See the release page on the incubator site for details. A good overview of some of the most important issues is the release checklist http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html#check-list but really you need to go through that whole thing.
As Gary mentioned you need to have a source release. That's what Apache releases, source code. You can publish other stuff (e.g. binary tarball), but those are considered "conveniences" and not part of the release proper. I strongly suggest you start with just the source artifact. Get all the details worked out for that. Get a few releases under you belts. Then look at expanding around the conveniences. (but that's my 0.02, you can do whatever you want as long as you follow the apache regs) Patrick On Tue, Jan 28, 2014 at 10:59 AM, Gary Helmling <[email protected]> wrote: > I opened https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TWILL-36 for adding an > assembly target. > > > On Tue, Jan 28, 2014 at 10:52 AM, Gary Helmling <[email protected]> wrote: > >> -1 >> >> What I see in the release files are binary artifacts plus source jars, but >> nothing that can be built independently.
