NiFi MiNiFi C++ Release Helper Guide

1. Please find the associated guidance to help those interested in
   validating/verifying the release so they can vote.
   

   # (Optional) You can follow the steps below in a docker container,
   # so you don't need to install the build dependencies on your system
   # This example uses Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
   docker run --rm -it ubuntu:24.04 /bin/bash
   
   # Install the necessary utilities:
   # On Ubuntu 24.04 LTS:
   apt update && apt -y install wget gnupg python3
   
   # Download latest KEYS file:
   wget https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/nifi/KEYS 
   
   # Import keys file:
   gpg --import KEYS
   
   # Download nifi-minifi-cpp source release artifacts for review:
   VERSION=0.99.0

   # Verify the signature
   gpg --verify nifi-minifi-cpp-${VERSION}-source.tar.gz.asc
   
   # Verify the hashes match the source and what was
   # provided in the vote email thread
   sha256sum nifi-minifi-cpp-${VERSION}-source.tar.gz
   sha512sum nifi-minifi-cpp-${VERSION}-source.tar.gz
   
   # Extract nifi-minifi-cpp-${VERSION}-source.tar.gz
   tar xvzf nifi-minifi-cpp-${VERSION}-source.tar.gz
   
   # Install build dependencies and verify the build works
   # including tests and linter checks
   
   # Option 1. Python bootstrap (Linux and Windows)
   # Install the dependencies of the bootstrap, and make sure sudo is usable by the current user
   apt -y install sudo python3-venv git
   
   # Use the bootstrap/py_bootstrap.sh script (or bootstrap/py_bootstrap.bat on Windows) to 
   # select features, build options, install dependencies
   # The interface will ask for confirmation before running any commands with side-effects
   cd nifi-minifi-cpp-${VERSION}-source
   bootstrap/py_bootstrap.sh
   
   # Select build type, build options and features in the menu
   # and select One Click Build to build
   
   # run tests and linter after the build
   cd build
   ctest -j16 && cmake --build . --parallel 4 --target linter
   exit # end of Option 1
   
   # Option 2. Use the following commands for manual dependency installation and build: (Linux only)
   apt -y install tar build-essential libtool git libpython3-dev flex bison cmake
   cd nifi-minifi-cpp-${VERSION}-source
   mkdir build && cd build && cmake ..
   cmake --build . --parallel $(nproc) --target package
   ctest -j16 --output-on-failure
   cmake --build . --parallel 4 --target linter
   # or:
   # ./bootstrap.sh && cd build && make package && make test && make linter
   
   # On Windows:
   # Install dependencies as documented:
   # https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=139627733 
   
   # cd nifi-minifi-cpp-${VERSION}-source
   # win_build_vs.bat build /P
   
   # - Verify the contents contain a good README, NOTICE, and LICENSE.
   # - Verify the git commit ID is correct
   # - Verify the RC was branched off the correct git commit ID
   # - Look at the resulting convenience binary as found in
   #   build/nifi-minifi-cpp-0.99.0.tar.gz or build/nifi-minifi-cpp.msi
   # - Make sure the README, NOTICE, and LICENSE are present and correct
   # - Run the resulting convenience binary and make sure it works as expected (you can use some example flows for verification under the ${MINIFI_SOURCE_ROOT}/examples directory)
   # - Send a response to the vote thread indicating a +1, 0, -1
   #   based on your findings.

   
   Thank you for your time and effort to validate the release!
