## Create GPG KEY

> Each release manager only creates a GPG KEY for the first release, which can be reused for subsequent releases.

**1. Create KEY**

Install [GnuPG](https://www.gnupg.org/download/index.html).

Follow [OpenPGP KEY Management](https://www.gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg/OpenPGP-Key-Management.html#OpenPGP-Key-Management) [1] instructions.

```shell
gpg --full-gen-key
```

Steps (the following are from console output).

```shell
gpg (GnuPG) 2.2.4; Copyright (C) 2017 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This is free software: you are free to change and redistribute it.
There is NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by law.

Please select what kind of key you want:
  (1) RSA and RSA (default)
  (2) DSA and Elgamal
  (3) DSA (sign only)
  (4) RSA (sign only)
Your selection? 1
RSA keys may be between 1024 and 4096 bits long.
What keysize do you want? (2048) 4096
Requested keysize is 4096 bits
Please specify how long the key should be valid.
        0 = key does not expire
     <n>  = key expires in n days
     <n>w = key expires in n weeks
     <n>m = key expires in n months
     <n>y = key expires in n years
Key is valid for? (0)
Key does not expire at all
Is this correct? (y/N) y

GnuPG needs to construct a user ID to identify your key.

Real name: （Set username）(use your apache id)
Email address: （Set email address） (use your apache email)
Comment: （Fill in the comments）
You selected this USER-ID:
   "username (comments) <email>"

Change (N)ame, (C)omment, (E)mail or (O)kay/(Q)uit? O
You need a Passphrase to protect your secret key. （Set password）
```

**2. Verify KEY**

Follow [Operational GPG Commands](https://www.gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg/Operational-GPG-Commands.html#Operational-GPG-Commands) [2] instructions.

```shell
gpg --list-keys
```

Output：

```shell
pub   rsa4096 2019-03-11 [SC]
      095E0D21BC28CFC7A8B8076DF7DF28D237A8048C
uid           username (comments) <email>
sub   rsa4096 2019-03-11 [E]
```

Public key is `095E0D21BC28CFC7A8B8076DF7DF28D237A8048C`.

**3. Upload public key**

Follow [Dirmngr Options](https://www.gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg/Dirmngr-Options.html#Dirmngr-Options) [3] instructions.

```shell
gpg --send-key 095E0D21BC28CFC7A8B8076DF7DF28D237A8048C
```

## Publish Prepare Work

**1. Publish with a new Tag**

Download and install [Git](https://git-scm.com/downloads).

Create tag and switch to `${PUBLISH.VERSION}`.

```shell
git clone https://github.com/apache/shenyu-client-golang.git ~/shenyu-client-golang
cd ~/shenyu-client-golang/
git checkout master
git tag -a ${PUBLISH.VERSION} -m "${PUBLISH.VERSION} release shenyu client golang"
```

Submit the code with updated version number and new tags.

```shell
git push origin --tags
```

## Publish to SVN dev repository

Install [SVN](https://tortoisesvn.net/downloads.html).

**1. Update KEYS file**

> If the release manager has not yet appended his or her public key to the KEYS file, do the following. Otherwise, skip this step.

Follow [signing basics](https://infra.apache.org/release-signing.html#signing-basics) [5] instructions.

```shell
mkdir -p ~/keys/release/
cd ~/keys/release/
svn --username=${LDAP ID} co https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/shenyu
cd ~/keys/release/shenyu
gpg -a --export ${GPG username} >> KEYS
svn --username=${LDAP ID} commit -m "append to KEYS"
```

**2. Adding source code packages and binary packages**

Follow [Uploading packages](https://infra.apache.org/release-publishing.html#uploading) [6] instructions.

```shell
mkdir -p ~/svn_release/dev/
cd ~/svn_release/dev/
svn --username=${LDAP ID} co https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/shenyu
mkdir -p ~/svn_release/dev/shenyu/shenyu-client-golang/${PUBLISH.VERSION}
git archive --format=tar  --prefix=shenyu-client-golang-${PUBLISH.VERSION}/ ${PUBLISH.VERSION} | gzip > shenyu-client-golang-${PUBLISH.VERSION}-src.tar.gz
cd ~/svn_release/dev/shenyu/shenyu-client-golang/${PUBLISH.VERSION}
cp -f ~/shenyu/shenyu-client-golang/*.src.tar.gz ~/svn_release/dev/shenyu/shenyu-client-golang/${PUBLISH.VERSION}
cp -f ~/shenyu/shenyu-client-golang/*.src.tar.gz.asc ~/svn_release/dev/shenyu/shenyu-client-golang/${PUBLISH.VERSION}
```

**3. Adding hashes**

Follow [Requirements for cryptographic signatures and checksums](https://infra.apache.org/release-distribution#sigs-and-sums) [7] instructions.

```shell
shasum -a 512 shenyu-client-golang-${PUBLISH.VERSION}-src.tar.gz  > shenyu-client-golang-${PUBLISH.VERSION}-src.tar.gz.sha512
```

**4. Submit the new release**

```shell
cd ~/svn_release/dev/shenyu/shenyu-client-golang
svn add ${PUBLISH.VERSION}/
svn --username=${LDAP ID} commit -m "release shenyu-client-golang ${PUBLISH.VERSION}"
```

## Check Release

**1. Verify sha512 checksum**

Follow [Checking Hashes](https://www.apache.org/info/verification.html#CheckingHashes) [8] instructions.

```shell
shasum -c shenyu-client-golang-${PUBLISH.VERSION}-src.tar.gz.sha512
```

**2. Verifying GPG Signatures**

Follow [Checking Signatures](https://www.apache.org/info/verification.html#CheckingSignatures) [9] instructions.

```shell
curl https://downloads.apache.org/shenyu/KEYS >> KEYS
gpg --import KEYS
cd ~/svn_release/dev/shenyu/shenyu-client-golang/${PUBLISH.VERSION}
gpg --verify shenyu-client-golang-${PUBLISH.VERSION}-src.tar.gz.asc shenyu-client-golang-${PUBLISH.VERSION}-src.tar.gz
```

**3. Ensure that SVN is consistent with GitHub source code**

Follow [Incubator Release Checklist](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/INCUBATOR/Incubator+Release+Checklist) [10] instructions.

```
wget https://github.com/apache/shenyu-client-golang/archive/v${PUBLISH.VERSION}.zip
unzip v${PUBLISH.VERSION}.zip
mv shenyu-client-golang-${PUBLISH.VERSION} shenyu-client-golang-${PUBLISH.VERSION}-src
unzip shenyu-client-golang-${PUBLISH.VERSION}.zip
diff -r -x "shenyu-examples" -x "shenyu-integrated-test" -x "static" shenyu-client-golang-${PUBLISH.VERSION}-src shenyu-client-golang-${PUBLISH.VERSION}
```

**4. Check the source code package**

Follow [Incubator Release Checklist](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/INCUBATOR/Incubator+Release+Checklist) [10] instructions.

- `LICENSE` and `NOTICE` files exist

  - If the dependency is an Apache license and there are `NOTICE` files, then these `NOTICE` files need to be added to the project's `NOTICE` file

**5. Check the binary package**

Follow [Binary distributions](https://infra.apache.org/licensing-howto.html#binary) [11] instructions.

- `LICENSE` and `NOTICE` files exist
