• The process of cutting a release requires a number of tools to be locally installed (maven, jekyll, etc). Ubuntu users can install those tools via apt-get. However, it may be most convenient to use a EC2 instance based on the AMI ami-4c721b7c b897fe88 (available is US-West, has Scala 2.10.3 and SBT 0.13.1 installed). This has all the necessary tools installed. Mac users are especially recommended to use a EC2 instance instead of attempting to install all the necessary tools. If you want to prepare your own EC2 instance (different version of Scala, SBT, etc.), follow the steps given in the Miscellaneous section (see at the end of this document).
• Consider using CPU-optimized instances, which may provide better bang for the buck.

• Transfer your GPG keys from your home machine to the EC2 instance.

  Code Block
  language bash
  # == On home machine == gpg --list-keys # Identify the KEY_ID of the key you generated gpg --output pubkey.gpg --export <KEY_ID> gpg --output ---export-secret-key <KEY_ID> | cat pubkey.gpg - | gpg --armor --output keys.asc --symmetric --cipher-algo AES256 # Copy keys.asc to EC2 instance   # == On EC2 machine == gpg --no-use-agent --output - keys.asc | gpg --import rm keys.asc

• Download appropriate version of Spark that has the right scripts related to the releases.

• The release voting happens in two stages. First, a vote takes place on the Apache Spark developers list (the podling PMC or PPMC is voting), then one takes place on the general@i.a.o list (the IPMC). I used the same template for both votes. Look at past vote threads to see how this goes. Once the vote is finished you should also send out a summary e-mail with the totals (subject “[RESULT] [VOTE]...”).
• If possible, attach a draft of the release notes with the e-mail
• Attach the CHANGES.txt file in the e-mail

• NOTE: This will change once we graduate and there will be a single vote
