> 0.[FR++].0Metron Release Types
> There are two types of Metron releases:
> Feature Release (FR) - this is a release that has a significant step forward 
> in feature capability and is denoted by an upgrade of the second digit
> Maintenance Release (MR) - this is a set of patches and fixes that are issued 
> following the FR and is denoted by an upgrade of the third digit
> Release Naming Convention
> Metron build naming convention is as follows: 0.[FR].[MR]. We keep the 0. 
> notation to signify that the project is still under active development and we 
> will hold a community vote to go to 1.x at a future time
> Initiating a New Metron Release
> Immediately upon the release of the previous Metron release create two 
> branches: FR ++ and MR. Create the FR++ branch by incrementing the second 
> digit like so 0.[FR++].0. Create the MR branch for the previous Metron 
> release by incrementing the second digit of the previous release like so 
> 0.[FR].[MR]. All patches to the previous Metron release will be checked in 
> under the MR branch and where it makes sense also under the FR branch. All 
> new features will be checked in under the FR branch.
> Creating a Feature Release
> Step 1 - Initiate a discuss thread
> Prior to the release The Release manager should do the following (preferably 
> a month before the release):
> Make sure that the list of JIRAs slated for the release accurately reflects 
> to reflects the pull requests that are currently in master
> Construct an email to the Metron dev board ([email protected]) 
> which discusses with the community the desire to do a release. This email 
> should contain the following:
> The list of JIRAs slated for the release with descriptions (use the output of 
> git log and remove all the JIRAs from the last release’s changelog)
> A solicitation of JIRAs that should be included with the next release. Users 
> should rate them as must/need/good to have as well as volunteering.
> A release email template is provided here.
> Step 2 - Monitor and Verify JIRAs
> Once the community votes for additional JIRAs they want included in the 
> release verify that the pull requests are in before the release, close these 
> JIRAs and tag them with the release name. All pull requests and JIRAs that 
> were not slated for this release will go into the next releases. The release 
> manager should continue to monitor the JIRA to ensure that the timetable is 
> on track until the release date. On the release date the release manager 
> should message the Metron dev board ([email protected]) 
> announcing the code freeze for the release.
> Step 3 - Create the Release Branch and Increment Metron version
> Create an branch for the release (from a repo cloned from 
> https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator-metron.git). (assuming the 
> release is 0.[FR++].0 and working from master):
> git checkout -b Metron_0.[FR++].0
> git push --set-upstream origin Metron_0.[FR++].0
> File a JIRA to increment the Metron version to 0.[FR++].0. Either do it 
> yourself or have a community member increment the build version for you. You 
> can look at a pull request for a previous build to see how this is done. 
> METRON-533 - Up the version for release DONE
> Also, the release manager should have a couple of things set up:
> A SVN clone of the repo at 
> https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/metron, We will refer to 
> this as the dev repo. It will hold the release candidate artifacts
> A SVN clone of the repo at 
> https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/metron, We will refer to 
> this as the release repo. It will hold the release artifacts.
> Step 4 - Create the Release Candidate
>
> Now, for each release candidate, we will tag from that branch. Assuming that 
> this is RC1:
> git checkout Metron_0.[FR++].0 && git pull
> git tag apache-metron-0.[FR++].0-rc1-incubating
> git push origin —tags
>
> Now, we must grab the release candidate binary from the github releases page 
> (https://github.com/apache/incubator-metron/releases). In our case, for RC1, 
> that would be 
> https://github.com/apache/incubator-metron/archive/apache-metron-0.[FR++].0-rc1-incubating.tar.gz
>  We will refer to this as the release candidate tarball.
> The artifacts for a release (or a release candidate, for that matter) are as 
> follows:
> Release (candidate) Tarball
>  MD5 hash of the release tarball (md5 apache-metron-Now, we must grab the 
> release candidate binary from the github releases page 
> (https://github.com/apache/incubator-metron/releases). In our case, for RC1, 
> that would be 
> https://github.com/apache/incubator-metron/archive/apache-metron-0.[FR++].0-rc1-incubating.tar.gz
>  We will refer to this as the release candidate 
> tarball.-rc1-incubating.tar.gz > 
> apache-metron-0.[FR++].0-rc1-incubating.tar.gz.md5)
>  SHA1 hash of the release tarball (gpg --print-md SHA1 
> apache-metron-0.[FR++].0-rc1-incubating.tar.gz > 
> apache-metron-0.[FR++].0-rc1-incubating.tar.gz.sha)
> GPG signature of release tarball by the release manager
>  Assuming your public code signing key is 0xDEADBEEF, so signing for me would 
> be: gpg -u 0xDEADBEEF --armor --output 
> apache-metron-0.[FR++].0-rc1-incubating.tar.gz.asc --detach-sig 
> apache-metron-0.[FR++].0-rc1-incubating.tar.gz
> If you do not know your code signing key as release manager, you must follow 
> the instructions at https://www.apache.org/dev/release-signing.html#generate
> Note: You only need the -u arg if you have more than one public/private key 
> pair generated. If you have forgotten it, you can find it from the output of 
> gpg —fingerprint. It’s the last 4 bytes from the key fingerprint.
> The LICENSE file from the release tarball
> The KEYS file from the release tarball
> The DISCLAIMER file from the release tarball
> A CHANGES file denoting the changes
> We usually construct this by taking the output of git log | grep METRON | sed 
> 's/\[//g' | sed 's/\]//g' | grep -v “http” and removing the JIRAs from the 
> previous releases (it’s in time sorted order so this is easy).

> svn commit -m "Adding artifacts for Metron 0.[FR++].0-RC1 (incubating)”
