Robert Joseph Evans commented on HADOOP-8914:
---------------------------------------------
That would definitely be a good start. Part of a release is also signing and
uploading the JARs to Nexus (The maven repo), so that would also have to be
done manually then.

> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Task
> Reporter: Eli Collins
>
> Hadoop releases are currently created manually by the RM (following
> http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/HowToRelease), which means various aspects of
> the build are ad hoc, eg what tool chain was used to compile the java and
> native code varies from release to release. Other steps can be inconsistent
> since they're done manually eg recently the checksums for an RC were
> incorrect. Let's use the jenkins toolchain and create a job that automates
> creating release builds so that the only manual thing about releasing is
> publishing to mvn central.
