JRuby release preparation

  • Make sure a release has no blockers (tests in later steps are good at shagging issues out)
  • Try and determine if we break any common extensions (goldspike, ar-jdbc, joni, jsr233 impl, ...)
  • Update build-config.xml to reflect new version
  • Update the version.jruby property in src/org/jruby/jruby.properties to reflect new version
    • Example: 1.1.3RC1"
  • Check out svn.codehaus.org/jruby/trunk/updatepoms.rb (curl it)
    • run from jruby source tree root with new version (e.g. ../updatepoms.rb 1.1RC3)
  • Make tag using svn copy (e.g. svn copy https://svn.codehaus.org/jruby/trunk/jruby https://svn.codehaus.org/jruby/tags/jruby-1_1b2)
  • Check out new tag
  • Set your java version to Java 1.4 for 1.0 branch and Java 5 for trunk.
  • Run 'ant dist' to generate source and binary distribution files.
  • Make 'ant test' runs on Linux, MacOS, and Windows (Solaris is fine since our CI system is a Solaris boxen) with produced source distribution
  • Verify common tasks as extra sanity check (Windows + one other system) [with binary distro -- try some with .zip dist and some with .tar.gz dist]:
    • jruby samples/swing2.rb
    • jruby -S jirb
    • install rails + ar-jdbc
      • setup simple web app and exercise it
      • install and run goldberg (actually any more sophisticated app you know works)
  • Upload dist files to https://dav.codehaus.org/dist/jruby
  • Build maven artifacts
  • Add news item to www.jruby.org page (need to get to confluence editing page for this -- xircles is easy way there if you don't have bookmark)
  • Update MainPage on JRuby wiki pointing to new binary
  • Update Ruby Application Archive
  • Close all resolved bugs associated with the release in JIRA
  • Release the version in JIRA
  • Send emails to dev@jruby.codehaus.org, user@jruby.codehaus.org, ruby-talk@ruby-lang.org (plus any thing else you may find useful -- internal lists, etc...)
  • if new release is final then also update version.jruby property in src/org/jruby/jruby.properties in trunk to reflect new dev version.
    • Example: 1.1.4-dev
