From hadoop HowToRelease at https://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/HowToRelease : Bulk update Jira to unassign from this release all issues that are open non-blockers.
Update the versions in Maven.
mvn versions:set -DnewVersion=4.0.0
or do it manually by editing the pom.xml files. Commit the new versions.
Add a settings.xml in ~/.m2/settings.xml with the appropriate logins.
Create the release branch:
git checkout -b 4.0
Create an annotated (signed) release tag via git.
git tag -s 4.0.0RC0 -m '4.0.0 release candidate 0'
For some reason, I get a message about needing a password. But no password is actually asked for. Perhaps it is supplied by the window manager via its keyring-like program.
Push branch-X.Y.Z and the newly created tag to the remote repo.
git push apache 4.0 4.0.0RC0
Upload the build to Sonatype's servers.
git clean -fdqx . mvn clean deploy -Pdist -DskipTests
The above referenced profiles are not in the htrace profile but in the parent apache profile. Here is a pointer to the parent profile: Apache-18.pom
This will take a while because it needs to upload to the servers. It will ask you for your key password unless you set up a gpg-agent for your local session.
Log into repository.apache.org and go to https://repository.apache.org/#stagingRepositories Select the repo you uploaded earlier. You can browse the files here to verify it looks right. When you are satisfied, click “Close”.
Generate the source tarball via:
mvn clean install -DskipTests assembly:single -Pdist
Generate the side files.
cd target gpg --print-mds htrace-4.0.0-incubating-src.tar.gz htrace-4.0.0-incubating-src.tar.gz.mds gpg --armor --output htrace-4.0.0-incubating-src.tar.gz.asc \ --detach-sign htrace-4.0.0-incubating-src.tar.gz
sftp up to your public_html directory in home.apache.org
cd target echo 'put htrace-4.0.0-incubating-src.tar.gz*' | \ sftp home.apache.org:public_html/htrace-4.2.0-incubating-rc0
Generate release notes via JIRA at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTRACE/ by clicking on the release and then clicking the grey “release notes” button in the top right.

Checkout the current website. It is in svn (that‘s right, subversion). The website is in a distinct location such that when its’ content is svn committed, the commit is published as htrace.incubator.apache.org.
Here is how you'd check out the current site into a directory named htrace.incubator.apache.org in the current directory:
$ svn checkout https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/htrace/site/publish htrace.incubator.apache.org
Next, run the site publishing script at ${HTRACE_CHECKOUT_DIR}/bin/publish_hbase_website.sh. It will dump out usage information that looks like this:
$ ./bin/publish_hbase_website.sh Usage: ./bin/publish_hbase_website.sh [-i | -a] [-g <dir>] [-s <dir>] -h Show this message -i Prompts the user for input -a Does not prompt the user. Potentially dangerous. -g The local location of the HTrace git repository -s The local location of the HTrace website svn checkout Either -i or -a is required. Edit the script to set default Git and SVN directories.
To run the publish site script interactively, here is an example where the git checkout is at ~/checkouts/incubator-htrace and the svn checkout is at ~/checkouts/htrace.incubator.apache.org:
$ ./bin/publish_hbase_website.sh -i -g ~/checkouts/incubator-htrace -s ~/checkouts/htrace.incubator.apache.org/
