The Apache Yetus community encourages all committers to help on driving releases. To that end, this section seeks to outline the tools and process you'll use when managing a release. Note that these are our community norms; they do not supersede foundation policy should the two disagree.
First, let‘s review what you’ll need to complete all steps of the process.
While the Yetus project aims to get new contributors involved in as much of the project as possible, ASF policy requires that all Release Managers be committers on the project. As a practical matter, release candidates are staged in a project-specific svn repository that only project committers have write access to.
ASF release policy requires that release manager verification and signing of artifacts take place on hardware you have as much control over as possible. This is because your private signing keys will be involved and those should only be accessible on such hardware, to minimize the exposure to third parties. For more details, see the ASF release policy's relevant text.
Everything distributed by an ASF project must be signed before distribution (ref ASF release policy on releases and supplemental artifacts). The short version of the rationale is that downstream users should be able to verify that the artifacts they make use of were ones blessed by the project PMC. For a longer explanation, see the ASF release signing document's motivation section.
In practice, the requirement for artifact signing is handled via OpenPGP signatures. For all practical purposes, this means you‘ll need to use Gnu Privacy Guard (aka GnuPG or GPG). It also means you’ll need to have a public/private key pair you control that is published in your name. Thankfully, the ASF provides an excellent overview to using GPG in the ASF OpenPGP guide. In particular, if you don't already have a published key be sure to follow the instructions in the section How To Generate A Strong Key.
In addition to the git tools you normally use to interact with the Yetus project, managing a release also requires a properly configured Apache Subversion installation. This additional tool is because both the staging area for release candidates and the final distribution mechanism for PMC approved releases rely on Subversion.
The Subversion project provides a nice set of pointers to installing on various OSes, in most cases via package managers, on their page Apache Subversion Binary Packages. Alternatively, you could start with a source release and manually build the necessary tools by starting at Apache Subversion - Download Source Code.
To create our convenience binary artifact and the Apache Maven plug-ins, you'll need to build both our project docs and all of the individual components. If you usually only work on one part of the project, say Yetus Precommit, this might require some additional programming languages and tools.
All of these tools should be in the Docker container that is launched by using the ./start-build-dev.sh script. If you wish to build outside of the container (not recommended), you will need:
When you first start managing a given release, you'll have to take care of the following tasks. Except for creating the release staging branch, these can be done in any order.
Before attempting to do a release, verify that the documentation, website, etc, has the current year in the copyright notices. Given that fixing that requires a patch, this should be done in advance of other release work!
Like many ASF projects, we provide a single file that downstream folks can use to verify our release artifacts. It‘s located in the project’s distribution area https://downloads.apache.org/yetus. You can read about this file in the ASF guide to release signing section. If your public key is not already included in the KEYS file, you will need to add it. You can either follow the instructions in the previously mentioned guide or those at the top of the actual KEYS file. In any case, you will need to use Subversion to update the KEYS file in the project's distribution area. Note that this area is writable only by the project PMC. If you are not yet on the PMC, your last step should be providing a patch rather than committing.
Example commands:
$ svn co https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/yetus yetus-dist-release $ cd yetus-dist-release $ (gpg --list-sigs <your key name> && gpg --armor --export <your key name>) >> KEYS $ svn diff $ svn commit -m "Added myself to KEYS."
Like the rest of our project activity, we'll use an issue in JIRA to track managing the release. You should create this issue and assign it to yourself. As you make your way through the process of creating and running votes on release candidates, this issue will give you a centralized place to collect pointers to your work.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=12318920&version=12334330 for the URI field and ‘yetus-0.7.0-jira’ for the key.Once you have an issue to track things, you can create the git branch for staging our release. This separate branch will allow you to polish the release while regular work continues on the master branch. You will need to update master for the next SNAPSHOT version and the branch for the release.
