- Prepare the Apache Airflow Helm Chart Release Candidate
- Verify the release candidate by PMCs
- Verify release candidates by Contributors
- Publish the final release
You can find the prerequisites to release Apache Airflow in README.md. This document details the steps for releasing Helm Chart.
- Helm version >= 3.5.4
The Release Candidate artifacts we vote upon should be the exact ones we vote against, without any modification than renaming – i.e. the contents of the files must be the same between voted release candidate and final release. Because of this the version in the built artifacts that will become the official Apache releases must not include the rcN suffix.
-
Set environment variables
# Set Version export VERSION=1.0.1rc1 export VERSION_WITHOUT_RC=${VERSION%rc?} # Set AIRFLOW_REPO_ROOT to the path of your git repo export AIRFLOW_REPO_ROOT=$(pwd) # Example after cloning git clone https://github.com/apache/airflow.git airflow cd airflow export AIRFLOW_REPO_ROOT=$(pwd)
-
We currently release Helm Chart from
main
branch:git checkout main
-
Clean the checkout: the sdist step below will
git clean -fxd
-
Update Helm Chart version in
Chart.yaml
, example:version: 1.0.0
(without the RC tag). If the default version of Airflow is different fromappVersion
change it. -
Commit the version change.
-
Tag your release
git tag -s helm-chart/${VERSION}
-
Tarball the repo
git archive --format=tar.gz helm-chart/${VERSION} --prefix=airflow-chart-${VERSION_WITHOUT_RC}/ \ -o airflow-chart-${VERSION_WITHOUT_RC}-source.tar.gz chart .rat-excludes
-
Generate chart binary
NOTE: Make sure your checkout is clean at this stage - any untracked or changed files will otherwise be included in the file produced.
Replace key email to your email address and path of keyring if it is different. (If you have not generated a key yet, generate it by following instructions on http://www.apache.org/dev/openpgp.html#key-gen-generate-key)
helm package chart --dependency-update --sign --key "kaxilnaik@apache.org" \ --keyring ~/.gnupg/secring.gpg
Warning: the GnuPG v2 store your secret keyring using a new format kbx on the default location
~/.gnupg/pubring.kbx
. Please use the following command to convert your keyring to the legacy gpg format and run the above command again:gpg --export-secret-keys > ~/.gnupg/secring.gpg
This should also generate Provenance file (Example:
airflow-1.0.0.tgz.prov
) as described in https://helm.sh/docs/topics/provenance/ which can be used to verify integrity of the Helm chart.Verify the signed chart:
helm verify airflow-${VERSION_WITHOUT_RC}.tgz --keyring ~/.gnupg/secring.gpg
Example Output:

Subject:
[VOTE] Release Apache Airflow Helm Chart 1.0.1 based on 1.0.1rc1
Body:
Hello Apache Airflow Community,
This is a call for the vote to release Helm Chart version 1.0.1.
The release candidate is available at:
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/airflow/helm-chart/1.0.1rc1/
airflow-chart-1.0.1-source.tar.gz - is the "main source release" that comes with INSTALL instructions.
airflow-1.0.1.tgz - is the binary Helm Chart release.
Public keys are available at: https://www.apache.org/dist/airflow/KEYS
For convenience "index.yaml" has been uploaded (though excluded from voting), so you can also run the below commands.
helm repo add apache-airflow-dev https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/airflow/helm-chart/1.0.1rc1/
helm repo update
helm install airflow apache-airflow-dev/airflow
airflow-1.0.1.tgz.prov - is also uploaded for verifying Chart Integrity, though not strictly required for releasing the artifact based on ASF Guidelines.
$ helm verify airflow-1.0.1.tgz --keyring ~/.gnupg/secring.gpg

