ReleaseChecklist

(This is a growing list of items to be checked when doing a new release.)

Building sLS rpm

• First, update mvn to the release version(Eg: x.y)
  mvn versions:set -DnewVersion=x.y-SNAPSHOT
mvn versions:commit

• Next, update lookup-service.spec to release version

• Then, update rpm-build-script to the latest version

• Finally, build rpm

After building rpm, check the following

• Does rpm release number match the actual release number
• Sign rpm with perfsonar key
• Deploy on test host
• Check rpm for the following: * Version number in rpm * New install rpm: Does the config file have default values (host:'localhost',port:8090) * Updating rpm: Is the rpm replacing the existing config file?(It must not replace. The default config file should be created as a separate file if a config file already exists)
• Push to yum repo
• Update Release notes
• Send email
