Move the artifacts from the release management area to the release area as follows:
svn mv https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/nutch/$release.version https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/nutch/$release.version --message "Release Apache Nutch $release.version"
- wait until the release is visible on the release page
- update the Nutch website (see nutch-site README how to)
- add the new release info to the doap.rdf file (content/doap.rdf), and double check for any other updates that should be made to the doap file as well if it hasn't been updated in a while. If this is the case please see here
- replace the folder content/documentation/javadoc/apidocs/ with the Java API doc folder of the current version
update the version numbers on the javadoc page (content/documentation/javadoc/index.md) and the wiki FrontPage
- update the links to release packages on the downloads page (content/download.md)
write a short announcement about the new release in the news section (content/news/)
- build the Nutch website, verify the changes and deploy the site
- Release the version on Jira
- (if necessary) prepare announcements regarding CVEs resolved with this release of Nutch, see the Apache security howtos
Send announcements to the user and developer lists as well as announce@apache.org
Finally, don't forget to remove the previous release from the dist.apache.org release directory to reduce the load on ASF mirrors, see when-to-archive and NUTCH-1742.
