[cle-release-team] Starting to release stuff today

Well, I assume the way he's done it in the past is to release from a release branch!

Having to set that property is pretty annoying! However it should only be altered temporarily while a new tag is being created and then immediately changed back to -SNAPSHOT waiting for the next tag in trunk. (Similar to how the maven-release-plugin does a temporary in-place change)

You'll just have to do the release *really* fast! ;) Maybe it would be better if we put it in a profile incase we're not really fast? We'd have to remember to swap the activeByDefault and the RELEASE property when doing a release though. :( How has Anthony been doing this? I've grumbled a few times in the past few days about this trying to release a local kernel using this new process.

<profiles>
  <profile>
    <id>KERNEL-SNAPSHOT</id>
    <activation>
      <property>
        <name>KERNEL-SNAPSHOT</name>
        <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
      </property>
    </activation>
    <properties>
      <sakai.kernel.version>1.3.0-SNAPSHOT</sakai.kernel.version>
    </properties>
  </profile>
  <profile>
    <id>KERNEL-RELEASE</id>
    <activation>
      <property>
        <name>KERNEL-RELEASE</name>
        <activeByDefault>false</activeByDefault>
      </property>
    </activation>
    <properties>
      <sakai.kernel.version>1.3.0-a01</sakai.kernel.version>
    </properties>
  </profile>
</profiles>

Perhaps I didn't clearly state my issue.  In order to release sakai-basic-tool out of pure-poms, I need to modify the sakai.kernel.version property (currently is 1.3.0-SNAPSHOT).  Setting that property to 1.3.0-a01 in trunk probably isn't appropriate.  And I don't really want to get in to modifying things by hand and forgetting to change them back.
Is there a better way to do this without making a release branch for it?

No indie as any Sakai-specific dependencies that are themselves not indies.

 But I need to make updates to poms for various other versions not controlled by the release plugin.  Versions of the parent and related/required modules.

So, looking down the list of modules, I'm not sure what the best way to do the releases of the indie projects really is.  Since we're not making release branches yet, I'm releasing from the trunks.  But I need to make updates to poms for various other versions not controlled by the release plugin.  Versions of the parent and related/required modules.  Seems a bit disruptive to trunk for me to do that.  Perhaps we should create release branches for all the indie modules, but not the core modules?

Or, if there's a better way to utilize jenkins right now, I'm all for that too!

That indie release plan looks really unpleasant.

Letting Jenkins do the releases might make this more pleasant. [1] Entitybroker should really be in kernel at this point too, and we also locally build both kernel and pure-poms together since you essentially can't seem to release one without the other.

The biggest problem we found locally is that API changes still get into the kernel in minor releases. We just wanted to get in new kernel fixes, but SAK-18838 has an api change to "conditions/api/ConditionProvider.java" which requires a local patch/rebuild of edu-services (if customized) and possibly other tools. Since we aren't even using conditional release, it seemed easier just to revert it.

Bummer!

I don't really know.  Anything that is an Indie release, as well as the main sakai project I suppose.
Here's the list of indie projects that Anthony put together:

What JIRA projects do you need admin privileges for besides kernel?

I'm starting to release various things today.  So far, I've just released the kernel.
Could I get cool jira super powers?  Or if not, could someone with those powers work along side me in jira so that I can add new versions for stuff as I go?  (for example, I just released kernel 1.3.0-a01, so I need that version created and then all the resolved stuff should point to that).
