One more general comment that I did not know what to do with. Steps 6 and 7 (checksums and sigs) and 11 (upload) involve quite a bit of manual typing that is time consuming and can lead to errors. For 6 and 7, I used the script below (please do not make fun of my limited bash skills ;-). I have another one that does verification separately (presumably from a different user ID). It would be nice to also have a script to create the symlinks in 11 automatically. Does anyone have this? Should these scripts a) go in committers/tools b) be housed somewhere in j-c c) be summarized / embedded / linked in the instructions or d) none of the above?
I just committed three shell scripts to committers/tools/releases:
sign_and_hash.sh -- creates checksums and sigs symlinks.sh -- generates symlinks verify_sigs.sh -- verifies checksums and sigs
NB: committers has moved to svn. The URI is
https://svn.apache.org/repos/private/committers
If you haven't used the ASF svn repo, you will need to run svnpasswd from ssh to get set up.
