Hi gang!
I'm wondering whether I should invest some time into automating most of our release process, how much I should automate, and how I should do it.
I think I want something that: * other people can use * other people can maintain * improves productivity * automates everything but the entry of the relevant passwords * can be "stepped through" in some kind of interactive mode so you can manually check the results of each step * can interact with svn * can interact with www.apache.org/dist * can interact with maven properly and read the maven.xml file * can send e-mail
I'm thinking of writing some ruby or python scripts. Does anyone else know those languages? I think the only alternatives are either bash or bash embedded into ant/maven <exec/> targets. There's a few things we need (svn, ssh/scp, pgp) that are just not easy to do from java, and hence, ant/maven.
Does anyone have any useful scripts lying around for things like tagging svn, generating md5 and .asc files, interacting with www.apache.org/dist, etc?
cheers,
-LSD
