1. Tag the release:

   No Format
   svn move https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/hive/tags/release-X.Y.Z-rcR \ https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/hive/tags/release-X.Y.Z -m "HiveX.Y.Z release."

2. Copy release files to the distribution directory and make them writable by the hive group.

   No Format
   ssh people.apache.org cp -pR public_html/hive-X.Y.Z-candidate-0/ /www/www.apache.org/dist/hive/hive-X.Y.Z cd /www/www.apache.org/dist/hive chgrp -R hive hive-X.Y.Z chmod -R g+w hive-X.Y.Z

3. The release directory usually contains just two releases, the most recent from two branches, with a link named 'stable' to the most recent recommended version.

   No Format
   ssh people.apache.org cd /www/www.apache.org/dist/hive rm -rf hive-A.B.C; rm stable ln -s hive-A.B.D stable

4. Wait 24 hours for release to propagate to mirrors.
5. Prepare to edit the website.

   No Format
   svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/hive/site

6. Copy the new release docs to publish/docs/rX.Y.Z:

   Code Block
   tar xvf hive-X.Y.Z.tar.gz '*/docs' mv hive-X.Y.Z/docs publish/docs/rX.Y.Z svn add publish/docs/rX.Y.Z

7. If this is a bugfix release, delete the documentation for the obsoleted release.

   Code Block
   svn rm publish/docs/rX.Y.Z-1

8. Update the documentation links in author/src/documentation/content/xdocs/site.xml.
9. Update the release news in author/src/documentation/content/xdocs/releases.xml.
10. Update publish/.htaccess with the current release and any new redirects for obsoleted releases.
11. Regenerate the site, review it, then commit it. The live site is automatically deployed from subversion after a few minutes.

    Code Block
    ant -Dforrest.home=/usr/local/forrest -Djava5.home=/usr/local/jdk1.5 firefox publish/index.html svn commit -m "Updated site for release X.Y.Z."

12. Update JIRA
    1. Ensure that only issues in the "Fixed" state have a "Fix Version" set to release X.Y.Z.
    2. Release the version. Visit the "Administer Project" page, then the "Manage versions" page. You need to have the "Admin" role in Hive's Jira for this step and the next.
    3. Close issues resolved in the release. Disable mail notifications for this bulk change.
13. Login to the Apache Nexus server and mark the release candidate artifacts as released.
14. Send a release announcement to Hive user and dev lists as well as the Apache announce list. This email should be sent from your Apache email address:
