Release process

The following steps should be followed to generate a new release:

• In your local workspace, run git flow release start vX.Y.Z (assuming git-flow is installed)
  • You should now be in the release/vX.Y.Z branch
• Bump com.ibm.streamsx.kafka/info.xml version number
• Generate a release by running gradle release
• Run a greenthread test against the release (not the toolkit in your git repo)
  1. Extract the generated release in /tmp
  2. Pick one of the samples and update the toolkitPath variable in build.gradle to point to /tmp/com.ibm.streamsx.kafka
  3. Update the etc/*.properties to point to a Kafka cluster
  4. Run gradle build to build the sample
  5. Run the sample: streamtool submitjob output/<sample_name>/<sample_name>.sab
  6. DELETE the toolkit from /tmp
• Merge release/vX.Y.Z into both master and develop:
  • gradle clean
  • git add com.ibm.streamsx.kafka/info.xml
  • git commit -m "Update version to vX.Y.Z"
  • git flow release finish vX.Y.Z
• Push master and develop to Github repo: git push
• Push the tag to the Github repo: git push --tags
• Generate a release on Github using the pushed tag
• DONE!