Example commands, presuming the release under management is 0.7.0 and the JIRA issue is YETUS-XXX:
$ # Ensure master is up to date $ mvn clean $ git fetch origin $ git status # On branch master # Your branch is behind 'origin/master' by 6 commits, and can be fast-forwarded. # nothing to commit (working directory clean) $ git rebase origin/master First, rewinding head to replay your work on top of it... Fast-forwarded master to origin/master. $ git status # On branch master nothing to commit (working directory clean) $ # create a branch and push without changes $ git checkout -b YETUS-XXX Switched to a new branch 'YETUS-XXX' $ git push origin YETUS-XXX $ # find files we need to update for release $ grep -rl "0.7.0-SNAPSHOT" * 2>/dev/null asf-site-src/pom.xml audience-annotations-component/audience-annotations/pom.xml audience-annotations-component/audience-annotations-jdiff/pom.xml audience-annotations-component/pom.xml pom.xml precommit/pom.xml releasedocmaker/pom.xml shelldocs/pom.xml yetus-dist/pom.xml yetus-maven-plugin/pom.xml yetus-minimaven-plugin/pom.xml
At this point, you should edit the files mentioned above. They must have the version we expect upon a successful release. Search for instances of VERSION-SNAPSHOT and replace with VERSION; e.g., 0.7.0-SNAPSHOT should become 0.7.0:
$ perl -pi -e 's,0.7.0-SNAPSHOT,0.7.0,g' $(find . -type f)
After you are done, create a branch-specific patch and then prepare to update the master branch.
$ git add -p $ git commit -m "YETUS-XXX. Stage version 0.7.0." $ git format-patch --stdout origin/YETUS-XXX > path/to/patches/YETUS-XXX-YETUS-XXX.1.patch $ git checkout master $ grep -rl "0.7.0-SNAPSHOT" * 2>/dev/null asf-site-src/pom.xml audience-annotations-component/audience-annotations/pom.xml audience-annotations-component/audience-annotations-jdiff/pom.xml audience-annotations-component/pom.xml pom.xml precommit/pom.xml releasedocmaker/pom.xml shelldocs/pom.xml yetus-dist/pom.xml yetus-maven-plugin/pom.xml yetus-minimaven-plugin/pom.xml
Now update these files, but this time you should update them for the next minor version's SNAPSHOT. e.g., 0.7.0-SNAPSHOT should become 0.8.0-SNAPSHOT:
$ perl -pi -e 's,0.7.0-SNAPSHOT,0.8.0-SNAPSHOT,g' $(find . -type f)
After you are done, create a patch.
$ git add -p $ git commit -m "YETUS-XXX. bump master version to 0.8.0-SNAPSHOT" $ git format-patch --stdout origin/master > path/to/patches/YETUS-XXX.1.patch
Both of these patch files should be uploaded to your release issue for review. Push them to the repository once the patches get approval.
Depending on how candidate evaluation goes, you may end up performing these steps multiple times. Before you start, you‘ll need to decide when you want each candidate’s vote thread to end. ASF policy requires a minimum voting period of 72 hours (ref ASF Voting Policy), so you should ensure enough padding to complete the candidate generation process in time. Ideally, you would plan to post the vote thread on a Friday morning (US time) with a closing date on Monday morning (US time).
Update JIRA version release date. Browse to the JIRA project version management page https://issues.apache.org/jira/plugins/servlet/project-config/YETUS/versions, mark the version as ‘Release’, and set the release date. Our generated release notes will use this date.
Update your ${HOME}/.m2/settings.xml file to include the Maven snapshot information as indicated on https://www.apache.org/dev/publishing-maven-artifacts.html
Build release artifacts. You should use our convenience script to create the tarballs and markdown documents for a release. Run the following from the release staging branch and inspect the results:
$ mvn --batch-mode clean deploy -Papache-release $ mvn --batch-mode site site:stage $ ls -lah yetus-dist/target/artifacts/*
Check out the staging area for release candidates and make a directory for this candidate, somewhere outside of your working directory. Copy the artifacts from the previous step into place. For example, when working on RC1 for the 0.7.0 release
$ svn co `https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/yetus/` yetus-dist-dev $ cd yetus-dist-dev $ mkdir 0.7.0-RC1 $ cd 0.7.0-RC1 $ cp path/to/yetus/target/RELEASENOTES.md path/to/yetus/target/CHANGELOG.md path/to/yetus/target/*.tar.gz .
