Don't know the exact details for Lucene.Net but the general approach is likely always the same. * Make sure your PGP key is inside the KEYS file people will use to check the artifacts * tag the tree that is going to become the release (svn cp trunk tags/2.9.4RC1 - or something like that) * build the release artifacts, hash and sign them * upload the release artifacts to you personal "homepage" on people.apache.org * call for a vote on this list listing the svn tag (including the revision number would be good) and the location where to find the artifacts. * if the vote fails, adapt and start with a new tag (incrementing the number after the RC) * if the vote passes, copy the tag to 2.9.4 without any RC, copy the artifacts to your incubator dist area, wait for a few hours to allow the mirrors to catch up, update download page and publish it, announce wherever you feel it is appropriate Stefan
