+Publish the source and binary distributions to the pre-release area
+-------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+You will need to have checked out the Apache distribution Subversion
repository located at
+https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/brooklyn. Please
refer to [Prerequisites](prerequisites.html) for
+information.
+
+In your workspace for the `dist.apache.org` repo, create a directory with
the artifact name and version:
+
+{% highlight bash %}
+mkdir apache-brooklyn-${VERSION_NAME}
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+Refer back to the pre-release area Subversion (see [Publish to the staging
area](publish-temp.html)), and copy all of
+the release candidate artifacts - `-src` and `-bin`, `.tar.gz` and `.zip`,
and all associated `.md5`, `.sha1`, `.sha256`
+and `.asc` signatures - into this new folder.
+
+Rename all of the files to remove the `-rcN` designation. If you have the
`mmv` tool installed, this can be done with
+this command:
+
+{% highlight bash %}
+mmv -v '*-rc'$RC_NUMBER'-*' '#1-#2'
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+The hash files will need patching to refer to the filenames without the
`-rcN` designation:
+
+{% highlight bash %}
+sed -i.bak 's/-rc'$RC_NUMBER'-/-/' *.md5 *.sha1 *.sha256
+rm -f *.bak
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+Note that the PGP signatures do not embed the filename so they do not need
to be modified
+
+As a final check, re-test the hashes and signatures:
+
+{% highlight bash %}
+for ext in -src.tar.gz -src.zip -bin.tar.gz -bin.zip; do
+ artifact=apache-brooklyn-${VERSION_NAME}${ext}
+ md5sum -c ${artifact}.md5
+ shasum -a1 -c ${artifact}.sha1
+ shasum -a256 -c ${artifact}.sha256
+ gpg2 --verify ${artifact}.asc ${artifact}
+done
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+Then, add them to Subversion and commit.
+
+{% highlight bash %}
+svn add apache-brooklyn-${VERSION_NAME}
+svn commit --message "Add apache-brooklyn-${VERSION_NAME} to
dist/release/incubator/brooklyn"
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+
+Publish the staging repository on Apache's Nexus server
+-------------------------------------------------------
+
+*Releasing* the staging repository causes its contents to be copied to the
main Apache Nexus repository. This in turn
+is propagated to Maven Central, meaning all of our users can access the
artifacts using a default Maven configuration
+(there's no need to add a `<repository>` to their `pom.xml` or
`~/.m2/settings.xml`).
+
+Go to the Apache Nexus server at
[https://repository.apache.org/](https://repository.apache.org/) and log in
using the
+link in the top right (the credentials are the same as your Git and
Jenkins credentials). Go to the "Staging
+Repositories" page, and tick the repository with the name starting
`orgapachebrooklyn`. Click the **Release** button.
+Provide a description which includes the version, e.g. `Apache Brooklyn
0.7.0-incubating`.
+
+
+Update the website
