Creating a key pair is beyond the scope of this document, but the relevant Apache documentation can be found at: + You will need a GPG key pair to sign the release. + If you do not have one already, see the Useful Resources section for more help. - * [[http://www.apache.org/dev/openpgp.html]] - * [[http://www.apache.org/dev/release-signing.html]] - * [[http://www.apache.org/info/verification.html]]. - The important points after creating your key are to make sure that it has been uploaded to a public key server and that it gets added to [[http://www.apache.org/dist/couchdb/KEYS]]. Optionally, you should get your key signed so that it is part of the "web of trust." Google around for key signing parties for more information about this. + It is generally better if your key is also signed by other people. + + Your public key must be added to: + + * http://www.apache.org/dist/couchdb/KEYS + + You should also upload your key to a public key server for good measure. Edit Makefile.am so that `gpg` uses your key ID. + + ''We should probably make this a command line option.'' You can find your key ID by running: {{{ gpg --list-keys }}} + === Creating the Release Artefacts === @@ -147, +154 @@ * http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html * http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html#best-practice + * http://www.apache.org/dev/openpgp.html + * http://www.apache.org/dev/release-signing.html + * http://www.apache.org/info/verification.html
