How to Release the CDR

prepare

Go to a cdr master folder:

cd cdr
or if no cdr folder has been cloned:
git clone git@github.com:UNC-Libraries/Carolina-Digital-Repository.git cdr
cd cdr

make sure you are on master branch and have no outgoing/incoming changes

do git pull
do git status

set the email and user name for the local git repository, if not already set

git config -l
git config user.email <your eclipse commiter email address>
git config user.name <your name>

create a local release branch (just creating it, not checking it out yet)

git branch cdr-<version>
This local branch will not be pushed to the remote repository. It is just a local branch used for this release process.

update the checked out master branch pom files to the next -SNAPSHOT version.

mvn versions:set -DnewVersion=<version+1>-SNAPSHOT -DgenerateBackupPoms=false (inserts new version into POMs)
vim pom.xml - update the cdr-version property in parent POM (updates dependencies)
git commit -s -a -m "new version <version+1>-SNAPSHOT"
git push

deploy and tag

checkout the release branch

git checkout cdr-<version>

update checked out release branch pom files to the release version.

mvn versions:set -DnewVersion=<version> -DgenerateBackupPoms=false - insert release version into POMs
vim pom.xml - update the cdr-version property in parent POM (updates dependencies)

deploy the release artifacts to Artifactory

mvn clean deploy

commit and tag your changes

git commit -s -a -m "new release <version>"
git tag <version>

promote to GitHub

push the release tag

git push origin <version>

cleanup

remove release branch if you intend to keep local git repository

git checkout master - switch back to master (you cannot delete the current branch)
git branch -D cdr-<version>
