   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 sha1sum 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. publish Stage the release artifacts to Apache Nexus (see ZOOKEEPER-1430 - this page should be updated once that JIRA is resolved)the Apache Nexus repository

   1. Create ~/.m2/settings.xml

      Code Block

      <settings>   <servers>      <server>        <id>apache.snapshots.https</id>        <username>XXXXXXX</username>        <password>XXXXXXXX</password>      </server>      <server>        <id>apache.staging.https</id>        <username>XXXXXXX</username>        <password>XXXXXXX</password>      </server>    </servers>    <profiles>      <profile>        <id>gpg</id>        <properties>          <gpg.passphrase>XXXXXXX</gpg.passphrase>        </properties>      </profile>    </profiles> </settings>
