- PPMC vote and tally.
- During incubation, IPMC vote, for example:
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/ae06af5a10d99a14e35a0fee8a8e35e91505b85293549f8152a075d4@%3Cgeneral.incubator.apache.org%3E
Conclude and tally the vote on general@ by replying with a final [RESULT][VOTE] <subject>, which can be done after minimal 72h. Check the general@ list for examples on the format and content of such [RESULT][VOTE] emails, for example:
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/30c40866c0ad97d747c270dc7b7ddc78f60157695763bf355e1697a4@%3Cgeneral.incubator.apache.org%3E - The source distribution at https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/netbeans/
needs to be moved (can use svn mv for that) to something like:
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/netbeans/incubating-netbeans-html4j/ - Also, the KEYS file needed to verify netbeans distributions needs to be uploaded in the root (netbeans) dist folder there as well:
http://www.apache.org/dev/release-distribution.html#sigs-and-sums - Finally, the NetBeans website (netbeans.apache.org) needs to provide a download link for the distribution, including (explicitly) links to:
http://www.apache.org/dev/release-distribution.html#download-links
Example: http://impala.incubator.apache.org/downloads.html
i.e., update the website with the release info, as that is required to make it a proper and community-visible release.
Staging Release Candidate
Into a local release directory, $RELEASE, checkout staging area:
$ cd $RELEASE
$ mkdir -p repos/dist/dev/incubator/netbeans
$ cd repos/dist/dev/incubator/netbeans
$ svn checkout https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/netbeans
Add the candidate, and svn add&svn commit.
Releasing a Release Candidate
To actually release a candidate, move it to the release area. In addition to the staging area, the release area needs to be checked out:
$ cd $RELEASE
$ mkdir -p repos/dist/release/incubator/netbeans
$ cd repos/dist/release/incubator/netbeans
$ svn checkout https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/netbeans
Then move the candidate to the release area:
$ svn move $RELEASE/repos/dist/dev/incubator/netbeans/<candidate> .
And then commit the move:
$cd $RELEASE/repos/dist
$ svn commit -m "<commitmessage>" dev/incubator/netbeans/ release/incubator/netbeans/
