Motivation:
We also need to compile the modules we depend on when finish up the release otherwise it may fail.
Modifications:
Add "-am" to the mvn args
Result:
Correctly also compile the modules we depend on
Motivation:
We should use a higher timeout as sometimes the verification process in oss.sonatype.org is very slow.
Modifications:
Bump up timeout to 10 minutes
Result:
Less likely to see timeouts
Motivation:
We can just close and release the staging repository at the end and so remove the extra manual steps
Modification:
Execute extra goals for close and release
Result:
Less manual actions needed for release
Motivation:
We should fail the script if the tag already exists locally to ensure we really deploy the right code
Modifications:
Check if the tag already exists and if so print an error and exit
Result:
No risks to deploy wrong code as part of the release
Motivation:
Doing releases manually is error-prone, it would be better if we could do it via a workflow
Modification:
- Add workflow to cut releases
- Add related scripts
Result:
Be able to easily cut a release via a workflow
