Hi there, I've some progress on the release part of the scripts (the branch is still https://github.com/vlsi/jmeter/tree/gradle ).
The major update now is I have a *test* SVN and Nexus servers, so even non-committers can try release procedure. Committers can try as well, and there's no harm as the scripts never publish to public servers (there's hard-coded 127.0.0.1 for now). It works as follows: 0) Install Docker, install Vagrant, ensure you have svnmucc installed 1) Clone https://github.com/vlsi/asflike-release-environment , and start it via Vagrant (e.g. ./recreate.sh). It will start two Docker images: SVN server and "Nexus" server. 2) Then you can try "releasing" JMeter: ./gradlew prepareVote --stacktrace It will stage the artifacts to SVN (you can find them at http://127.0.0.1/svn/dist/dev/jmeter/ ), and it will push the artifacts to local Nexus (in fact "stub" implementation is used which does not currently keep the artifacts) "prepareVote" will print a draft "vote" mail with relevant links, filenames and checksums. The idea is one calls "prepareVote", then posts the resulting text to dev list, and after the vote passes, one executes a task to publish the release (which is not yet complete). If you are feeling lucky, please give it a try. The next step is to deploy "preview" site somewhere, and I'm going to use a Git repository for that, so the preview site can be served via GitHub pages. Vladimir
