Prerequisites
Before entering into this process you need to ensure you will be able to cryptographically sign the final result in such a way that others can validate the signature. This can be a confusing process. Here are links to several documents that should help.

Discuss
Send a [DISCUSS] email to the dev@knox list proposing a release.
Prepare
In preparation for each release there are a number of sub-steps required to ensure that that the project's repository is in a suitable state for branching.
Update CHANGES
Update CHANGES.txt with release date (Release X.Y - MM/dd/yyyy) and (if needed) add additional changelog entries
Update documentation
Build, Test and Push Changes
git pull git commit --all --message "Prepare for branch." ant verify git push
Tag Branch Point and Branch
git tag --annotate v{X.Y.Z} --message "Branch point for v{X.Y.Z}" git push origin --tags git checkout --branch v{X.Y.Z} git push --set-upstream origin v{X.Y.Z}
Clone & Checkout Branch
git clone https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator-knox.git knox-{X.Y.Z} cd knox-{X.Y.Z} git checkout --branch v{X.Y.Z}
Update version numbers on master branch
(from A.B.C-SNAPSHOT to D.E.F-SNAPSHOT)
Update version numbers on release branch
(from X.Y.Z-SNAPSHOT to X.Y.Z)
Build & Verify
ant verify
Sanity Test
Do some basic manual testing to see if release looks ok. For example do and install and run through a few of the samples.
Sign
ant sign
Verify Signatures
Verify the hashes and signatures. First change into the distribution directory.
cd target/{X.Y.Z}
Verify the signatures for both the source and binary distribution. Note: This assumes that gpg is installed.
gpg --verify knox-{X.Y.Z}-src.zip.asc knox-{X.Y.Z}-src.zip gpg --verify knox-{X.Y.Z}.zip.asc knox-{X.Y.Z}.zip
Verify the SHA-1 hashes for both the source and binary distribution. Note: This assumes a Linux or MacOS environment with openssl installed.
cat knox-{X.Y.Z}-src.zip.sha && openssl sha1 knox-{X.Y.Z}-src.zip cat knox-{X.Y.Z}.zip.sha && openssl sha1 knox-{X.Y.Z}.zip
Verify the MD5 digest for both the source and binary distribution. Note: This assumes a Linux or MacOS environment with openssl installed.
cat knox-{X.Y.Z}-src.zip.md5 && openssl md5 knox-{X.Y.Z}-src.zip cat knox-{X.Y.Z}.zip.md5 && openssl md5 knox-{X.Y.Z}.zip
Tag Release Candidate
git tag --annotate vX.Y.Z-rcN --message "vX.Y.Z release candidate N" git push origin --tags
Stage
Follow the instructions output by the sign step above. Basically execute this command.
scp -r target/X.Y.Z {release-manager}@people.apache.org:public_html/knox
Vote
Send a [VOTE] email to the dev@knox list. A template was output by the sign step above as target/vote.eml
.
