1. Build the release & run unit tests. This is captured in http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/zookeeper/nightly/hudsonBuildZooKeeperRelease.sh?view=markup.

   Code Block
   ant test package tar

2. Untar the generated zookeeper-X.Y.Z.tar.gz and do the following:
   1. Sign the toplevel zookeeper-X.Y.Z.jar

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

   2. Generate the MD5/SHA1 checksums for each file in dist-maven

      Code Block
      md5sum file > file.md5 sha1 file > file.sha1

   3. Sign each file in dist-maven

      Code Block
      gpg --armor --output file.asc --detach-sig file

3. Tar/GZ the release directory as zookeeper-X.Y.Z.tar.gz

   Code Block
   tar -caf zookeeper-X.Y.Z.tar.gz zookeeper-X.Y.Z

4. Generate the MD5/SHA1 checksums for the release artifact.

   Code Block
   md5sum zookeeper-X.Y.Z.tar.gz > zookeeper-X.Y.Z.tar.gz.md5 sha1sha1sum zookeeper-X.Y.Z.tar.gz > zookeeper-X.Y.Z.tar.gz.sha1

5. Sign the release

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

6. Check that release file looks ok - e.g. install it and run examples from tutorial.
   1. untar the release artifact in a test directory
7. Copy release files to a public place.

   Code Block
   ssh people.apache.org mkdir public_html/zookeeper-X.Y.Z-candidate-0 scp -p zookeeper-X.Y.Z.tar.gz* people.apache.org:public_html/zookeeper-X.Y.Z-candidate-0

8. Call a release vote on dev at zookeeper.apache.org.
