Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Tomcat Wiki" for change notification.
The "ReleaseProcess" page has been changed by markt: https://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/ReleaseProcess Comment: Start release notes. Needs more work. New page: = Apache Tomcat Release Process = == Introduction == This is written primarily for Apache Tomcat release managers although it may also be of interest to anyone looking to validate and/or replicate the release process. This page uses Tomcat 7 as an example but the same process applies to later versions as well. Note that earlier versions have a slightly different, more complex release process. == Pre-requisites == * A subversion client installed and on your path * Apache Ant installed and on your path (see BUILDING.txt in the root of the svn repo for version requirements) * The latest release of the minimum Java version that the Tomcat version runs on installed and on your path * The ability to run Windows binaries (to build the Windows installer) * A reasonable internet connection (you will need to upload ~100MB) == Create the tag == The aim is to create a copy of the current trunk but without the "-dev" appended to the end of the version number. * Perform an svn checkout of tc7.0.x/trunk (e.g. to 7.0.x-release) * Edit 7.0.x-release/build.properties to remove the "-dev" from the version number {{{ version.suffix= }}} * svn cp . https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/tc7.0.x/tags/TOMCAT_7_0_XX * Check the diff mailed to the dev list I found it simplest to keep this checkout with the modified build.properties.default and just do an svn up prior to each tag. I only used the checkout for tagging to ensure no other edits found their way into the tag. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
