Create a new issue from the Akka HTTP Release Train Issue Template by running scripts/create-release-issue.sh
and follow the steps.
A few more background information about the process can be found below.
Akka HTTP uses Github Actions and the sbt-ci-release plugin to release artifacts automatically. For commits to the main
branch, it directly publishes artifacts to the Sonatype snapshot repository.
Tags are published to Maven Central. The process is currently a two-step process:
- Github Actions uses sbt-ci-release to prepare the release and push it to Sonatype, closing the repository at the end.
- At that point a staging repository has been created that can be used to validate artifacts.
- When the release has been validated, the release person needs to manually release the artifacts from staging to Maven Central.
