Nexus2 releases migration notes

Ready to migrate? Things to consider and challenges faced with the currently migrated teams

• The job we are migrating to can be found in global-jjb: 

  • Maven releases: https://github.com/lfit/releng-global-jjb/blob/master/jjb/lf-maven-jobs.yaml#L799

  • Docker releases built with maven artifacts: https://github.com/lfit/releng-global-jjb/blob/master/jjb/lf-maven-jobs.yaml#L975

• These jobs are being designed to eventually automate the release process without LF intervention.

• gerrit-maven-stage jobs incude a step to automatically sign the artifacts using SIGUL:

  • Currently, SIGUL only works in CentOS for which the teams will need to use these nodes for running their builds
