4. Create source artifact and move it to your temporary directory (TODO: git archive?)

mvn clean verify package
mv sentry-dist/target/apache-sentry-1.2.0-incubating-src.tar.gz /tmp/sentry-release-preparations

Sanity Check

1. Check out the candidate

   Code Block
   git checkout release-X.Y.Z

2. Generate a tarball

   Code Block
   mvn clean install -DskipTests

    

3. Unpack the source tarball

   Code Block
   cd sentry-dist/target rm -rf ./apache-sentry-1.2.0-incubating-src tar xzvf apache-sentry-1.2.0-incubating-src.tar.gz

    

4.  Do another full build inside the source tarball. This time, allow all unit tests & integration tests to run and also include the docs

   Code Block
   mvn clean install -DskipTestscd apache-sentry-1.2.0-incubating-srcmvn test

...

ssh people.apache.org "mkdir -p ~/public_html/sentry-1.2.0-rc0"
scp * people.apache.org:~/public_html/sentry-1.2.0-rc0

Some more things to verify before sending out an email:

• Verify Signatures and hashes
• DISCLAIMER correct
• Filename contains "incubating"
• NOTICE and LICENCE (year etc)
• All source file have correct headers (Rat check should be clean)
• No jar files or the like in the release
• Can compile from source
• git tag matches the released bits (diff -rf)
