Introduce a helper script for preparing RCs.
This is a bit piecemeal at the moment, but automates preparation of RC
artifacts created with `./build-artifact` for upload to bintray.
Basic docs are provided for preparing an RC, but more glue scripting is
still needed to make the process as smooth and automated as the main
aurora release.

When this completes, debs will be placed in `dist/builder/deb/ubuntu-trusty/`.
+### Creating a release candidate
+
+Release candidates are hashed and signed binaries that are uploaded to bintray for
+easy access and testing by voters. You will need to have a [bintray](https://bintray.com/)
+account and a generic repo created for the purpose of uploading the release candidate binaries
+in order to proceed.
+
+#### Cut a branch and build the binaries
+
+The example below is for the 0.12.0 release where upstream is https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/aurora-packaging:
+
+ git checkout -b 0.12.x upstream/master
+
+Now run the [Building a binary](#building-a-binary) procedure detailed above.
+
+#### Hash, sign and upload the binaries
+
+Run the following which will create a tarball for each distribution platform that can be uploaded to bintray:
+
+ ./build-support/release/release-candidate
+ Signing artifacts for centos-7...
+ Created archive for centos-7 artifacts at /home/jsirois/dev/aurora/jsirois-aurora-packaging/artifacts/aurora-centos-7/dist/rpmbuild/RPMS/upload.tar.
+ Signing artifacts for debian-jessie...
+ Created archive for debian-jessie artifacts at /home/jsirois/dev/aurora/jsirois-aurora-packaging/artifacts/aurora-debian-jessie/upload.tar.
+ Signing artifacts for ubuntu-trusty...
+ Created archive for ubuntu-trusty artifacts at /home/jsirois/dev/aurora/jsirois-aurora-packaging/artifacts/aurora-ubuntu-trusty/upload.tar.
+ All artifacts prepared for upload to bintray.
+
+In the bintray UI, create a new version in your release-candidate repo, for example '0.12.0'. Then, in the version UI you can
+upload the tarballs, ensuring you select 'Explode this archive'.
+
+
+
+Finally, 'publish' the results.
+
+
+
### Adding a new distribution platform
There are only two requirements for a 'builder' to satisfy:
