  1. Versioning and Automated Weekly Releases

  2. Current Challenges • There are over 250 bundles carrying different versions in OpenDaylight • Automated release process using maven release plugin does not work reliably because of the way current pom files are structured • When it is time to release, lot of time is wasted fixing pom files manually which makes the release very error prone

  3. Current Challenges – Few Examples • Multiple parent pom’s within a given module • For example, mdsal in controller project has 2 parents: sal-parent at version: 1.1-SNAPSHOT and compatibility parent which is also at 1.1-SNAPSHOT. Both of these parents are pointing to another parent which is at 1.4.2-SNAPSHOT. • Bundle versions not derived from the parent • In UserManager pom file, the parent version is defined as 1 .4.2-SNAPSHOT but the bundle version is 0.4.2-SNAPSHOT • Cross project dependencies listed directly in the Bundle POM instead of deriving it from the parent

  4. Proposed Solution - Overview

  5. Proposed Solution • Have only one version per project/git repo • Have only one parent per project unless otherwise necessary • Define a global pom which is common to all the projects participating in simultaneous release • This global pom will maintain the release version which could be $MAJOR.$MINOR-$BUILD_NUMBER • All sub-project’s parents will inherit the global pom file

  6. Proposed Solution • Project dependency versions have to be defined as properties in the parent pom and should not be hardcoded in the module pom’s • Schedule automated weekly release for each project participating in simultaneous release using maven versions plugin + maven release plugin + Jenkins • Use consistent naming convention for git tags for all projects in simultaneous release

  7. Current Maven Dependency tree

  8. Future Maven Dependency tree

  9. Demo

  10. Future Considerations • After the pom files are re-structured and release automation is in place, there is a possibility that pom files can get into similar situation very quickly. • To prevent this from happening, we can have a gerrit pre-commit gate that validates the pom files, if a pom file is part of the commit. • If the pom file does not meet the criteria, jenkins verification build will fail for that particular project
