------------------------------------------------
Summary: Optimize release process
Key: UIMA-6335
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-6335
Project: UIMA
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Richard Eckart de Castilho
The release checklist is pretty long. To facilitate releases, we should see
what can be optimized / cut.
Ideas:
- Drop (most) binary ZIP releases and only offer source, Maven and for the Java
SDK / Ruta the Eclipse update site:
-- Rationale: The binary ZIPs use separate LICENSE/NOTICE files which need to
be checked/maintained - and this cannot be easily done automatically
- Integrate RELEASE_NOTES.html into the README file
-- Rationale: one less file to update
- Have a README.md or README.asciidoc file instead of a plain text file
-- Rationale: looks better in GitHub
- Reduce instances of the version string in the README file
-- Rationale: less chance to miss a version string when preparing a release
