Credentials for buildmaster accounts on https://repo.spring.io.
Credentials for https://oss.sonatype.org (to deploy and promote GA and service releases, need deployment permissions for org.springframework.data) in settings.xml for server with id sonatype.

Prepare local configuration and credentials

Add an application-local.properties to the project root and add the following properties:

git.username - Your GitHub username.
git.password - Your GitHub password or API key.
git.author - Your full name (used for preparing commits).
git.email - Your email (used for preparing commits).
maven.mavenHome - Pointing to the location of your Maven installation.
deployment.api-key - The API key to use for artifact promotion.
deployment.password - The password of the deployment user (buildmaster).
gpg.keyname - The GPG key name.
gpg.password - The password of your GPG key.
gpg.executable - Path to your GPG executable, typically /usr/local/MacGPG2/bin/gpg2 or /usr/local/bin/gpg.

See application-local.template for details.

Build and execute the release shell

Run mvn package && java -jar target/spring-data-release-cli.jar

The release process

Pre-release checks

Make sure that:

All work on CVEs potentially contained in the release is done (incl. backports etc.)
Upgrade dependencies in Spring Data Build parent pom (mind minor/major version rules)
All release tickets are present ($ tracker releasetickets $trainIteration)
Review open tickets for release
Self-assign release tickets ($ tracker prepare $trainIteration)
Announce release preparations to mailing list

Release the binaries

$ release prepare $trainIteration
$ release build $trainIteration
$ release conclude $trainIteration
$ git push $trainIteration
$ git push $trainIteration --tags
# After GitHub issues migration:
# github push $trainIteration
$ git backport changelog $trainIteration --target $targets
$ foreach $target -> git push $target

Distribute documentation and static resources from tags

$ release distribute $trainIteration

Post-release tasks

Close JIRA tickets and GitHub release tickets.
Create release tickets for the next train iteration, archive old release versions. Close Jira versions/GitHub milestones.

$ tracker close $trainIteration
$ tracker create releaseversions $trainIteration.next
$ tracker create releasetickets $trainIteration.next
$ tracker archive $trainIteration.previous

Update versions in Sagan with $ sagan update $releasetrains.
Announce release (Blog, Twitter) and notify downstream dependency projects as needed. Dev-tools can assist you with $ announcement $trainIteration. Make sure to remove the changelog link to Envers as this module has no changelog.

Utilities

GitHub Labels

ProjectLabelConfiguration contains a per-project configuration which labels should be present in a project. To apply that configuration (create or update), use:

$ github update labels $project

Dependency Upgrade

ProjectDependencies contains a per-project configuration of dependencies.

Workflow:

Check for dependency upgrades $ dependency check $trainIteration

Reports upgradable dependencies for Build and Modules and creates dependency-upgrade-build.properties file. Edit dependency-upgrade-build.properties to specify the dependency version to upgrade. Removing a line will omit that dependency upgrade.

Apply dependency upgrade with $ dependency upgrade $trainIteration. Applies dependency upgrades currently only to Spring Data Build.
Report store-specific dependencies to Spring Boot's current upgrade ticket (sample) $ dependency report $trainIteration