The vote will be open for at least 72 hours (2021-05-19 01:30 UTC) or until the necessary number of votes are reached.
https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/to?iso=20210519T0230&p0=136&font=cursive
Please vote accordingly:
[ ] +1 approve
[ ] +0 no opinion
[ ] -1 disapprove with the reason
Only votes from PMC members are binding, but members of the community are
encouraged to test the release and vote with "(non-binding)".
For license checks, the .rat-excludes files is included, so you can run the following to verify licenses (just update $PATH_TO_RAT):
tar -xvf airflow-chart-1.0.1-source.tar.gz
cd airflow-chart-1.0.1
java -jar $PATH_TO_RAT/apache-rat-0.13/apache-rat-0.13.jar chart -E .rat-excludes
Please note that the version number excludes the `rcX` string, so it's now
simply 1.0.1. This will allow us to rename the artifact without modifying
the artifact checksums when we actually release.
Thanks,
<your name>
The PMCs should verify the releases in order to make sure the release is following the Apache Legal Release Policy.
At least 3 (+1) votes should be recorded in accordance to Votes on Package Releases
The legal checks include:
- checking if the packages are present in the right dist folder on svn
- verifying if all the sources have correct licences
- verifying if release manager signed the releases with the right key
- verifying if all the checksums are valid for the release
The files should be present in the sub-folder of Airflow dist
The following files should be present (7 files):
airflow-chart-${VERSION_WITHOUT_RC}-source.tar.gz
+ .asc + .sha512airflow-{VERSION_WITHOUT_RC}.tgz
+ .asc + .sha512airflow-{VERSION_WITHOUT_RC}.tgz.prov
As a PMC you should be able to clone the SVN repository:
svn co https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/airflow
Or update it if you already checked it out:
svn update .
This can be done with the Apache RAT tool.
- Download the latest jar from https://creadur.apache.org/rat/download_rat.cgi (unpack the binary, the jar is inside)
- Unpack the binary (
-bin.tar.gz
) to a folder - Enter the folder and run the check (point to the place where you extracted the .jar)
java -jar $PATH_TO_RAT/apache-rat-0.13/apache-rat-0.13.jar chart -E .rat-excludes
where .rat-excludes
is the file in the root of Chart source code.
Make sure you have the key of person signed imported in your GPG. You can find the valid keys in KEYS.
You can import the whole KEYS file:
gpg --import KEYS
You can also import the keys individually from a keyserver. The below one uses Kaxil's key and retrieves it from the default GPG keyserver OpenPGP.org:
gpg --receive-keys 12717556040EEF2EEAF1B9C275FCCD0A25FA0E4B
You should choose to import the key when asked.
Note that by being default, the OpenPGP server tends to be overloaded often and might respond with errors or timeouts. Many of the release managers also uploaded their keys to the GNUPG.net keyserver, and you can retrieve it from there.
gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --receive-keys 12717556040EEF2EEAF1B9C275FCCD0A25FA0E4B
Once you have the keys, the signatures can be verified by running this:
for i in *.asc
do
echo "Checking $i"; gpg --verify $i
done
This should produce results similar to the below. The "Good signature from ..." is indication that the signatures are correct. Do not worry about the "not certified with a trusted signature" warning. Most of the certificates used by release managers are self signed, that's why you get this warning. By importing the server in the previous step and importing it via ID from KEYS page, you know that this is a valid Key already.

do
echo "Checking $i"; shasum -a 512 `basename $i .sha512 ` | diff - $i
done
You should get output similar to:

Checking airflow-chart-1.0.0-source.tar.gz.sha512
Contributors can run below commands to test the Helm Chart
helm repo add apache-airflow-dev https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/airflow/helm-chart/1.0.1rc1/
helm repo update
helm install airflow apache-airflow-dev/airflow
You can then perform any other verifications to check that it works as you expected by
upgrading the Chart or installing by overriding default of values.yaml
.
Once the vote has been passed, you will need to send a result vote to dev@airflow.apache.org:

You need to migrate the RC artifacts that passed to this repository: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/airflow/helm-chart/ (The migration should include renaming the files so that they no longer have the RC number in their filenames.)
The best way of doing this is to svn cp between the two repos (this avoids having to upload the binaries again, and gives a clearer history in the svn commit logs):
# First clone the repo
export RC=1.0.1rc1
export VERSION=${RC/rc?/}
svn checkout https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/airflow airflow-release
# Create new folder for the release
cd airflow-release/helm-chart
svn mkdir ${VERSION}
cd ${VERSION}
# Move the artifacts to svn folder & commit (don't copy or copy & remove - index.yaml)
for f in ../../../airflow-dev/helm-chart/$RC/*; do svn cp $f ${$(basename $f)/rc?/}; done
svn rm index.yaml
svn commit -m "Release Airflow Helm Chart Check ${VERSION} from ${RC}"
# Remove old release
# http://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#when-to-archive
cd ..
export PREVIOUS_VERSION=1.0.0
svn rm ${PREVIOUS_VERSION}
svn commit -m "Remove old Helm Chart release: ${PREVIOUS_VERSION}"
Verify that the packages appear in Airflow Helm Chart.
In our cases, documentation for the released versions is published in a separate repository -
apache/airflow-site
, but the documentation source code and
build tools are available in the apache/airflow
repository, so you have to coordinate
between the two repositories to be able to build the documentation.
-
First, copy the airflow-site repository and set the environment variable
AIRFLOW_SITE_DIRECTORY
.git clone https://github.com/apache/airflow-site.git airflow-site cd airflow-site export AIRFLOW_SITE_DIRECTORY="$(pwd)"
-
Then you can go to the directory and build the necessary documentation packages
cd "${AIRFLOW_REPO_ROOT}" ./breeze build-docs -- --package-filter helm-chart --for-production
-
We upload
index.yaml
to the Airflow website to allow:helm repo add https://airflow.apache.org
. -
Now you can preview the documentation.
./docs/start_doc_server.sh
-
Copy the documentation to the
airflow-site
repository../docs/publish_docs.py --package-filter apache-airflow --package-filter docker-stack cd "${AIRFLOW_SITE_DIRECTORY}" git commit -m "Add documentation for Apache Airflow Helm Chart ${VERSION}" git push
We upload index.yaml
to the Airflow website to allow: helm repo add https://airflow.apache.org
.
cd "${AIRFLOW_SITE_DIRECTORY}"
curl https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/airflow/helm-chart/${RC}/index.yaml -o index.yaml
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/airflow/helm-chart/${VERSION}
sed "s|https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/airflow/helm-chart/$RC|https://downloads.apache.org/airflow/helm-chart/$VERSION|" index.yaml
git commit -m "Add documentation for Apache Airflow Helm Chart ${VERSION}"
git push
- Notify users@airflow.apache.org (cc'ing dev@airflow.apache.org and announce@apache.org) that the artifacts have been published:
