Corey J. Nolet commented on ACCUMULO-3156: ------------------------------------------ Update of my notes to include post-vote bullet points. - Add the next version to JIRA. - A PGP key needs to be made. GnuPGP is one way to do this. More details can be found on the Apache Guide for New Committers. - Once the key is made, you will need to use gpg-agent or something similar to cache your key and credentials so that the maven gpg plugin can properly sign all the artifacts. - You will need to add your gpg public key to the keys file: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/accumulo Add your apache id and password for the necessary servers to your settings.xml. You should use the following link to encrypt your password: https://wiki.apache.org/commons/UsingNexus#Preparations_for_using_Nexus <server> <id>apache.snapshots.https</id> <username>apacheId</username> <password>apachePassword</password> </server> <!-- To publish a release --> <server> <id>apache.releases.https</id> <username>apacheId</username> <password>apachePassword</password> </server> - Go to the "Road Map" in JIRA under the Accumulo project and click on "Release Notes" under the unreleased version in question. Note that this will give you open tickets as well. One way to do this is to look @ all the open tickets for the version and remove them manually from the release notes. Depending on the type of release, it's possible now could be a good time to move the versions of the JIRA tickets to the next unreleased bugfix for the major version line you are releasing. -Run the following commands to branch and release: {noformat} git co -b 1.6.2-SNAPSHOT [19:44][cjnolet@coreys-mbp:/workspace/accumulo(1.6.2-SNAPSHOT)]$ git push -u origin 1.6.2-SNAPSHOT:1.6.2-SNAPSHOT Total 0 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0) To http://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/accumulo.git * [new branch] 1.6.2-SNAPSHOT -> 1.6.2-SNAPSHOT Branch 1.6.2-SNAPSHOT set up to track remote branch 1.6.2-SNAPSHOT from origin. mvn release:prepare mvn release:perform git co 1.6.1 git co -b 1.6.1-rc1 git push -u origin 1.6.1-rc1:1.6.1-rc1 {noformat} - Fire off a message to the dev list with the following template: {noformat} Devs, Please consider the following candidate for Apache Accumulo 1.6.1 Branch: 1.6.1-rc1 SHA1: 88c5473b3b49d797d3dabebd12fe517e9b248ba2 Staging Repository: https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapacheaccumulo-1017/ Source tarball: http://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapacheaccumulo-1017/org/apache/accumulo/accumulo/1.6.1/accumulo-1.6.1-src.tar.gz Binary tarball: http://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapacheaccumulo-1017/org/apache/accumulo/accumulo/1.6.1/accumulo-1.6.1-bin.tar.gz (Append ".sha1", ".md5" or ".asc" to download the signature/hash for a given artifact.)
