Re: ClickIDE release manager

[Bob Schellink]

Hi Naoki,

Before voting you'll need at least a RSA 4096 bit KEY and upload it to a public key server such as 
pgp.mit.edu.

See the first paragraph here:

  http://www.apache.org/dev/release-signing.html

So I suggest you create a new RSA 4096 bit key and use that for signing releases. That key also 
needs to be uploaded to a public key server such as 'pgp.mit.edu'.

Here are the steps outlining how to create and sign the release:

1. Grab the latest version of GPG here: http://www.gnupg.org/ (you'll need at 
least version 2.0.12)

2. Change your config to avoid SHA-1: 
http://www.apache.org/dev/openpgp.html#key-prefs

3. Generate a RSA 4096 key, and a revocation certificate -> 
http://www.apache.org/dev/openpgp.html#key-gen-generate-key

4. Upload the key to a public server: gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --send-keys 
<YOUR-KEY>

5. Create and add an ascii armored key to the KEYS file in Click SVN[1]:

  generate an ascii armored key and add to the KEYS file: 
http://www.apache.org/dev/openpgp.html#export-option-output

Currently the Click KEYS file only contain one key. See the Velocity KEYS file for an example of 
having multiple keys in the KEYS file:

  http://www.apache.org/dist/velocity/KEYS


Setting up the keys is a bit of pain the first time, so let me know if you need 
help with these steps.

kind regards

bob

Hi Bob,

I completed preparing the release of the ClickIDE 2.1.0.0.
Release files are below:
http://people.apache.org/~takezoe/click/clickide/2.1.0.0/

Can we start the vote to release ClickIDE 2.1.0.0?

Sorry Naoki, it is indeed 2.1.0.0.

Let me know when the release is feature complete and I'll build and publish
the zip and start the vote.

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your help.

I'm readying ClickIDE 2.1.0.0 which supports Apache Click 2.1.0.
Should I release it as ClickIDE 2.0.0.0 ?

Hi Naoki,

Since we haven't had a release of ClickIDE since joining the ASF, I'll
volunteer to be the release manager for ClickIDE 2.0.0.0. The release
procedure is a bit complex and I'd like to capture all the necessary
steps
in this document:

  http://click.apache.org/docs/developer-guide/releasing-subprojects.html

Let me know when you think we can push out this release.

kind regards

bob
