Depends on what you mean by releasing...We are in the process of releasing our project. I realize this is a big topic, but what I'm specifically looking for are any guidelines or how-to's on taking a Tycho project where all the versions are SNAPSHOT/qualifier and performing a release. I'm not quite sure where to start so any help would be greatly appreciated. In most cases I work on, we make any CI builds ready to be promoted as a release, so releasing is only about copying the produced repository to the public URL consumer will use, make the announce on mailing-list & forums, and changing the documentation pages to update the URL and version info. IMHO, Tycho is good at building artifacts, when it comes to releasing, it's not very helpful. Releasing is a "business" process that almost always change. It's easier and faster to document it and perform it manually that to automate it with Tycho or any other engine. HTH |
