hanks for volunteering to be release manager! The artifacts to be voted on will be in the following directory (or something very much like it):
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/sdap/apache-sdap-0.4.5a56-rc0/ with * “dev” being the place for candidate releases (to be replaced by “release” when the release is final) * “sdap” being the project name (prefixed with “incubator/“ while sdap is incubating) * “apache-sdap” being the component * “0.4.5a56” being the version * “rc0” being the release candidate label On release, you will copy the artifacts to https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/sdap/apache-sdap-0.4.5a56/ Note that ‘dev’ became ‘release’ and the ‘rc0’ label was removed. And by the time you release, you'll also need a KEYS file similar to the one in the bRPC project: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/brpc/KEYS Browse https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/ and you’ll see that all projects use this directory structure. Let’s look at the artifacts that were in Calcite’s last release. In the directory https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/calcite/apache-calcite-1.31.0-rc2/ sh you’ll see the following files: * apache-calcite-1.31.0-src.tar.gz # source tar ball * apache-calcite-1.31.0-src.tar.gz.asc # armored signature generated by PGP * apache-calcite-1.31.0-src.tar.gz.sha512 # SHA512 checksum of the src.tar.gz file SDAP will need equivalent files. Now, how to write to dist.apache.org? That web server is a view onto an ASF source code repository managed by the Subversion source control system. ASF uses it for content management of releases. First, install subversion. "sudo apt-get install subversion” or similar. Then checkout the tree: svn co https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/sdap/trunk sdap cd sdap mkdir apache-sdap-0.4.5a56-rc0 Create some files, then check them in: svn add apache-sdap-0.4.5a56-rc0 svn ci -m’Uploading release candidate Apache SDAP sdap-0.4.5a56-rc0 to dev area’ apache-sdap-0.4.5a56-rc0 These instructions are from memory, so there might be a few mistakes. Hopefully you get the general idea. Do some Google searches and you’ll probably find the release instructions used by other projects. You'll need to log into subversion using your ASF username and password, but I don’t remember the details. Be sure to write a ‘how to’ so that the next release manager can follow your steps, and add it to the source code when you’re done. And maybe one or two shell scripts. I also recommend that you create a bug with the title ‘Release SDAP 0.4.5a56’. It will be a useful place to have discussions, link to other bugs, release notes, etc. Julian On Nov 9, 2022, at 3:32 PM, Nga Chung <nch...@apache.org> wrote: I'm going to be the release manager for this first release. Where exactly do we upload the 3 .tar.gz (1 per repository) to? Thanks, Nga On Thu, Nov 3, 2022 at 5:12 PM Julian Hyde <jh...@apache.org> wrote: Regarding testing. I recommend that the release manager creates a recipe ("HOWTO") for the steps to create a release. One of those steps is a manual smoke test (e.g. am I able to start the server and do x, y, and z simple operations). Other people voting on the release can do their own smoke tests. But do bear in mind that if there are bugs, this does not prevent a release. Clearly you don't want show-stopper bugs like code that doesn't compile.

From what I can tell, these are the major items that need to be completed before we can move forward: 1. Identify a release manager. Any volunteers? 2. Create release tarball 3. Write release notes 4. Write installation instructions from source (Riley Kuttruff has started this work) 5. Push docker images to Dockerhub (and update quickstart with these versions) Another important task before moving forward would be testing the latest SDAP analysis image 0.4.5a56. I have personally used this version without any issues. Has anyone else upgraded to this latest alpha version? Thank you! Stepheny
