Checkout struts-site
project (see details at the bottom of this page) and perform export:
If build will fail try again - don't use clean
, the exporter is going to update only outdated pages. After successful export, commit updated files into struts-production
Now you should be on release/X.X.X.X
branch (git status
supposes confirm that). You must push changes to remote repo as the Release plugins will push changes to remote as well.
Tag the release by using the "release:prepare" goal of Maven:
For a dry run, add -DdryRun=true
. If you do a dry run, use mvn release:clean
to clean up after you have looked at the output.
When prompted for the SCM tag name, follow this pattern: STRUTS_2_3_[PATCH_VERSION]

Follow the link to get more information about performed operation by release plugin. After this step the artifacts will be hosted by Nexus.
If you need to run perform again, (or in a different box), do:
Next, log in to Nexus and close staging repository.
To simplify testing, the assemblies have to be moved to the /www/people.apache.org/builds/struts/$VERSION
dir.
After closing repository in Nexus, check if the release files are available from staging repository as bellow:
In order to move the assemblies login to people.apache.org and execute the following code:
After that move the assemblies directory to the builds destination with
Send a short e-mail to dev@struts.a.o informing about the new packages and to give people enough time to test the distribution (actual bits). Wait around a week before posting Vote. If no show-stoppers reported, start a vote thread for build quality designation.
It doesn't matter if the bits will be accepted or not, development continues Switch to
release/X.X.X.X
branch and execute the below command:
-n
option is need to avoid tagging the release, the Maven Release plugin did that already. If the release branch was published to the remote it won't be deleted locally, it must be done manually after removing branch from the remote:
This will remove the branch from the remote, now we can merge once more the release branch (when on develop
) and remove it
Now both master
and develop
branches should be up to date with the changes introduced by the release.
Post a release/quality vote to the dev list (and only the dev list). The example mail is on Sample announcements page.
If the vote result is for an ASF release (i.e. not test build), update site, announce. If the vote result is for GA, push to central.
After the vote, if the distribution is being mirrored (there was a favourable release vote) copy the Sources and Binaries:
Log in again to Nexus and release the repository, it will be automatically replicated across Maven Repositories
See Releasing a Maven-based project for further details.
Remove the old files from under /www/www.apache.org/dist/struts/
to synchronise only the latest version with peers. All the files from /www/www.apache.org/dist/
are always mirrored to http://archive.apache.org/dist/struts/
. You can use the below command:
cd /www/www.apache.org/dist/struts/ find . -type f -name "struts-2.3.x*" -exec rm -f {} \;
where x
is the previous version to remove (or one more previous to keep current and one version back).
Wait 24 hours before proceeding.
If the release will fix a - hopefully yet undisclosed - security issue, it's now time to update the Security Bulletins page and add a new announcement. For a template, just check former announcements
Check out site src code
source/dtds
struts-site/_config.yml
_config.yml
)jekyll build
jekyll serve -w
you can check the generated site at http://localhost:4000Commit the changes and the generated content
Now the changes must be deployed to production which is basically a separated Subversion repository, you check it out with command below:
It's a good idea to keep that working copy to be used with future releases. Right now copy content of struts-site/content
to struts-production
, then commit changes. Next step is to update exported wiki pages. With current approach the pages are kept in struts-production/release/2.X.x/docs
where X
is the current branch (ie. 2.3.x, 2.2.x and so on). Simply remove the whole content from under /docs
and update it with docs from assembly (you can download one from Maven repository or copy generated during release process which supposes to be in struts/assembly/target/cwiki
). And commit changes.
Make public available all the pages that could leak confidential information about the vulnerability. Wait or manually export the space in Confluence. Build snapshot locally and copy assembly/target/assembly/out/struts2-#.#.#-SNAPSHOT-docs.zip
to people.apache.org
and update /www/struts.apache.org/2.x/docs
We leave this as the last step, once the artifacts have had time to sync up on the mirrors. Target it to: user@struts.a.o
and announcements@struts.a.o
, samples are available at Sample announcements page
