Eli Collins commented on HADOOP-8914: ------------------------------------- For starters we could just create a job that generates the necessary tarballs and checksums for the RM to sign and upload. > Automate release builds > ----------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-8914 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8914 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Task > Reporter: Eli Collins > > Hadoop releases are currently created manually by the RM (following > http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/HowToRelease), which means various aspects of > the build are ad hoc, eg what tool chain was used to compile the java and > native code varies from release to release. Other steps can be inconsistent > since they're done manually eg recently the checksums for an RC were > incorrect. Let's use the jenkins toolchain and create a job that automates > creating release builds so that the only manual thing about releasing is > publishing to mvn central. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
