• Perform an git clone and switch to the correct branch
  • git clone https://github.com/apache/tomcat /c/releases/asf-tomcat or git clone -b 9.0.x git clone https://github.com/apache/tomcat /c/releases/asf-tomcat
  • cd /c/releases/asf-tomcat
  • git checkout 9.0.x
  • git pull

• Edit "build.properties.default" and change the line version.suffix=-dev to version.suffix=

  • This can be done with sed -i.bak "s/^version.suffix=.*/version.suffix=/" build.properties.default
• Edit "webapps/docs/changelog.xml" and remove rtext="in development" from the latest version
  
  • This can be done with xsltproc --param asfid '[your asf id]' release.xsl webapps\docs\changelog.xml > changelog-new.xml && move /Y changelog-new.xml webapps\docs\changelog.xml  where release.xsl can be found here. (Unfortunately, XSLT ends up removing the DTD-style markup from the file, so it can't be used, yet).
  • Remember that notepad.exe will remove UTF-8 Byte-Order Marks (BOMs). Use write.exe or Notepad++ instead.
• Commit these changes

  • git commit -a -m "Tag 9.0.94"

  • git tag 9.0.94

  • git push origin 9.0.94

• Check the diff mailed to the dev list
• Reset to the 9.0.x branch

• GPG should be configured to use your Apache code signing key by default
• I always ensured c:/temp/libs was empty so that the build had to download all the dependencies
• This does not include the signing of the Windows installer, which must be done using https://one.digicert.com/ and https://infra.apache.org/digicert-use.html which is automated during the build process once the Tomcat PMC key is accessible by using jsign. (Working? Try setting do.codesigning=true in build.properties).
• The logs for the Windows signing are in ~/.signingmanager/logs on Linux
• If you get an error signing the installer/uninstaller "Cannot load keystore ~/.digicertone/pkcs11properties.cfg" then you probably don't have your environment variables set properly.
