Make a Snapshot

  • Build the latest snapshot and install it into the local Maven repository:

      mvn clean install

  • Test Gerrit with this snapshot locally

Publish Snapshot

If a snapshot for a subproject was created that should be referenced by Gerrit while current Gerrit development is ongoing, this snapshot needs to be published.

  • Make sure you have done the configuration needed for deployment:

  • Deploy the new snapshot:

      mvn deploy

  • Change the id, bin_sha1, and src_sha1 values in the maven_jar for the subproject in /WORKSPACE to the SNAPSHOT version.

    When Gerrit gets released, a release of the subproject has to be done and Gerrit has to reference the released subproject version.

Prepare the Release

  • First create (and test) the latest snapshot for the subproject

  • Update the top level pom.xml in the subproject to reflect the new project version (the exact value of the tag you will create below)

  • Create the Release Tag

      git tag -a -m "prolog-cafe 1.3" v1.3

  • Build and install into local Maven repository:

      mvn clean install

Publish the Release

  • Make sure you have done the configuration needed for deployment:

  • Deploy the new release:

      mvn deploy

  • Push the pom change(s) to the project’s repository refs/for/<master|stable>

  • Push the Release Tag

      git push gerrit-review refs/tags/v1.3:refs/tags/v1.3
