1. Preparing for release candidates:

Step 1.

...

Prepare Release Notes (bug fixes, features added)

Draft release notes which should include the list of new features and bug fixes, along with limitations, known issues, credits, etc.

...

As per the Apache documentation, verify that the release candidate artifacts satisfy the following:

• • PGP signatures and SHA256/MD5 checksum verification

Example (performed on a Macbook Pro: brew install gpg2 coreutils):

...

• • Code Block
    svn co https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/mxnet && cd mxnet/#.#.#.rc0

...

• • brew install

...

• • gpg coreutils gpg --import ../KEYS

gpg --verify ./apache-mxnet-src-0.11.0.rc3-incubating.tar.gz.asc
gsha512sum --check  ./apache-mxnet-src-0.11.0.rc1-incubating.tar.gz.sha512
gmd5sum --check ./apache-mxnet-src-0.11.0.rc3-incubating.tar.gz.md5
