Releasing & deploying

Archie is published to the Central Repository. For setup, follow the steps in http://central.sonatype.org/pages/gradle.html.

Take the following steps to deploy and release Archie to version x.x.x:

Releasing

• In the build.gradle file, update the version of the project
• In the README, also update the version anywhere that it is used
• Commit these two files with the message "Update version to x.x.x"
• Add a tag to this version
  • git tag x.x.x
  • git push --tags
• Push the changes
  • git push
• Go to Github Releases and add release notes for the newly added tag

Deploying

• Start a deployment
  • ./gradlew clean build uploadArchives
    • If you encounter an 'could not find metadata' error: ignore this, this is expected behaviour
  • Go to oss.sonatype.org and login
  • Click staging in the left sidebar
  • Select the last repository with com.nedap
  • Click the close button in the top-menu bar and click confirm
  • Wait until the release is finished
  • Click release in the top-menu bar and click confirm

After this is all done, update the version in the build.gradle file to x.x.y-snapshot directly on master and push this to Github. This makes sure that developers continue their work on a snapshot branch. * Do not update the README for this new snapshot, so that users can see the latest stable release in the README
