-VOLTHA Components (wip)
-=======================
+VOLTHA Components
+=================
+
+ONOS
+----
+A few different processes exist for releasing the VOLTHA project and componets.
+Some are released through github using branches/tags/downloads.
+Others are released as packages on maven central.
+
+A jenkins job exists for releasing ONOS app
+- Maven central based release
+- Release process requires some manual steps.
- `Jenkins Release Job <https://jenkins.opencord.org/job/onos-app-release/>`_
- - Initiate a build for the target component, specify appVersion & apiVersion.
- - Job will modify pom.xml and create pull requests based on version strings.
- - Approve and merge the pom.xml changes.
- - Next a jenkins job will publish changes to maven central.
+ - Initiate a build with parameters for the target component.
- - A user login is required.
- - `Wait until artifacts are published <https://search.maven.org/search?q=g:org.opencord>`_
- - Verify status then manually initiate.
- - `Visit <https://oss.sonatype.org>`_
- - Select app to release.
- - Click Show all versions.
- - TODO: Girish to provide remaining steps.
+ - Use repository name not name of the app itself.
+ - Specify appVersion and apiVersion stored in the pom.xml file.
+
+ - Job will modify pom.xml and create pull requests based on version strings.
+
+ - NOTE: Two pull requests are created to modify pom.xml
+ - One for release (x.y.z)
+ - The second to revert to non-release version (x.(y+1).z-SNAPSHOT)
+ - Approve and merge the release version while performing the release.
+ - Once published approve the 2nd version change to re-attach the -SNAPSHOT suffix.
+
+ - Version x.y.z-SNAPSHOT is the default non-release version.
+ - Jenkins job will morph x.y.z-SNAPSHOT into x.y.z for the release.
+ - A gerrit pull request will be created under the release requestor(s) name.
+
+ - Approve the pom.xml pull request and merge.
+ - Merge will trigger (https://jenkins.opencord.org/job/maven-publish_sadis/ for sadis app, similar link for olt and other apps) that publish the artifact in the staging repo on oss.sonatype.org, you need to release it.
+ - Wait for build to complete
+ - Merge the patches here https://gerrit.opencord.org/q/owner:do-not-reply%2540opennetworking.org
+
+- Publish sonatype staging to maven central:
+
+ - Visit `https://oss.sonatype.org <https://oss.sonatype.org>`_
+ - Login with ONF credentials
+
+ - Search for org.opencord
+ - Click on "Staging repositories" (in the left side navigation)
+ - In the top right search for last part of the app name (eg: olt)
+ - Click release (top left bar, small button)
+ - `Wait until artifacts are published <https://search.maven.org/search?q=g:org.opencord>`_
+
+- Release all other apps/components (dependency hierarch):
+
+ - Iterate over individual components in order of increasing dependency volume.
+
+ - For ex olt depends on sadis
+ - Begin by releasing sadis first
+ - Once publishing has completed then olt can be released.
+
+ - Verify expected dependent version has been released.
+ - Modify pom.xml, update dep version(s) from x.z.y-SNAPSHOT to x.y.z
+ - Commit and submit.

+VOLTHA Components: ONOS Dependencies
+====================================
+
+ONOS components are maintained by a series of maven projects.
+Releasing individual components will require:
+
+- Build and release dependencies:
+
+ - Three jenkins jobs
+
+ - modify version in pom.xml for release (remove -SNAPSHOT)
+ - publish artifact to maven central.
+ - modify version in pom.xml for release (append -SNAPSHOT)
+
+ - Three manual operations:
+
+ - Review and approve pull request to create a pom.xml release version.
+ - Release artifact to maven central.
+ - Review and approve pull request to create a pom.xml non-release version.
+
+ - Long idle window(s)
+
+First submit nop jobs to verify the packages can build and test cleanly.
+Bulk update copyright notice dates or modify comments within sources and submit.
+
+Search pom.xml for package version string
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+component sadis
+
+Package version strings should contain the suffix -SNAPSHOT.
+
+.. code:: bash
+
+ aaa/pom.xml
+ aaa/api/pom.xml
+ aaa/app/pom.xml
+
+.. code:: XML
+
+ <artifactId>sadis</artifactId>
+ <version>5.9.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
+ <packaging>pom</packaging>
+
+ <properties>
+ <sadis.api.version>5.9.0-SNAPSHOT</sadis.api.version>
+ </properties>
+
+
+Next search pom.xml for dependent packages
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+component: aaa
+
+Dependent package version strings will be a released (non-SNAPSHOT) version.
+
+.. code:: XML
+
+ <properties>
+ <sadis.api.version>5.9.0</sadis.api.version>
+ <aaa.api.version>2.8.0-SNAPSHOT</aaa.api.version>
+ </properties>
+
+
+Dependency Hierarchy
+--------------------
+
+Components are built and released in version hiearchy order.
+
+sadis
+^^^^^
+
+- Verify -SNAPSHOT version string is present.
+- Dependent components: none
+- Scan pom.xml for version dependencies:
+
+.. code:: XML

+ <sadis.api.version>5.9.0-SNAPSHOT</sadis.api.version>
+
+
+aaa

+- Verify -SNAPSHOT version string is present.
