Hi everyone, I started doing my very first release here at Apache and walked through many pages of documentation in the past two days. To be honest, somehow I was missing some kind of short description to do a release like painting by numbers. :) In the end, I realized that much of such a short release description I desired can be taken from our wiki release guide, which is still mostly valid: http://incubator.apache.org/odftoolkit/odftoolkit-release-guide.html I will update our Wiki after the release and come back with suggestions for improvement on the incubation pages to John.
Our release candidate is ready as source directory: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/odf/tags/odftoolkit-0.6.2-incubating-RC1/ but somehow I am missing the ZIP version, I got on my disc on the Apache server. Do I need to use 'svn cp? Does anybody know were this is described in the documentation? BTW as result from my trial and error of the past two days I need to remove: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/odf/tags/odftoolkit-0.6.2-incubating/ and https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/odf/tags/odftoolkit-0.6.3-incubating/ Does anyone know how to do this? Aside of the missing ZIP, I am missing the Maven artifacts incluging an RC1. I have already logged into the Nexus repository manager and closed the staging repo, as described in our guide <http://incubator.apache.org/odftoolkit/odftoolkit-release-guide.html> on IV 4. Shouldn't the RC show up in one of the Maven groups: https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/ like https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/snapshots/org/apache/odftoolkit/ Finally, I would like to add a new page for our release at: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ODFTOOLKIT/releases Does a comitter need additional write access here? I plan to put the missing information in our documentation afterwards including suggest of improvements to John's guide. Thankful for any help! Svante 2017-02-02 15:07 GMT+01:00 John D.
