+THIS DOCUMENT NEEDS TO BE ADAPTED NOW WE'VE MOVED TO GIT
+
+This document is a work in progress and was created in parallel to the
+release of Apache log4net 1.2.11 and adapted for 2.0.6.
+
+Prereqs
+=======
+
+* make sure you have all the required software around.  For the 2.0.6
+  release this meant
+
+  - you may need a couple of Windows or Linux boxes in order to be
+    able to build all target frameworks.
+
+  - Things you need
+
+    o a Subversion command line client
+
+    o NAnt 0.92 or better http://nant.sourceforge.net/
+
+      Make sure to unblock the ZIP before you extract it.
+
+    o Some recent version of a Java runtime environment (Java5 at
+      minimum)
+
+    o Apache Maven 3.x http://maven.apache.org/
+
+      You may want to set some environment variables like Path (to
+      include Maven's and NAnt's bin directories), M2_HOME and
+      JAVA_HOME to make things easier.
+
+    o .NET Framework 3.5SP1 and SDK 2.0
+
+      As of October 2011 this is available from
+      <http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/netframework/>
+
+    o .NET Framework and SDK 4.0
+
+      As of October 2011 this is available from
+      <http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/netframework/>
+
+    o .NET Core Developer Kit available from https://www.microsoft.com/net/core
+
+    o Mono available from http://www.mono-project.com/download/
+
+      Unfortunately NAnt 0.92 has issues with Mono that is too recent,
+      I used a Ubuntu 14.04 installation and installed NAnt and Mono
+      via the Ubuntu Debian packages. It comes with Mono 3.2.8.
+
+    o Sandcastle Help File Builder with its Dependencies
+
+      As of November 2015 this is available from
+      <https://github.com/EWSoftware/SHFB>
+
+      Install Html Help 1 Compiler by follwoing the instructions
+      during the SGFB installation. It may tell you there'd already be
+      a newer version but SHFB needs this installation anyway.
+
+* Make sure your PGP key is in
+  <https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/logging/log4net/trunk/KEYS> and
+  copy that file to
+  https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/logging/log4net/ .
+
+  You should also upload your key to the keyservers.
+
+* Make sure you have decrypted old-log4net.snk.gpg to old-log4net.snk
+
+Preparing the Stage
+===================
+
+* Make sure the correct version number (2.0.6 right now) is in all
+  the required places.  [yes, there is a lot of duplication]
+
+  - log4net.build: <property name="package.version" value="2.0.6"/>
+  - pom.xml: <version>2.0.6</version>
+  - log4net.nuspec: <version>2.0.6</version>
+  - log4net.shfbproj: <HtmlHelpName>log4net-sdk-2.0.6</HtmlHelpName>
+  - src/AssemblyInfo.cs: many, many AssemblyInformationalVersionAttribute
+  - src/AssemblyVersionInfo.cpp as well as .cs, .vb and .js - twice in
+    each file
+    These files also hold the assembly's copyright statement.  Make
+    sure it includes the current year.
+  - src/Log4netAssemblyInfo.cs: public const string Version = "2.0.6"
+  - src/site/xdocs/download_log4net.xml - many times
+  - netstandard/log4net/project.json -  "version": "2.0.6",
+  - netstandard/log4net.tests/project.json -  "version": "2.0.6",
+
+* Create the site using "nant generate-site" in order to create the
+  RAT report as a side-effect and fix all files that don't have the
+  proper license header.
+
+* Make sure NOTICE corresponds to the general format of
+
+  ,----
+  |Apache log4net
+  |Copyright 2004-{latest} The Apache Software Foundation
+  |
+  |This product includes software developed by
+  |The Apache Software Foundation (http://www.apache.org/).
+  `----
+
+  in particular, check that {latest} is the current year.
+
+* Update the release notes
+
+  - go to the Roadmap View in JIRA
+    <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET#selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.project%3Aroadmap-panel>
+
+  - follow the Release Notes link for the release you are going to
+    create
+
+  - Copy the text to src/site/xdocs/release/release-notes.xml in a new
+    section for the new release and massage it to your liking.
+
+Create the Release
+==================
+
+* Tag the source tree that makes up the release
+
+  $ svn cp -r 1775235 \
+        https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/logging/log4net/trunk \
+        https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/logging/log4net/tags/2.0.6RC1
+
+* Create a fresh working copy of the new tag on the Linux box and copy
+  old-log4net.snk to the root directory.
+
+* Run "nant"
+
+* zip up the bin/mono directory and copy it to the Windows machine
+
+* Create a fresh working copy of the new tag on the Windows box and copy
+  old-log4net.snk as well as nuget.exe to the root directory.
+
+* Extract the contents of the Mono zip to bin/mono
+
+* Run "nant"
+
+* Run SHFB
+
+* Run "nant package"
+
+* sign the distribution files, I used
+
+  $ for i in log4net?2.0.6*; do \
+        md5sum $i > $i.md5 \
+        sha1sum $i > $i.sha1 \
+        sha256sum $i > $i.sha256 \
+        gpg --detach-sign --armor $i; done
+
+* commit the distribution files to dest area of the svn dist
+  repository, i.e to
+  https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/logging/log4net
+  also create a README.html based on the release-notes.
+
+* publish the site build somewhere convenient for you -
+  home.apache.org is a good option
+
+* if you've got set up a myget feed, publish the nuget package
+
+* call for a vote on the log4net-dev list.  It may be a good idea to
+  copy the general list of Logging Services in order to reach more PMC
+  members.
+
+  The following is based on the template used in Commons
+
+  ,----
+  | log4net 2.0.6 RC1 is available for review here:
+  |   https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/logging/log4net
+  |   (revision 17495)

+  | I have tested this with Mono and several .NET frameworks using NAnt.
+  | 
+  | The tag is here:
+  |   https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/logging/log4net/tags/2.0.6RC1
+  |   (revision 1775236)
+  | 
+  | Site:

+  | 
+  | [ ] +1 Release these artifacts

+  | 
+  | Thanks!
+  `----
+
+* If the vote doesn't pass, adapt trunk and start over with tagging
+  the next release candidate
+
+* Once the vote passes:
+
+Publish the Release
+===================
+
+* svn mv the ZIPs, hashes and signatures to
+  https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/logging/log4net/source and
+  https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/logging/log4net/binaries
+  respectively.
+  You can do so using a local working copy of
+  https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist - which tends to be huge, so
+  check out selectively - or using svnmucc.
+
+* create a file README.html holding just the latest news from
+  release-notes.html and svn commit it to
+  https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/logging/log4net
+
+* create a svn tag for the release from the release candidate tag that
+  has been accepted
+
+  $ svn cp -m "1.2.14 release has been accepted" \
+        https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/logging/log4net/tags/1.2.14RC1 \
+        https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/logging/log4net/tags/1.2.14
+
+* publish the nuget package
+
+* wait for the mirrors to catch up before proceeding, this takes
+  several hours
+
+Announce the Release
+====================
+
+* publish the website by copying it to
+  https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/websites/production/logging/content/log4net
+  by convention create a directory named after the release, e.g. copy
+  site to
+  https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/websites/production/logging/content/log4net/log4net-1.2.14
+  Ensure line-feeds are consistent and that the cgi script has the
+  svn:executable property set.
+  Change the .htaccess files and 2.x/2.0.x symlinks in
+  https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/websites/production/logging/content/log4net
+  so they point at your new directory.
+  Copy the download_log4net.html file from the new directory to
+  https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/websites/production/logging/content/log4net
+
+* send an announcement mail at least to
+
+  log4net-dev@logging.apache.org
+  log4net-user@logging.apache.org
+  general@logging.apache.org
+  announce@apache.org
+
+  using your @apache.org email address.  PGP sign the announcement mail.
+
+* mark the version as released in JIRA and create a new version for
+  the next release if necessary
+
+* Add the new version to the DOAP file at
+  https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/logging/log4net/doap_log4net.rdf
+
+* Add the new version to the reporter tool
+  https://reporter.apache.org/addrelease.html?logging
+
+Post-Release Cleanup
+====================
+
+* Delete all artifacts of old releases from
+  https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/logging/log4net
