Script steps in ReleaseGuide
----------------------------
Key: LUCY-151
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCY-151
Project: Lucy
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Marvin Humphrey
Priority: Minor
Lucy's [ReleaseGuide wiki page|http://wiki.apache.org/lucy/ReleaseGuide]
specifies a number of commands for the Release Manager to execute, but because
these commands often contain emebedded version numbers and other variables,
the RM cannot simply copy and paste. Following the steps in the ReleaseGuide
is therefore painstaking and error prone.
To improve the situation, we should supply a script in trunk/devel/bin/,
working name "release_steps", which takes mandatory -\-version and
-\-apache_id command line arguments and prints the necessary sequence of
commands to stdout. Since "svn commit" commands are included, it is too
dangerous to run the commands automatically within the script; instead, they
should be provided to the RM to inspect, modify if desired, and then run
manually.
