+=== Convenience downloads for your release
+
+Clone this SVN repository: `https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/james`
+
+Create a folder for your release:
+
+[source]
+----
+mkdir server/3.x.x
+cd server/3.x.x
+svn add .
+----
+
+Move the release zipped data in this folder:
+
+- The convenience ZIPs needs to be downloaded from there staged repository. This includes server/app.
+- sources can be obtained from GitHub tag
+
+I use the following script to set up the uploads:
+
+[source]
+----
+% cat /usr/local/bin/auto_sig
+#/bin/bash
+
+# This quick bash scipt intend to help commiters
+# preparing artifacts for SVN upload.
+#
+# Performs:
+#  - Hashing (sha1 + sha512)
+#  - Signing (main)
+#  - Position SVN properties
+#
+# $1: file to prepare
+# $2: Key footprint to use for signing
+
+sha512sum $1 > $1.sha512
+gpg -u $2 --output $1.asc --detach-sig $1
+svn add $1
+svn propset svn:mime-type application/octet-stream $1
+svn add $1.sha512
+svn add $1.asc
+svn propset svn:mime-type application/octet-stream $1.asc
+----
+
+Once done it is time to commit! `svn commit -m "Upload convenience artifacts for James release 3.x.x"`
+
+The convenience binaries will then be available. Checks that the links of the download page works.
