Introduction

This document lists the steps necessary to perform a standard release of the Fedora repository software. Each release may include additional steps not included in this outline, particularly as new projects are developed.

...

• Retrieve a clean checkout of the release branch
• Build the release branch (with JDK 1.5) 'ant release -Drelease=true'
• Log in to SourceForge and go to the Fedora project
  • Go to Project Admin -> Downloads
  • Select to Add Release on Fedora
  • Enter release number, create package
  • Paste the URL for release notes in 'paste notes' section - then Submit/Release
  • Click on URL for 'upload new files' for upload directions.
  • Upload all files in the release branch /dist/release directory using web upload (https://frs.sourceforge.net/webupload) - should be 4 files
  • Go back to edit release page and files should be listed under 'Step 2: Add Files' section
  • Select all files - select Update
  • Set all files to platform independent, select file type. Select Update for each.
  • Go to Download -> Browse All Files and download the files under your new release (that you just put up) to make sure they were uploaded correctly
• Check the MD5 checksum values of each downloaded file (use the md5sum tool)
• Do an install of the Fedora server using the downloaded installer
• Update the file links when clicking on the Download button on SourceForge to point to the newly released files

Migration Utilities

• Retrieve a clean checkout of utilities/trunk
• Build the utilities/trunk using 'ant dist'
• Move the content of the dist/ directory to the root directory and run 'ant clean'
• Copy everything in the utilities/trunk directory into a directory called fedora-migration-{release number} and zip it as fedora-migration-{release-number}.zip
• Use the md5sum tool to create an md5 hash of the zip, copying the hash value into a file called fedora-migration-{release-number}.zip.md5
• Upload the zip and md5 files to sourceforge as outlined in the Fedora release section above
• In SourceForge, go to Admin -> File Releases, select to edit the existing project (that you just made) and add the files. Set file types as before.
• Download the files once they are available in the Download -> Browse All Files section and verify the MD5 sum

Journaling RMI Receiver

• Build zip file containing executable jar and readme doc from Fedora trunk with 'ant rmi-journal-receiver -Drelease=true'
• Use the md5sum tool to create an md5hash, and put it in a text file called whatever-the-jar-is-named.jar.md5
• Upload the jar and md5 to sourceforce
• In SourceForge, go to Admin -> File Releases, select to edit the existing project (that you just made) and add the files. Set file types as before.
• Download the files once they are available in the Download -> Browse All Files section and verify the MD5 sum
