• Build the projects with maven (we are skipping runit the unit tests here, but you should run them at least once on the release branch before continuing)

  Code Block
  mvn clean install -DskipTests

  
  

• You should have the jar files and also the tarballs built. The two tarball is available at:
  • zookeeper-assembly/target/zookeeper-X.Y.Z-bin-package.tar.gz
  • zookeeper-assembly/target/zookeeper-X.Y.Z-source-package.tar.gz

• Sign the tarballs:

  Code Block
  gpg --armor --output zookeeper-X.Y.Z.tar.gz.asc --detach-sig zookeeper-X.Y.Z.tar.gz

  
  

• Check that release file looks ok - e.g. install it and run examples from tutorial.
  • untar the release artifact in a test directory

• Copy release files to a public place and ensure they are readable. Note that home.apache.org only supports SFTP, so this may be easier with a graphical SFTP client like Nautilus, Konqueror, etc.
  

  Code Block
  sftp home.apache.org > cd public_html > mkdir zookeeper-X.Y.Z-candidate-0 > cd zookeeper-X.Y.Z-candidate-0 > put zookeeper-X.Y.Z.tar.gz* > bye

  
  

Publishing

Once three PMC members have voted for a release, it may be published.
