Struts 1.3.5

16-Aug-2006

• Copied the distributions to www.apache.org/dist/struts
• Did _not_ change the 'current' links, as 1.3.5 is a Beta release

Deploying jars to m2-ibiblio-rsync-repository

1. Check out the STRUTS_1_3_5 tag

2. Add the ibiblio rsync repo to <distributionManagement> in the struts-parent pom

3. Deploy the artifacts to set the repository xml metadata:

   mvn deploy -P pre-asssembly

(Wait a couple of minutes so that the find command in #5 will work.)

4. Copy the original files from the snapshot repo, overwriting the ones you just deployed:

ssh people.apache.org
$ cd /www/people.apache.org/repo/m2-snapshot-repository
$ pwd
/www/people.apache.org/repo/m2-snapshot-repository
$ find . -name "struts-*-1.3.5*" -not \( -name "*SNAPSHOT*" \) -exec cp {} /www/people.apache.org/repo/m2-ibiblio-rsync-repository/{} \;

5. Make sure every file was overwritten (adjust # of minutes as necessary):

ssh people.apache.org
$ cd /www/people.apache.org/repo/m2-ibiblio-rsync-repository/org/apache/struts
  find . -name *1.3.5* -mmin 106
     --> should show all the files that are timestamped when 'find ... -exec cp ...' was done
  find . -name *1.3.5* -mmin +107
     --> should show only the directories, which are timestamped when 'mvn deploy' was done

• re-built Struts 1.3.5 from the tag in order to provide signatures.

PGP signatures:

Save and run this from $M2_REPO/org/apache/struts

# Recursively pgp sign files in a directory structure
# Adapted from: http://gleamynode.net/wordpress/archives/129

echo -n "PGP Key Password: "
stty -echo
read PASSWORD
stty echo
echo ""

for FILE in $(find . -name "*.jar" -or -name "*.pom"); do

   echo -n "Signing: $FILE ... "

   echo "$PASSWORD" | gpg --default-key "$DEFAULT_KEY" --detach-sign --armor --no-tty --yes --passphrase-fd 0 "$FILE" && echo done.
   
done

$ cd $M2_REPO/org/apache/struts
$ ./sign-jar-pom.sh

Checksums for the distribution .zip files:

for FILE in $(find . -name "*.zip"); do

   FILENAME=`echo $FILE | cut -c 3-30`
   
   echo "Checksumming $FILENAME"

   md5sum $FILENAME > $FILENAME.md5
   sha1sum $FILENAME > $FILENAME.sha1
   
done
