replace <rc-version> in the below steps with your rc version, e.g. 1.8.0-rc3

git clone https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/activemq-nms-api.git

ensure versions (csproj files, and package.ps1)

build project

git tag -m “tag <rc-version>” <rc-version> git push origin <rc-version>

svn checkout rc dist dev https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/activemq/activemq-nms-api

create folder for rc, e.g. mkdir <rc-version>

copy all contents from package dir from project into the rc folder.

sign the files, you will find a helper script “sign-release.sh”, invoke it as

./sign-release.sh <rc-version> <your-gpg-password>

commit all files into the rc dist dev repo.
