bibin sebastian commented on KAFKA-7131:
----------------------------------------
[~mjsax], i have a question on the scope of the work.
Is the ask is to automate all what is suggested below (as mentioned in the
release.py) ?
* Grab the source archive and make sure it compiles:
http://home.apache.org/~%(apache_id)s/kafka-%(rc_tag)s/kafka-%(release_version)s-src.tgz
* Grab one of the binary distros and run the quickstarts against them:
http://home.apache.org/~%(apache_id)s/kafka-%(rc_tag)s/kafka_2.11-%(release_version)s.tgz
* Extract and verify one of the site docs jars:
http://home.apache.org/~%(apache_id)s/kafka-%(rc_tag)s/kafka_2.11-%(release_version)s-site-docs.tgz
* Build a sample against jars in the staging repo: (TODO: Can we get a
temporary URL before "closing" the staged artifacts?)
* Validate GPG signatures on at least one file:
wget
http://home.apache.org/~%(apache_id)s/kafka-%(rc_tag)s/kafka-%(release_version)s-src.tgz
&&
wget
http://home.apache.org/~%(apache_id)s/kafka-%(rc_tag)s/kafka-%(release_version)s-src.tgz.asc
&&
wget
http://home.apache.org/~%(apache_id)s/kafka-%(rc_tag)s/kafka-%(release_version)s-src.tgz.md5
&&
wget
http://home.apache.org/~%(apache_id)s/kafka-%(rc_tag)s/kafka-%(release_version)s-src.tgz.sha1
&&
wget
http://home.apache.org/~%(apache_id)s/kafka-%(rc_tag)s/kafka-%(release_version)s-src.tgz.sha512
&&
gpg --verify kafka-%(release_version)s-src.tgz.asc
kafka-%(release_version)s-src.tgz &&
gpg --print-md md5 kafka-%(release_version)s-src.tgz | diff -
kafka-%(release_version)s-src.tgz.md5 &&
gpg --print-md sha1 kafka-%(release_version)s-src.tgz | diff -
kafka-%(release_version)s-src.tgz.sha1 &&
gpg --print-md sha512 kafka-%(release_version)s-src.tgz | diff -
kafka-%(release_version)s-src.tgz.sha512 &&
rm kafka-%(release_version)s-src.tgz* &&
echo "OK" || echo "Failed"
* Validate the javadocs look ok. They are at
[http://home.apache.org/~%(apache_id)s/kafka-%(rc_tag)s/javadoc/]

> Key: KAFKA-7131
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-7131
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Matthias J. Sax
> Assignee: bibin sebastian
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: newbie
>
> When a release is finalized, we send out an email to announce the release.
> Atm, we have a template in the wiki
> ([https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Release+Process|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Release+Process]).
> However, the template needs some manual changes to fill in the release
> number, number of contributors, etc.
> Some parts could be automated – the corresponding commands are document in
> the wiki already.
