Cutting a Clojure Release

Clojure

1. your key must be installed on build.clojure.org!
2. git checkout onto the correct branch
3. create/edit changes.txt
4. run ./release.sh (follow instructions for args)
5. if build succeded:
   1. upload the ZIP package to http://github.com/clojure/clojure/downloads
   2. update the download links at http://clojure.org
   3. git push your changes
6. if build failed:
   1. clean up any messes as necessary (locally and on build.clojure.org)

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.
