This page describes how to make a release of Apache Bigtop (incubating). Most of the content is shamelessly stolen from the the Whirr release process – thanks Whirr team!

Here is an example email:

...

• Sign packages

  • On Debian systems create the signature for the top-level Release fil

    Code Block
    gpg -u <you key ID> -ab o Release.gpg Release

  • On RPM-bases distros create ~/.rpmmacors files (due to a bug, RPM can not use DSA keys longer than 1024 bytes, so you better use a buggy RSA for that)

    Code Block
    % cat > ~/.rpmmacros <<_EOF %_signature gpg %_gpg_name <you signing key ID> _EOF % rpmsign --resign [fedora,redhat,opensuse,sles]/*/x86_64/**/**/*rpm

  • Sign *.repo and *list files

    Code Block
    % gpg --sign -a [fedora,redhat,opensuse,sles]/*/x86_64/**/bigtop.[repo,list]

  • Sync signed packages to bigtop.s3.amazonaws.com (ask a previous release manager about the details and credentials). Be aware: just sync apt/ directory for *.deb distributions, otherwise you'll copy two versions of the packages.

  • Commit the repo files to the svn next to the X.Y.Z release sources (ToDo)
