This patch updates the release script to use JDK 21 to build the release. We could also use JDK 17 but using JDK 21 directly does not change much. We have to verify anyway that the server works with 17 and the client with 11. Reviewers: Ismael Juma <ismael@juma.me.uk> |

Releasing Apache Kafka
This directory contains the tools used to publish a release.
Requirements
- python 3.12
- git
- gpg 2.4
The full instructions for producing a release are available in https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Release+Process.
Setup
Create a virtualenv for python, activate it and install dependencies:
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
Usage
To start a release, first activate the virutalenv, and then run the release script.
source .venv/bin/activate
You'll need to setup PUSH_REMOTE_NAME to refer to
the git remote for apache/kafka.
export PUSH_REMOTE_NAME=<value>
It should be the value shown with this command:
git remote -v | grep -w 'github.com' | grep -w 'apache/kafka' | grep -w '(push)' | awk '{print $1}'
Then start the release script:
python release.py
Should you encounter some problem, where re-running the script doesn't work, look at the following steps:
- The script remembers data inputted previously if you need to correct it, it is saved under the
.release-settings.jsonfile in thereleasefolder. - If the script is interrupted you might need to manually delete the tag named after the release candidate name and branch named after the release version.
