Prerequisites

Before entering into this process you need to ensure you will be able to cryptographically sign the final result in such a way that others can validate the signature. This can be a confusing process. Here are links to several documents that should help.

Send a [DISCUSS] email to the dev@knox list proposing a release.

Prepare

In preparation for each release there are a number of sub-steps required to ensure that that the project's repository is in a suitable state for branching.

Start with clean local repo

This can be a fresh clone or just a repo that has no pending changes or extraneous files in.

Switch to the branch that you will branch from

In this step we need to check out the previous release branch or some other existing branch from which we will create our new one.

List existing branches:
