Create the Release Candidate

Prepare Tarballs

1. 1. Tag your release: (or create a release branch)

      git tag -a <tag name> <commit SHA> -m "<message for the tag>" 
      push to origin:
      git push origin <tag name> -m "<tag description message>"

2. Make a tarball and gzip:
   

   git archive -o ../apache-hawq-src-<your release name>.tar --prefix=apache-hawq-src-<your release name>/ <your tag/branch name>
   gzip ../apache-hawq-src-<your release name>.tar

   Example:

   $ git archive -o ../apache-hawq-src-2.1.0.0-incubating.tar --prefix=apache-hawq-src-2.1.0.0-incubating/ 2.1.0.0-incubating
   $ ls -al ../apache-hawq-src-2.1.0.0-incubating.tar
   -rw-r--r-- 1 espino staff 183347200 Jan 10 11:02 ../apache-hawq-src-2.1.0.0-incubating.tar
   $ gzip ../apache-hawq-src-2.1.0.0-incubating.tar
   $ ls -al ../apache-hawq-src-2.1.0.0-incubating.tar.gz
   -rw-r--r-- 1 espino staff 35214063 Jan 10 11:02 ../apache-hawq-src-2.1.0.0-incubating.tar.gz
   
   

3.  Prepare MD5, SHA256 and ASC files from the tarball
   

   md5 apache-hawq-src-<your release name>.tar.gz > apache-hawq-src-<your release name>.tar.gz.md5
   shasum -a 256 apache-hawq-src-<your release name>.tar.gz > apache-hawq-src-<your release name>.tar.gz.sha256 
   gpg --detach-sign -a apache-hawq-src-<your release name>.tar.gz

   Example:

   $ md5 apache-hawq-src-2.1.0.0-incubating.tar.gz > apache-hawq-src-2.1.0.0-incubating.tar.gz.md5
   $ shasum -a 256 apache-hawq-src-2.1.0.0-incubating.tar.gz > apache-hawq-src-2.1.0.0-incubating.tar.gz.sha256
   $ gpg --detach-sign -a apache-hawq-src-2.1.0.0-incubating.tar.gz

   You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
   user: "Edward Bartolo Espino (CODE SIGNING KEY) <espino@apache.org>"
   4096-bit RSA key, ID 57325522, created 2017-01-09
   
   $ ls -al apache-hawq-src-2.1.0.0-incubating*

   -rw-r--r-- 1 espino staff 35214063 Jan 10 11:04 apache-hawq-src-2.1.0.0-incubating.tar.gz
   -rw-r--r-- 1 espino staff 819 Jan 10 11:09 apache-hawq-src-2.1.0.0-incubating.tar.gz.asc
   -rw-r--r-- 1 espino staff 83 Jan 10 11:10 apache-hawq-src-2.1.0.0-incubating.tar.gz.md5
   -rw-r--r-- 1 espino staff 84 Jan 10 11:10 apache-hawq-src-2.1.0.0-incubating.tar.gz.sha256

4. Retrieve the subversion dev incubator hawq repo
   Example: svn checkout https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/hawq/ --username=<your user name>
5. create a local folder for the release (e.g. 2.0.0-0-incubating.RC1) in svn. We use apache's distribution repo: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/hawq/
6. move the files into the release folder on local disk.
7. svn add <release folder>
8. svn commit
