---------------------------------
Summary: Improve Release Scripts
Key: BEAM-6795
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-6795
Project: Beam
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: build-system
Reporter: Ahmet Altay
- Scripts use sudo to install binaries. Could be improved by local
installations, or perhaps using a container for build the release.
- Scripts make changes to bashrc file (e.g. alias hub to git), these could be
avoided. Even though scripts attempt make a backup file, it is easy to override
them if the script is cancelled.
- There are too many yes/no questions, configuration questions for validations.
They are not set and forget requires attention. (Possible solutions: use
command line arguments)
- Once script fails at any step (e.g. invalid password at a step) it fails
without giving a second chance and requires re-running from the top. (Posssible
idea: use breadcrumbs to continue the script for its last known location.)
- Signing with GPG is not friendly when used from a remote terminal. Has modal
dialogs and does not interact well with gradle.
