I've run through the release process using: ./assemble/build.sh --create-release-candidate
The artifacts have been published and the branch pushed to the Accumulo repository. This test release only contains the code for 1.7.3, other artifacts (release notes, web pages,...) have not be added / modified. I did this to 1) see if it would actually work for me, 2) to help determine what configuration / steps I have incorrect. Following the instructions for creating a release, I'm a little lost with the instructions versus what the build script did. For example, "One unwanted side-effect of this approach is that after creating this branch, but before invoking release:perform, you must edit the release.properties to add the -rcN suffix to the value of scm.tag." Is this something that I need to do between stages of the script? Answering the prompts seemed to push things through and did not require additional information. Looking at the referenced keys (https://www.apache.org/dist/accumulo/KEYS) my key is not in that file - is this something I need to add via a separate update / commit? Anyway, for reference, the unmodified, generated email message follows, not expecting a vote on this version: ============================================================ Subject: [VOTE] Accumulo 1.7.3-rc0 ============================================================ Accumulo Developers, Please consider the following candidate for Accumulo 1.7.3.
