Releasing CRI libs to Maven Central

Update the buildVersion in /build.gradle to reflect the latest major, minor or patch version of this library and then update the RELEASE_NOTES.

If this version is distinct, it should be deployed to Maven Central at uk.gov.account:cri-common-lib. Note that this is a manual process and needs be done using the pipeline-cri-libs-to-maven-central pipeline in the di-tools-dev account, see docs for more info.

Testing local changes to cri_common_lib with a dev CRI stack

In cri-common-lib:

• Update the buildVersion in /build.gradle to avoid any potential caching issues.
• Comment out sign publishing.publications in /build.gradle
• run ./gradlew publishToMavenLocal

In your cri repo:

• Update the dependencyVersions section for cri_common_lib to the same version set above in /build.gradle
• Add mavenLocal() to the repositories sections in /build.gradle (In kbv for example there are 2 of these to update). Add it above the existing maven field.

You should now be able to build your cri stack and deploy to AWS with your local cri_common_lib changes.
