Purpose

Tags and releases a Grails plug-in to the Grails plug-in repository

Examples

grails release-plugin

Description

Usage:

grails release-plugin

This command is for users who have access to the Grails standard plug-in repository at http://plugins.grails.org

The command allows Grails to manage the release process for you by integrating SVN with Grails.

If you require access to repository and wish to release your plug-in there contact a member of the Grails development team.

The command will check whether the plug-in currently exists in the repository and if not will check-in the plug-in and create a release. The command will automatically upload the plugin to a location such as http://plugins.grails.org/grails-name. It will also automatically create the following structure:

grails-[name]
   tags
      LATEST_RELEASE
      RELEASE_XY
   trunk

The trunk directory contains the current latest sources. The tags directory contains tagged versions of each release and a LATEST_RELEASE tag that indicates the current latest release.

If the plug-in already exists in the repository Grails will update first, then commit the latest change and finally tag the release.

Either way the plug-in will then automatically be available via the list-plugins command.
