- Write access to the Akubra subversion git repository hosted at fedora-commons.org. This requires an administrator to add you to the akubra-committer LDAP groupat https://github.com/akubra/akubra.
- Write access to the org.akubraproject groupId in the snapshot and staging repositories hosted at oss.sonatype.org. If you don't already have this, you will need to:
- Sign up for a Sonatype OSS account
- Ask the previous release manager to request authorization for this account via the Akubra Project Hosting Ticket
Update Maven settings.xml
...
Make sure you're using a recent version of Maven. As of this writing, the latest was 2.2.1, and it worked fine. In particular, avoid version 2.2.0: it has a serious bug that affects deployments: MNG-4235.

Making a Snapshot Release
One Step
From a clean, up-to-date copy of trunk, run the following command:
mvn clean
javadoc:jar source:jardeploy
The snapshot will be immediately available in the public Sonatype repository: http://oss.sonatype.org/content/groups/public

Release
Update KEYS
Make sure the KEYS file at the root of the source tree has your up to date public code signing key and signatures listed. If you don't yet have a code signing key, see Creating a Code Signing Key. When you are ready, append your key with the following command:
(gpg --list-sigs
YourKeyIDYourKeyId && gpg -a --export
YourKeyIDYourKeyId) >> KEYS
Do a Dry Run
This step is not required, but performs a useful sanity check without committing any changes. From a clean, up-to-date copy of trunk, run the following command:
- mvn release:prepare -DdryRun=true
...
Stage the Release
This step will set the version declared in the project's pom.xml files, commit the changes to trunkgit, tag the release, and finally, check in another trunk commit and push andother change that increments the next development version (e.g. x.y.z-SNAPSHOT) in the pom.xml files.

Verify and Promote Staged Artifacts
- Log into http://oss.sonatype.org/ UI, click Staging in the left column, then select the staged repository on the right. It will open below. Right click on it and select Close.
- Download and test that the artifacts in staging are exactly as they should be once deployed to central.
If anything is incorrect, right click the staged repository and select "Drop". After the problem is resolved, you can re-deploy the artifacts to staging via mvn release:perform -Dtag=v0.4.0
and verify them again.
If everything looks good, right click on the repository and select "Promote". The artifacts should be synced to central within a few hours.
Upload Site to Github
The release:perform step should have created a static maven site for the release (including javadocs) in /tmp/akubra-site. This step will make that documentation available at http://akubra.github.com/akubra/

Update the Wiki
Add release notes and update all links on this page.
Note: This may fail to compile part way through the process, complaining that an internal project dependency is not met. If this occurs, don't worry. Just run the following:
- mvn install
- mvn release:prepare -Dusername=YourSVNUsername -Dpassword=YourSVNPassword
Release to Staging
- Check out the tagged release from subversion and "mvn install" it.
- Change back to trunk
- mvn release:perform -Darguments="-Dgpg.keyname=YourKeyID -Dgpg.passphrase=YourKeyPassword"
This will push all release artifacts to the staging repository.
