I think a Docker image to perform releases is a good idea to pilot. It allows for a repeatable solution that could be used to be easily spun up/down to create the releases with all of the necessary tooling already in place (which has been a challenge from what I can ascertain in the past). Depending on how complex and automated the team wanted to take a docker strategy, the entire purpose of the container could be to perform a release which could be driven by a script which itself is driven by environment parameters (branch to build and any other configurations to make it as flexible as possible).
I’d be up to help in that effort, Andy -- Andrew Block On July 16, 2015 at 9:55:55 AM, Daniel Kulp (dk...@apache.org) wrote: Out of curiosity, what would the docker image buy us? Really “mvn release:prepare; mvn release:perform” is not that hard. I think the only complexity would be the gpg setup, but that’s likely really just an issue for Windows folks, and I’m not sure how that would work with a docker image either since you certainly would NOT want any private keys burned into a docker image.
