Looking for feedback here... As I stated in an earlier email, I'm not going to be able to do the release candidate build today. However, I'm willing to do it on Tuesday (unless there are objections, or someone else wants to do it today).
As for the process itself, I believe these are the steps that need to be taken (this assumes that we have created / refreshed the 4.0 branch): 1) pull a clean copy of the branch source tree 2) git archive --format zip --output ~/cloudstack-src-4.0.0RC1.zip 4.0 3) git archive 4.0 | tar -czf cloudstack-src-4.0.0RC1.tar.gz 4) build the RPM and DEB packages (I might not be able to do this one for the first round... we might have to stick with the source distro first) 5) sign everything 6) commit the artifacts to the ASF dist svn repo To do the RPM and deb builds, I assume we need to run those processes from an appropriate build server for each type. I can use a Fedora and Ubuntu VM for it in the short term. Am I right or wrong about that requirement (haven't tested yet). I created a dev build distribution directory here: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/cloudstack Source material that I'm using: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/CloudStack+Maintainers+Guide http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html http://httpd.apache.org/dev/release.html We will also want the cloudstack project site to include a download page that uses the ASF mirrors correctly. After I get the first build out there, I'll update that page as well. -chip
