Gratia - Building a New Release For Distribution

Building a new release for distribution

This section describes the steps for building a release of Gratia tomcat services for distribution.

Verify and update Gratia for the new release

As yourself, make sure your build area contains all committed changes:

• cd [PATH_TO_GRATIA]/gratia
• cvs update

As yourself, in gratia/build-scripts/Makefile , change the version_default to:

• version_default = v0.39
• commit the change

Tag and build the new release

As yourself, tag the release. This tags everything that is in your build directory and presumably tested:

• cd [PATH_TO_GRATIA]
• cvs tag -R v0-38-3 gratia

As gratia user, build it for the release (this insures that tar files are produced for VDT):

• export CVSROOT=":pserver:anonymous@gratia.cvs.sourceforge.net:2401/cvsroot/gratia"
• cd /home/gratia/gratia-releases
• cvs export -d gratia-v0.38.3 -r v0-38-3 gratia
• cd gratia-v0.38.3/build-scripts
• source setup-jdk15.sh
• make release

As gratia user, copy the tarballs for this release to a 'save' area:

• cd /home/gratia/gratia-releases/gratia-v0.38.3/target
• cp -p gratia_reporting_v0.38.3.tar /home/gratia/gratia-releases/tarballs/.
• cp -p gratia_services_v0.38.3.tar /home/gratia/gratia-releases/tarballs/.

Make the new release available for inclusion in the VDT

As yourself, copy the built tar files to the VDT release area:

• cd /home/gratia/gratia-releases/gratia-v0.38.3/target
• scp gratia_reporting_v0.38.3.tar flxi07.fnal.gov:/afs/fnal.gov/files/expwww/gratia/html/Files/.
• scp gratia_services_v0.38.3.tar flxi07.fnal.gov:/afs/fnal.gov/files/expwww/gratia/html/Files/.

As yourself,update the version number on the services release TWiki page:

• Edit and update the TWiki variable ReleaseVersion.

As yourself, create a VDT support ticket via email so it gets prioritized with the VDT team:

• Example:
