Building (and releasing) Apache Pony Mail¶

Release managers wanting to initiate a release of Pony Mail should follow these steps:

Assuming you wish to release version X.Y

• Create a new branch off master called X.Y (ideally, master is always releasable).
• Tarball the branch, sans the .git directory: git archive --format=tar.gz -o ~/ponymail-X.Y.tar.gz HEAD
• Create checksums of the archive (make sure your PGP key is in our KEYS file!):
• Make a checksum for the archive itself: sha256sum ponymail-X.Y.tar.gz > ponymail-X.Y.tar.gz.sha256
• Sign the archive: gpg --output ponymail-X.Y.tar.gz.asc --sign ponymail-X.Y.tar.gz OR
• Sign the checksum: gpg --output ponymail-X.Y.tar.gz.sha256.asc --sign ponymail-X.Y.tar.gz.sha256
• Push the artefacts to https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/ponymail/ via subversion
• Initate a vote on the release on dev@ponymail.a.o. To make things easier, don't bother with RC1, RC2 etc. version numbers are cheap.
• Summarize the vote on the dev list after 72 hours.
• When/If the vote passes, you can then move the artefacts to https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/ponymail/ via svn mv
• Announce the new release :)

Disclaimer

Apache Pony Mail is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
