Corey J. Nolet commented on ACCUMULO-3156:
------------------------------------------

My nodes thus far:


Add the next version to JIRA.

A PGP key needs to be made. GnuPGP is one way to do this. More details can be found on the Apache Guide for New Committers.

Once the key is made, you will need to use gpg-agent or something similar to cache your key and credentials so that the maven gpg plugin can properly sign all the artifacts.

You will need to add your gpg public key to the keys file:
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/accumulo


The following was placed in my settings.xml. Do this only if you are on a secure box. If not, use the instructions from this link:

<!-- To publish a release -->

Go to the "Road Map" in JIRA under the Accumulo project and click on "Release Notes" under the unreleased version in question. Note that this will give you open tickets as well. One way to do this is to look @ all the open tickets for the version and remove them manually from the release notes. Depending on the type of release, it's possible now could be a good time to move the versions of the JIRA tickets to the next unreleased bugfix for the major version line you are releasing.
