-------------------------------
Summary: Improve the preparation_before_release script
Key: BEAM-8117
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-8117
Project: Beam
Issue Type: Sub-task
Components: project-management
Reporter: yifan zou
* Setup GPG keys:
* The preparation_before_release.sh interrupted. Git command failed when
configuring git signing key.
* It required a PMC to add the key in dev@ list, the script doesn’t really
help.
* Apache requires the key has at least 4096 bits, but script generates the
3072b key by default. There were a few options to select the size of the key,
but there was no instruction indicates which option the release manager should
choose.
* *Solution*: I follow the Apache official [release signing
guide|https://www.apache.org/dev/release-signing.html] to generate the RSA keys
then asked a PMC member adding it to the dev and release key list.
* Reference: [GPG Cheat Sheet|http://irtfweb.ifa.hawaii.edu/~lockhart/gpg/]
