Cutting a Clojure Release

Clojure

1. ant distclean
2. "git checkout -b 1.2.x"
3. Modify "src/clj/clojure/version.properties"
   1. change version.qualifier to "whatever-version"
   2. change version.interim to "false"
4. "git commit -a"
5. "git tag 1.2.0-whatever-version"
6. "ant dist" to produce a ZIP release package
7. "ant -lib maven-ant-tasks.jar ci-build" to produce Maven artifacts in local repo.
8. Upload the ZIP package to http://github.com/clojure/clojure/downloads
9. Update the download links at http://clojure.org
10. Copy the Maven artifacts from local repo to build.clojure.org/releases. Your private key must be authorized for the hudson user on build.clojure.org.
    1. The remote-stable-build on the 1.2 branch automated this, but it is a copy-and-paste hack that should be refactored.

Clojure-contrib

Use "mvn deploy" to copy the Maven artifacts from local repo to build.clojure.org/releases. Some notes:

1. "mvn clean"
2. "git checkout -b 1.2.x"
3. Modify "pom.xml":
   1. change <clojure.version>1.2.0-whatever-version</clojure.version>
   2. change <version>1.2.0-whatever-version</version>
4. "git commit -a"
5. "git tag 1.2.0-whatever-version""
6. "mvn install" to install Maven artifacts in local repo.
7. "mvn assembly:assembly" to create ZIP release package in target/
8. Upload the ZIP package to http://github.com/clojure/clojure-contrib/downloads
9. Update the download links at http://clojure.org.
10. Use "mvn deploy" to copy the Maven artifacts from local repo to build.clojure.org/releases. You will need to put hudson/your-private-key path info in .m2/settings.xml on your local box.

Wish list

• In a more perfect world, the hudson user would not have login, but would have scp.
