6. Call for incubator vote on the release candidate
If you are a new release manager, and you update KEYS files, you need to upload KEYS file to the official release repo, because the IPMC suggest that the KEYS file should be referenced from the public download location.
➜ svn co https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/pegasus/ dist-release-pegasus
➜ cd dist-release-pegasus
➜ cp {NEW KEYS FILE PATH} .
➜ svn update KEYS
➜ svn commit
The release repo update will be synced to download repo within 15 mins (http://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#upload-ci).
If you are not a new release manager, you didn't update KEYS files, please skip this step, and call for incubator vote.
Start a vote thread for an incubator-wide review. The vote is basically the same as the community vote with a slight difference that it sends to general@incubator.apache.org. So be careful before sending it.
