Make a Snapshot

  • Only for plugins:

    • In the pom.xml update the Gerrit version under properties > Gerrit-ApiVersion to the version of the new Gerrit release.

    • Make sure that the URL for the Maven repository with the id gerrit-api-repository in the pom.xml is correct.

      If Gerrit-ApiVersion references a released Gerrit version it must be https://gerrit-api.stoarge.googleapis.com/release/, if Gerrit-ApiVersion references a snapshot Gerrit version it must be https://gerrit-api.storage.googleapis.com/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 version in the Gerrit parent pom.xml for the Subproject 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

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
