and tagging the tomcat-connectors directory. TAG=JK_{MAJOR_REVISION}_{MINOR_REVISION}_{RELEASE} svn copy \ https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/jk/trunk/ \ https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/jk/tags/TAG/ Here is an example for mod_jk 1.2.29 svn copy \ https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/jk/trunk/ \ https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/jk/tags/JK_1.2.29/ Build the mod_jk 1.2 documentation ---------------------------------- cd xdocs ant After checking the documentation carefully (produced in build/docs), see https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/tomcat/site/trunk/README.txt?view=markup for instructions on how to deploy the site docs. Create the new source distribution ---------------------------------- A tool named jkrelease.sh in the directory tools creates a release tarball and a zip including signature files. Upload source distribution and documentation to www.apache.org ------------------------------------------------------------------- First update the KEYS on the server if you have added a new pgp key. scp KEYS to the /www/www.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-connectors directory on the people.apache.org server. scp tomcat-connectors-1.2.29-src.tar.gz* to /www/www.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-connectors/jk/source scp tomcat-connectors-1.2.29-src.zip* to /www/www.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-connectors/jk/source ssh to people.apache.org and cd to the /www/www.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-connectors/jk directory. Modify README.html and update it to the current version. Remove the symlinks for current if present and replace them with a soft link to the new source distribution files. ln -s source/tomcat-connectors-1.2.29-src.tar.gz tomcat-connectors-src-current.tar.gz ln -s source/tomcat-connectors-1.2.29-src.tar.gz.asc tomcat-connectors-src-current.tar.gz.asc ln -s source/tomcat-connectors-1.2.29-src.tar.zip tomcat-connectors-src-current.zip ln -s source/tomcat-connectors-1.2.29-src.zip.asc tomcat-connectors-src-current.zip.asc Make sure the group write bit is set on all files and directories in the jk directory. chmod -R g+w /www/www.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-connectors/jk Build binaries and upload distributions to www.apache.org -------------------------------------------------------------- Build mod_jk for a specific web server and OS. Package it as appropriate for the OS and sign the archive using PGP. Please include the ASF License, the generated docs, and the tools. Please name the distribution as follows: tomcat-connectors-{version}-{os-version-cpu}-{web server-version}.(tar.gz|zip) scp the binary distribution and pgp signature file to the appropriate binaries/{os} directory. Make sure the group write bit is on for all files you upload. Update source for next version ------------------------------ native/STATUS.txt: Add release date for released version and status "in development" for new version. native/configure.ac: Update version in AC_INIT macro. native/common/jk_version.h: Update variables JK_VERMAJOR, JK_VERMINOR, JK_VERFIX, JK_VERSTRING, and JK_VERISRELEASE. native/iis/installer/isapi-redirector-win32-msi.ism: Update ProductVersion. xdocs/miscellaneous/changelog.xml: Start a new section for the new version. Remove old release distributions from www.apache.org ---------------------------------------------------- Verify that the old versions of the source and binary distributions are available at /www/archive.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-connectors/jk . Copy old source distributions and binaries as needed, then remove the old source and binary distributions. Arrange the downloads_tomcat-connectors.cgi ------------------------------------------- Check tomcat-site out: svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/site site-tomcat Arrange the file: xdocs/download-connectors.xml, updating all occurrences of the version number to the just released version. Update xdocs/index.xml to reflect the new release of Tomcat Connectors. Run ant from the site-tomcat directory to regenerate the corresponding html file: docs/site/download-connectors.html Commit it after checking carefully the changes. Connect to people.apache.org and update the tomcat.apache.org site image, the site tomcat.apache.org should reflect the change after a while: cd /x1/www/tomcat.apache.org/site/downloads svn update downloads_tomcat-connectors.html Announcements ------------- The release distribution directories are mirrored so that the releases can be downloaded from multiple sites. Please wait 24 hours before sending out the announcement so that the mirrors get a chance to get the new release distributions. Send an email announcement to announce@tomcat.apache.org, users@tomcat.apache.org, dev@tomcat.apache.org and announce@apache.org.
