I should update the Wiki to use that option - or at least mention it. The Native build process could easily be scripted. All the commands are in the wiki. I haven't scripted it so far, partly because the releases are so infrequent it hasn't seemed worth it and partly because I like to do it manually so I can keep a closer eye on what is going on.

Re: Release Managers wanted
Hi Mouli, Thanks for volunteering. Unfortunately, you need to be an Apache Tomcat committer to be a release manager and committership is something that needs to be earned on merit. That said, it isn't too to become a Tomcat committer. If you'd like to become a committer, the first thing you'll need to do is clone the Tomcat git repo build, Tomcat and run the unit tests. Once you have confirmed your development environment is working then you can start working on bug fixes and/or enhancements. Generally, things work best if you work on an area that interests you but if you wanted a suggestion of where to get started then I'd suggest this enhancement request: https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=62072 There is a big hint on how to approach this in comment 4. If you need any help along the way, just ask. Mark On 13/05/2021 08:25, I. V. Chandra Mouli wrote: I can volunteer for this Please let me know the process.

The step-by-step release process was documented for Tomcat 7: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TOMCAT/ReleaseProcess It needs a few minor updates but that should give you an idea of what is involved. I suggest that the major Tomcat versions are actually easier to release as: - the process is more automated - because the happen on a roughly monthly cycle you don't forget too much of the detail between releases - there is greater flexibility in the build environment (anything that needs a Windows binary needs a very specific environment to avoid unwanted system dependencies) You should be able to build on Linux or Windows (or MacOS assuming cygwin works well enough with NSIS) although anything other than Windows will require a little more setup in the first instance I'd be happy to mentor volunteers through their first couple of releases.
