I've started the finalization steps for Apache NetBeans 16-u1 release.
Thanks for leading this through, and sorry for being personally
incommunicado and not getting around to voting - I would love to claim
excessive merriment, but mainly just laid low by a virus. :-\
Get well, that's the important!
I have not felt myself alone in this release, thank you for guiding me
through! It seems we've evolved quite much, since my days.
So far:
- Created a "16-u1" tag in Git
- Moved the 16-u1 folder into the release area in subversion.
Sounds good.
Next, I'd do the following:
- do a subversion copy on ^/release/netbeans/netbeans/16-u1/nbms as
^/release/netbeans/netbeans/16/nbms/16-u1
No need for that. Just keep everything where it is. We don't want
duplicate binaries in the releases section, and keeping things clearly
separated is better (in some ways) for managing.
- Prepare a manually patched updates.xml (the gz as well) on the
NetBeans VM adding the new location of the two patched modules.
- Wait a day for the mirrors to be sync-ed
No need for that - no mirrors to sync anymore! There is instead a
download CDN service - dlcdn.a.o
If you check the .htaccess file on the VM, you'll notice we no longer
link to closer.lua but directly to dlcdn. The main download pages
still use closer.cgi, but you should see the link come up as dlcdn in
most cases - eg.
https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/netbeans/netbeans/16/netbeans-16-bin.zip
So, to make this easier, please hardcode the links in updates.xml to
https://dlcdn.apache.org/netbeans/netbeans/16-u1/nbms/extide/org-netbeans-modules-gradle.nbm
https://dlcdn.apache.org/netbeans/netbeans/16-u1/nbms/java/org-netbeans-modules-gradle-java.nbm
Could do with a better system for this, as we'll need to update the
links again when we archive. Perhaps using alternative relative links
and .htaccess. I realise your suggestion to copy under 16/nbms/ might
help there, but other downsides to that.
- Activate the patched update.xml on NetBeans VM (Keeping a backup
version)
Yes, please keep a backup in place. Also make sure the owner /
permissions ensure it's not served.
Well, I left the owner as www-data:www-data, the .htaccess takes care
that only updates.xml* is served.
Created files updates-16.xml and updates-16-u1.xml (and gz and sha512 in
the same pattern). updates.xml and others have been replaced with
symlinks pointing to the 16-u1 versions.
It seems to be working, so people will start to receive these updates on
the next update center check.
I'm sending out announcements soon.
Once again,
Thank you Neil!
And please use [RELEASES] in the email subject - helps anyone doing
subject filtering.
Best wishes,
Neil
