 # Releasing (PENDING CHANGES for ASF)
 
 1. Ensure that the revision you're about to promote has been successfully 
built on [CI](https://github.com/apache/groovy-geb/actions).
-1. Update the version to the required one (usually just dropping -SNAPSHOT) in 
`buildSrc/src/main/groovy/geb.coordinates.gradle` file.
-1. Change `{geb-version}` expression used in `History` section in 
`140-project.adoc` to a fixed version (the one that you're about to release).
-1. Commit with message "Version «number»" (don't push yet)
-1. Tag commit with name "v«number»" (still don't push yet)
-1. Run `./gradlew publishJarsAndManual closeAndReleaseStagingRepositories`
-1. Wait for the new version to [appear in Maven 
Central](http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cgav%7C1%7Cg%3A%22org.gebish%22%20AND%20a%3A%22geb-core%22),
 this might take several hours.
+2. Checkout the release branch for the version you're building (e.g. `git 
checkout GEB_8_0_X`)
+3. Update the version to the required one (usually just dropping -SNAPSHOT) in 
`buildSrc/src/main/groovy/geb.coordinates.gradle` file.
+4. Change `{geb-version}` expression used in `History` section in 
`140-project.adoc` to a fixed version (the one that you're about to release).
+5. Commit with message "Version «number»" (don't push yet)
+6. Tag commit with name "v«number»" (still don't push yet)
+7. Run `./gradlew distSrc signDistSrc`
+8. If you haven't already, checkout or update a local copy of the groovy-dev 
subversion repository from 
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/groovy-dev to a local directory of 
your choice.
+    1. For example, `svn checkout 
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/groovy ~/groovy-dev` to check it out for 
the first time.
+    2. If you have already checked it out, `cd` into that directory and update 
it with `svn update`.
+9. Copy the artifacts from build/distributions to the appropriate subdirectory 
of your groovy-dev checkout (from the command above).
+    1. For example: `cp build/distributions/apache-groovy-geb* 
~/groovy-dev/geb/${GEB_VERSION}`
+10. Update the subversion repository with the appropriate subversion commands. 
For example:
+    1. `cd ~/work/groovy-dev`
+    2. `svn add geb/${GEB_VERSION}`
+    3. `svn commit --username [email protected] -m "New Geb 
version ${GEB_VERSION} added to staging area"`
+11. `git push` the version branch and tag to GitHub
+12. `read -s APACHE_PW` and enter your password at the prompt
+13. Run `./gradlew --no-build-cache publishJarsAndManual -x 
:integration:geb-gradle:publishPlugins -PapacheUser=jonnybot 
-PapachePassword="${APACHE_PW}"`
+14. Start the vote process on the groovy-dev mailing list. It will need at 
least 72 hours of remaining open and receive at least three affirmative votes 
from the Groovy PMC. See the [Apache Voting 
process](https://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html) for more detail. 
Mention significant breaking changes if there are any.
+15. Assuming the vote passes (at least three +1 votes from the PMC), you can 
take the following steps to finalize the release.
+16. Email the vote thread to note that the vote has passed, with a final tally 
of the votes.
+17. Ask a member of the PMC to copy the artifacts from the staging directory 
in subversion to `groovy-release/geb/${VERSION}` and commit them to subversion, 
as above.
+18. Ask a member of the PMC to release the staging repository at 
https://repository.apache.org/#stagingRepositories
+19. Release the Gradle plugins with `./gradlew 
:integration:geb-gradle:publishPlugins`
