Prerequisites for Managing A Release

Create a GPG Key (https://www.apache.org/dev/release-signing)

Code Block
languagebash
$ sudo apt-get install gnupg
$ gpg --gen-key # Create new key
$ gpg --fingerprint # Get key digest
# Upload digest to id.apache.org (gpg --fingerprint)
$ gpg --send-key <KEY ID> # Distribute key
$ gpg --output pwendell.asc --export -a <KEY_ID>
# copy public key to Apache web space, name it <KEY_ID>.asc
# Create an FOAF file and add it via svn (see http://people.apache.org/foaf/)
#    -> should include key fingerprint
# Eventually key will show up on apache people page (e.g. https://people.apache.org/keys/committer/pwendell.asc)
