Making a TEZ Release

= How To Release Tez =

== Create or Checkout the Release Branch ==

git checkout origin/branch-x.y.z

== Run Basic Release checks ==

mvn clean install -DskipTests=true
mvn clean apache-rat:check

== Update Version Number if Required ==

Update pom.xml in the top-level to change the version number.
Commit and push the version change.

== Create a Release Tag ==

git tag -a release-x.y.z-rc0 -m 'Tez x.y.z RC0'
git push --tags origin

== Deploy the jars to Staging ==

mvn deploy -Dgpg.passphrase=yourpassphrase

== Create a Release tarball for the Source ==

git clean -f -x -d
cd ..
cp -R tez-git-x.y.z tez-x.y.z-incubating
tar --exclude=.git -zcvf tez-x.y.z-incubating.tar.gz tez-x.y.z-incubating

== Sign the Release ==

gpg2 -armor --output tez

-incubating.tar.gz

== Generate MD5 checksums ==

md5sum tez-x.y.z-incubating.tar.gz > tez-x.y.z-incubating.tar.gz.md5
sha1sum tez-x.y.z-incubating.tar.gz > tez-x.y.z-incubating.tar.gz.sha

or

openssl md5 tez-x.y.z-incubating.tar.gz > tez-x.y.z-incubating.tar.gz.md5
openssl sha1 tez-x.y.z-incubating.tar.gz > tez-x.y.z-incubating.tar.gz.sha

== Upload Artifacts for Release Vote ==

The artifacts ( tarball, checksums ) need to be copied over to public_html/tez-release-rc/tez-x.y.z-rc0/ on people.apache.org.
