1. Check out release branch

   Code Block
   git checkout branch-1.2.0

2. Create tag on this commit to identify precise point where the RC was generated and push this tag to main repository

   Code Block
   git tag -a release-1.2.0 -m "Sentry 1.2.0 incubating release" #Make sure compiles/tests run fine and rat check is fine mvn clean install -DskipTests mvn test mvn verify -DskipTests (to do the rat check) git push origin release-1.2.0

3. If an rc1, rc2, etc is needed, delete that tag before creating a new one:

   Code Block
   git tag -d release-1.2.0 git push origin :refs/tags/release-1.2.0

    

4. Create temporary directory where you'll be preparing all required artifacts

   Code Block
   mkdir -p /tmp/sentry-release-preparations

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

   Code Block
   git archive --format=tar --prefix=apache-sentry-1.2.0-incubating-src/ HEAD | gzip > /tmp/sentry-release-preparations/apache-sentry-1.24.0-incubating-src.tar.gz

Sanity Check

1. Make sure code compiles and tests pass on the untared src.

   Code Block
   cd /tmp/sentry-release-preparations tar -xvf apache-sentry-1.2.0-incubating-src.tar.gz  cd apache-sentry-1.2.0-incubating-src mvn clean install -DskipTests mvn test mvn verify -DskipTests (to do the rat check)

2. Make sure the tar and the rc match 

   Code Block
   #Do a fresh clone of the tag git clone https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator-sentry.git cd incubator-sentry/ git checkout tags/release-1.2.0 cd .. diff -r incubator-sentry /tmp/sentry-release-preparations/

3. Check out the candidate

   Code Block
   git checkout release-X.Y.Z

4. Generate a tarball 

   Code Block
   mvn clean install -DskipTests

    

5. 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

    

6.  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
   cd apache-sentry-1.2.0-incubating-src mvn test

Signatures and Checksums

All artifacts must be signed and checksummed. In order to sign a release you will need a PGP key. You should get your key signed by a few other people. You will also need to recv their keys from a public key server. See the Apache release signing page for more details. If you add your PGP key fingerprint to your Apache profile, your key should automatically be added to https://people.apache.org/keys/group/sentry.asc
