Robert Kowalski commented on COUCHDB-1787:
------------------------------------------
Hi Amarnath,
this is the Apache project "Apache CouchDB" - the famous Apache webserver would
be Apache Httpd. CouchDB is a Nosql database with an HTTP API. The database
core is built using Erlang, but no worries, for this issue are no Erlang skills
required!
In this issue/thread there are already a lot of informations and I think there
is everything you need to start. We already have some parts which are
automated, this could be integrated, too:
https://github.com/apache/couchdb-admin/tree/master/release
As an end result it would be nice that we have one deterministic, easy
reproducable way to create releases.

> Key: COUCHDB-1787
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1787
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Build System, Documentation
> Reporter: Dave Cottlehuber
> Labels: gsoc, gsoc2015, mentor
>
> The release process today contains a large number of manual transformation
> steps.
> Fixing this will make the release process significantly easier for release
> managers, as well as less error-prone.
> Ideally the output formats (NEWS, CHANGES in source tree, and HTML snippets
> for http://couchdb.org/ website and http://blogs.apache.org/couchdb ) can be
> auto-generated from either the .rst files in share/doc/src using sphinx's
> .versionaddded/changed tags, or potentially from commit messages if this is
> appropriate.
> CouchDB documentation is generated today from restructured text using python
> code, and rolled into the release documentation during `make distcheck`.
