Preface

This document contains notes and steps required to publish a new release of the Scheduling Assistant source.

Before you begin, read Using Maven for your Jasig project. You'll need a GPG key and authorization to publish to sonatype.

Release Instructions

  1. Start with a clean checkout of the desired branch that has none of the files in svn:ignore (e.g. scheduling-assistant.properties, integration.properties).
  2. Make sure license and notice files are up to date with mvn license:format and mvn notice:generate. Run svn status -u afterwards to see if any changes need to be committed.
  3. Execute mvn release:prepare -DautoVersionSubmodules=true. The argument will only require you to enter 1 version number to be applied to all the sub modules.
  4. Upon completion you should see the following: 
    [INFO] Release preparation complete.
