### Overview
2-
3-
The release process for SNAPSHOT versions is handled by the `after_success.sh` script, triggered after Travis CI successfully completes a non-PR build. A new SNAPSHOT artifact will be released to the snapshot repository as part of this script.

### To push a release version

One-time setup
2+
==============
3+
4+
Set up Sonatype Account
5+
-----------------------
6+
* Sign up for a Sonatype JIRA account [here](https://issues.sonatype.org)
7+
* Click *Sign Up* in the login box, follow instructions
8+
9+
Get access to repository
10+
------------------------
11+
* Go to [community support](https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/OSSRH)
12+
* Ask for publish rights by creating an issue similar to [this one](https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/OSSRH-32032)
13+
* You must be logged in to create a new issue
14+
* Use the *Create* button at the top tab
15+
16+
Set up PGP keys
17+
---------------
18+
* Install GNU Privacy Guard (GPG)
19+
* GPG is installed by default on Ubuntu systems
20+
* For other systems, see [GnuPG download page](https://www.gnupg.org/download/)
21+
22+
* Generate the key ```gpg --gen-key```
23+
* Keep the defaults, but specify a passphrase
24+
* The passphrase can be random; you just need to remember it long enough to finish the next step
25+
* One way to make a random passphrase: ```base64 /dev/urandom | head -c20; echo;```
26+
27+
* Find the ID of your public key ```gpg --list-secret-keys```
28+
* Look for the line with format ```sec 2048R/ABCDEFGH 2015-11-17```
29+
* The ```ABCDEFGH``` is the ID for your public key
30+
31+
* Upload your public key to a public server: ```gpg --send-keys --keyserver hkp://pgp.mit.edu ABCDEFGH```
32+
33+
Create a Maven settings file
34+
----------------------------
35+
* Create a file at ```$HOME/.m2/settings.xml``` with your passphrase and your sonatype username and password
36+
```

5. Run `utilities/stage_release.sh`.
2494
This script builds and stages the release artifact on the Maven Central Repository, updates the README.md files with the release version + commits them locally, and finally generates a new site version for the gh-pages branch under a temporary directory named `tmp_gh-pages`. If you haven't run the release process before, it's worth verifying everything; check the staged release on the Sonatype website, and verify that the local commits have the right version updates.

If you experience failures, you may need to:
97+
- repeat the clean step above
98+
- remove the temporary directory created to store docs by running `rm -rf tmp_gh-pages`
99+
- remove staged repositories from Sonatype (to prevent them from being released in subsequent steps): if a staged repository appears [here](https://oss.sonatype.org/#nexus-search;quick~com.google.cloud), remove it by running `mvn nexus-staging:drop`.

Add the commits since the last release into the release draft. Try to group them into sections with related changes. Anything that is a breaking change needs to be marked with `*breaking change*`. Such changes are only allowed for alpha/beta modules and `@BetaApi` features.

Automatic tagging is not currently implemented, though it was discussed in [#119](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/google-cloud-java/pull/119). If the version updates continue to be manual, a one-line git tag command can be added to `after_success.sh` to correctly tag releases. However, automatically creating useful annotations for this tag will be difficult. Also, if the release process becomes fully automated, tagging becomes a harder problem, as mentioned in that issue.
