• tag all the files with a new RC tag, e.g. v2_5_1_RC1
• N.B. Tags must be immutable, i.e. must not be changed once created. A tag can be deleted if it is no longer needed, but must not be recreated.
  • If there is a problem with the contents of an RC tag, create a new tag, for example v2_5_1_RC2
  • If the tag is part of an ongoing release vote, do not delete it whilst the vote is ongoing, even if the vote is now using a later tag. It can be useful to be able to compare the contents of tags as part of the voting process.
  • Once the release vote is over, intermediate tags are no longer needed, and can be deleted.
  • If the tag has not been used in a release vote, it can be deleted immediately.
  • NB1. Don't remove a intermediate RC tag until all positive vote for new release.
  • NB2. Tag is immutable, if you must cancel and recreate a RC tag, add a new mark like v2_5_1_RC1a
• extract files from SVN using the tag into a new directory tree
• download jars needed to build: "ant download_jars"
• create distribution files:
  • ant distribution -lib=<libextra> -Djmeter.version=m.n -Duser.name=user-AT-apache.org
  • sign distribution files (gpg -ba file)
    • ex. gpg2 -u <id_key> -ba jakarta-jmeter-2.5.1_src.tgz
    • ex. gpg2 -u <id_key> -ba jakarta-jmeter-2.5.1_src.zip
    • ex. gpg2 -u <id_key> -ba jakarta-jmeter-2.5.1.tgz
    • ex. gpg2 -u <id_key> -ba jakarta-jmeter-2.5.1.zip
• Generate RAT report (example on Linux with Java)
  • java -jar $RAT_HOME/apache-rat-0.7.jar ./jakarta-jmeter-2.5.1.tgz > rat-report-jmeter-2.5.1RC1.txt
