k I'l be out later. Have a quick minute.. Going to give you the weird hack that I used to get the releases out. (I think that if we have Validate goal in the `release-profile` somewhere, there would be no need for the hack.
Wow i really wish I'd just rewritten all of this in gradle rather than hacking at the poms. Could have learned something rather than being so two thousand and late. ```1. ack '14.1<' shoulld not have any pom entries for <version>1.4</version>.(ensure im still on a snapshot) 2 mvn clean install -DskipTests -Papache-release release:prepare (when prompted set the next development iteration to 14.1-SNAPSHOT, and release candidate tag to mahout_2.11-14.1-RC5) 3. mvn clean package -DskipTests -Papache-release release:perform (fails with a ....."Basic element 'goals' must not contain child elements" error) 4. mvn validate (read that the error above could have been due to a malformed pom -even extra whitespaces. anyway Should be validated somewhere.) 5. mvn validate pom.xml (this actually deploys for some reason.. I'd imagine because the release plugin was already run, Just a guess in maven land), should be: mvn validate release:perform or `mvn validate Papache-release release:perform` also was a hail mary so maybe is totally incorrect, but this should will run the RAT plugin. ) ------------------------ artifacts have been deployed to Nexus. Log into Nexus and check.------------------------------------------- Change {scala.compat.version} to 2.12, change change ${scala.version} to 2.12.8. Replace all instances of `_2.11` with `_2.12`. (I find IntelliJ global find/replace the easiest), but e.g `sed -e (-i?) _2.11/2.12/g` (the correct, recursive command should do it, cant remember off the top of my head.). Currently, `change_scala_version.sh` is not working, same issue.. should be a quick fix. Something like: grep -rl _2.11 . | xargs sed -i 's/_2.11/_2.12/g'. Anyways you get the idea. Bump the scala version in all poms and for all modules. `ack "_2.11"` - ensure version bump. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. git commit -am "(nojira)[release] modify scala versions across the project to _2.12 for 2.12 release" 7. mvn clean install -DskipTests -Papache-release release:prepare (when prompted set the next development iteration to 14.2-SNAPSHOT, and release candidate tag to mahout_2.12-14.1-RC5) 13. mvn clean package install -DskipTests -Papache-release release:perform (fails with a ....."Basic element 'goals' must not contain child elements" error) 14. mvn validate release:perform (deploys signed artifacts to nexus nexus dsets the SHA-1 and SHA-256) 15. ack "14.1<" 16. (if 16 shows 14.1-SNAPSHOT set by release) use: mvn -Papache-release versions:set -DnewVersion=14.2-SNAPSHOT 17. find . | grep versionsBackup | xargs rm (cleanup all versions) 18. mvn -Papache-release versions:commit 19. git commit -a 20 git push origin master``` Andy's awesome hack release.
