Hi Jiajia,
you can test the release build by running the "dryRun". This shows at
least if the release build works.
You need a GPG key, for the "dryRun" you can use any but for a real
release a strong one is required [3].
You should also prepare your Maven settings.xml, [1] shows an example.
Then run the dryRun release build with
mvn release:prepare -DdryRun=true -B
This runs a simulation of the release build, it generates lot of
pom.xml.tag and pom.xml.next that would be committed by the real release
build. You can cleanup the generated files with
mvn release:clean
You can also look into [1] how the release is done for the LDAP API, for
Kerby it will look similar. Further information about ASF wide release
requirements can be found under [2], [3], [4].
Kind Regards,
Stefan
