Hi all, To help with validating releases, I would like the project to have a documented list of common release validation steps that can be referenced in the VOTE email.
Here's a draft of a guide for the 2.1.0 release. Please feel free to suggest changes to it. Perhaps we can make the finished version a page on the OpenNLP website. And just a reminder, everyone is welcome to vote. Only PMC votes are binding, but everyone's validating of the release is super beneficial to the community. Thanks, Jeff # Download the artifacts. wget https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapacheopennlp-1030/org/apache/opennlp/opennlp-distr/2.1.0/opennlp-distr-2.1.0-bin.zip.asc wget https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapacheopennlp-1030/org/apache/opennlp/opennlp-distr/2.1.0/opennlp-distr-2.1.0-bin.zip # Download the latest KEYS file: wget https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/opennlp/KEYS # Import the keys file: gpg --import KEYS # Verify the signature of the downloaded zip file. gpg --verify -v opennlp-distr-2.1.0-bin.zip.asc # Next, unzip the archive file and verify the contents of the LICENSE, NOTICE, and README.md files. unzip opennlp-distr-2.1.0-bin.zip # Clone the repository. git clone https://github.com/apache/opennlp.git # Change to the release tag mentioned in the VOTE email. cd opennlp && git checkout opennlp-2.1.0 # Build and run the unit tests. mvn clean package # Send a reply to the VOTE thread indicating a +1, 0, -1.
