Release process.
Note: The first release candidate is rc0. The following documented process assumes rc0, but replace it with the appropriate rc number as required.
Checkout the release branch
git checkout branch-x.y.z
Make sure it passes the apache rat tool.
mvn clean apache-rat:check
Create a Release Tag from the release branch
git tag -a release-x.y.z-rc0 -m 'Ambari x.y.z RC0' git push --tags origin
Create a tarball
cd ambari-git-x.y.z git clean -f -x -d cd .. cp -R ambari-git-x.y.z ambari-x.y.z-incubating tar --exclude=.git -zcvf ambari-x.y.z-incubating.tar.gz ambari-x.y.z-incubating
Sign the tarball
gpg2 --armor --output ambari-{release_number}-incubating.tar.gz.asc --detach-sig ambari-{release_number}-incubating.tar.gz
Generate MD5 checksums:
md5sum ambari-X.Y.Z-incubating.tar.gz > ambari-X.Y.Z-incubating.tar.gz.md5 sha1sum ambari-X.Y.Z-incubating.tar.gz > ambari-X.Y.Z-incubating.tar.gz.sha
or
openssl md5 ambari-X.Y.Z-incubating.tar.gz > ambari-X.Y.Z-incubating.tar.gz.md5 openssl sha1 ambari-X.Y.Z-incubating.tar.gz > ambari-X.Y.Z-incubating.tar.gz.sha
