+### Manually releasing
+
+If for some reason, you lost access to CI or otherwise cannot get automation to work, bear in mind this is a normal maven project, and can be released accordingly. The main thing to understand is that libraries are not GPG signed here (it happens at bintray), and also that there is a utility to synchronise to maven central. Note that if for some reason [bintray is down](https://status.bintray.com/), the below will not work.
+
+```bash
+# First, set variable according to your personal credentials. These would normally be decrypted from .travis.yml
+BINTRAY_USER=your_github_account
+BINTRAY_KEY=xxx-https://bintray.com/profile/edit-xxx
+SONATYPE_USER=your_sonatype_account
+SONATYPE_PASSWORD=your_sonatype_password
+VERSION=xx-version-to-release-xx
+
+# now from latest master, prepare the release. We are intentionally deferring pushing commits
+./mvnw --batch-mode -s ./.settings.xml -Prelease -nsu -DreleaseVersion=$VERSION -Darguments="-DskipTests -Dlicense.skip=true" release:prepare  -DpushChanges=false
+
+# once this works, deploy and synchronize to maven central
+git checkout $VERSION
+./mvnw --batch-mode -s ./.settings.xml -Prelease -nsu -DskipTests deploy
+./mvnw --batch-mode -s ./.settings.xml -nsu -N io.zipkin.centralsync-maven-plugin:centralsync-maven-plugin:sync
+
+# if all the above worked, clean up stuff and push the local changes.
+./mvnw release:clean
+git checkout master
+git push
+git push --tags
+```
