1. Checkout the release branch.
   

   
   

2. If you are using GPG Tools >= 2.1, export your secret key to a file to be used by Gradle. You can export it with `gpg --export-secret-keys >~/.gnupg/secring.gpg`
            
3. Log in to repository.apache.org and select staging repositories. Find "orgapachegeode-####" and clink on "Drop"
   

4. Clean and build the artifacts. Run this command on a machine using GUI as you will be prompted to enter PGP and ASF LDAP password (Apache password). You will see messages like "Could not find metadata org.apache.geode:geode-cq/maven-metadata.xml" on your terminal. Ignore them.

   Code Block
   language bash
   git clean -fdx && ./gradlew clean build publish -Paskpass -Psigning.keyId=last_8_characters_of_your_gpg_fingerprint -Psigning.secretKeyRingFile=/Users/yourusername/.gnupg/secring.gpg mavenUsername=your_apache_ldap_username

   
   

5. Sign the source release.

   Code Block
   language bash
   cd ${GEODE_SRC}/geode-assembly/build/distributions/* gpg --armor -u {KEY ID} -b apache-geode-{version}-src.tgz

   Copy and release artifacts to ASF dist repo. DO NOT DELETE THE FOLDERS CREATED IN THIS STEP - THEY ARE NEEDED FOR THE FINAL RELEASE.

   Code Block
   language bash
   #create a new empty directory svn checkout https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist --depth empty svn update --set-depth infinity --parents dist/dev/geode svn update --set-depth infinity --parents dist/release/geode cd dist/dev/geode # copy the KEYS file from the apache-geode release branch folder in your system. cp ${GEODE_SRC}/KEYS . svn commit -m "Updating Apache Geode KEYS file" mkdir {version}.RC# cp ${GEODE_SRC}/geode-assembly/build/distributions/* {version}.RC# svn add {version}.RC# svn commit -m "Releasing Apache Geode {version}.RC# distribution"

   
   

6. Verify that all the artifacts have been uploaded to the nexus repository by logging into repository.apache.org and then click on close. Example:
   

7. In the release branch folder tag the commit. All Release Candidates start with the number 1 eg. RC1. Be careful as rel/ folder is protected, once we push the release tag to server, it cannot be modified. Any other change will have to be moved to the next RC number.

   Code Block
   language bash
   git config user.email "email_address_associated_with_your_gpg_key" git tag -s rel/v{version}.RC# -m "Release candidate # for 1.0.0" git push origin rel/v{version}.RC#

   
   

8. Now checkout the repo for geode-examples and create a release branch.

   Code Block
   title Create release branch
   git checkout -b release/{version}

   
   

9. Update the version number in gradle.properties of geode-examples

   Code Block
   version = 1.7.0 geodeVersion = 1.7.0

   
   

10. In the geode-examples folder, build and run it with the apache-geode version that was uploaded to the ASF dist repo.

    Code Block
    # first build the release artifacts, specifying the RC release location and staging repository ./gradlew -PsignArchives -PgeodeReleaseUrl=https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/geode/{version}.RC# -PgeodeRepositoryUrl=https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachegeode-{NNNN} build runAll #if all tests pass then continue ahead, else kindly fix the issues

    
    

11. If there are no failures, then upload the artifacts to ASF dist repo using the folder created in step 6

    Code Block
    # then upload the release artifacts for distribution # go to the folder created in step 6 and copy the geode-example artifacts to it cd dist/dev/geode cp ${GEODE_EXAMPLES_SRC}/build/distributions/* {version}.RC# svn add {version}.RC#/apache-geode-examples-* svn commit -m "Adding examples to Apache Geode {version}.RC# distribution"

    
    

12. Tag the release candidate in geode-examples.

    Code Block
    # then tag the release candidate commit cd ${GEODE_EXAMPLES_SRC} git tag -s rel/v{version}.RC# -m "Release candidate # for 1.0.0" git push origin rel/v{version}.RC#

    
    

13. 
    

    Info
    If you are running on linux, you may see this error message: error: gpg failed to sign the data error: unable to sign the tag  If you get that error message, try to sign some random file so that gpg will unlock your keyring. After that the git tag -s should work.

    
    

14. Checkout geode-native from https://github.com/apache/geode-native. Then `cd` into the geode-native directory, create a build directory, configure cmake and generate the source distribution via cpack

    Code Block
    language bash
    mkdir build cd build cmake .. -DPRODUCT_VERSION={version} cpack -G TGZ --config CPackSourceConfig.cmake

    
    

15. This should have generated a tar file and a corresponding checksum file. Let's sign the package:

    Code Block
    language bash
    gpg --armor -u {key ID} -b apache-geode-native-{version}-Source.tar.gz

    Verify that the command created a new file called `apache-geode-native-{version}-Source.tar.gz.asc`.

16. Copy files into release distribution

    Code Block
    language bash
    cd dist/dev/geode cp ${GEODE_NATIVE_SRC}/build/apache-geode-native-{version}* {version}.RC# svn add {version}.RC#/apache-geode-native-* svn commit -m "Adding Geode Native source distribution to Apache Geode {version}.RC#"

    
    

17. 
    

    Code Block
    # then tag the release candidate commit cd ${GEODE_NATIVE_SRC} git tag -s rel/v{version}.RC# -m "Release candidate # for 1.0.0" git push origin rel/v{version}.RC#
