             Summary: Automate built artifacts release to GitHub Releases
                 Key: MODCLUSTER-475
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/MODCLUSTER-475
             Project: mod_cluster
          Issue Type: Task
            Reporter: Michal Karm Babacek
            Assignee: Michal Karm Babacek


The current setup of the suite of our multi-platform Jenkins jobs builds all the release artifacts without pushing them anywhere.

The person doing the release has to download all these built artifacts and upload them to the jboss.org. Next, one has to adjust Magnolia Release pages, Release notes and links. It is tedious, it involves extensive Magnolia and Docbook hacking and we should get rid of it in order to streamline the release process.

MODCLUSTER-474 introduced GitHub Releases, e.g. [1.3.1.Final on GitHub|http://modcluster.io/change_log/#final-6-may-2015]. This particular "demo" was uploaded manually, although it could be nicely automated either with [ghr|https://github.com/tcnksm/ghr] or [github-release|https://github.com/aktau/github-release]. The only possible downside is the exposure of our GitHub keys to the build environment. It could be easily addressed by having the mod_cluster-release Jenkins job tied to a one and only one specific private slave. Other suggestions are welcome though.