While still in the staging area, sign the artifacts and create the needed checksum files:
$ for artifact in *; do echo ${artifact} gpg --use-agent --armor --output "${artifact}".asc --detach-sig "${artifact}" gpg --print-mds "${artifact}" >"${artifact}".mds shasum -a 512 "${artifact}" >"${artifact}".sha512 done
Push the release candidate to staging distribution. This will make the artifacts visible for the vote.
$ cd .. $ svn add 0.7.0-RC1 $ svn commit -m "stage Apache Yetus 0.7.0-RC1" Afterward, the artifacts should be visible via the web under the same URL used when checking out. In the case of 0.7.0-RC1: <https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/yetus/0.7.0-RC1/>
Examine staged maven build. Go to the ASF repository and log in with your asf LDAP credentials. Look for the staging repository with a name that includes “yetus”. Clicking on it will give you a link to an “Open” repository. You can examine the structure in the Nexus API while you're logged in. If it looks essentially correct, “Close” the repository. Refreshing and clicking on the repository will give you a link in the Summary tab that other folks can use to interact with the repository.
Create a short link that should point to some online timezone conversion utility that will point to when the vote will end. ASF votes often use timeanddate.com's Event Time Announcer: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedform.html.
Call a vote on the release candidate. At this point, you have everything you need to call a vote. Your vote thread must contain “[VOTE]” in the subject line, a link to the candidate staging area you created, a source repository commit hash, and voting rules. It should also contain hashes for the artifacts. Here is an example draft for 0.7.0-RC1, update it as appropriate for your release:
Subject: [VOTE] Apache Yetus 0.7.0-RC1 Artifacts are available: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/yetus/0.7.0-RC1/ As of this vote the relevant sha512 hashes are: SHA512 (CHANGELOG.md) = 6dbb09360b3116d12aed275d223f43b50a95e80aab1981d5bb61886ceb4b3b57475c976e9465f3fb28daaf62b8cae113b8ee87eae35a212c861fbc434632073b SHA512 (RELEASENOTES.md) = 72a12eb96f32d35a7660967caf2ce5261bd7829ddc56962c97c7b1e71cebfa026c055258a9db1b475581ca0a3ae13d9f9651724573cacaaad9972a89ff809875 SHA512 (yetus-0.7.0-bin.tar.gz) = 28f8c94fb2e22a70674be6070f63badf98e1b022ee25c171fff9629d82ca899fc7eb509ffee2a5c50f2bec10cbb20632fb9fddcab5ebcf5c2511a3ae7edbc56b SHA512 (yetus-0.7.0-src.tar.gz) = 316cf36c97b301233a9b163c8b8d7ec47bdd3d042b1821820b8ac917e5668e610ec8c35fd438e45a64e05215b183ce1ad7321065883fb84ccac8b4744a7fb73e Source repository commit: 1e8f4588906a51317207092bd97b35687f2e3fa3 Maven staging repository: https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapacheyetus-1011 Our KEYS file is at: https://downloads.apache.org/yetus/KEYS All artifacts are signed with my key (DEADBEEF) JIRA version: https://s.apache.org/yetus-0.7.0-jira Please take a few minutes to verify the release[1] and vote on releasing it: [ ] +1 Release this package as Apache Yetus 0.7.0 [ ] +0 no opinion [ ] -1 Do not release this package because...

Close the vote after the deadline. Once the deadline in the vote thread passes, tally the vote and post a suitable response that changes the subject line to start with “[RESULT]”. If the vote failed, ensure there are issues in JIRA for any problems brought up. When they are closed, repeat the steps for creating a release candidate. If the vote passed, proceed to the Cleanup section
You are free to make whatever checks of our release candidate artifacts suit your use, but before voting, there are certain checks you must perform according to ASF policy. This section will walk you through the required checks and give some guidelines on additional checks you may find useful. Besides the fact that downloading the release artifacts must happen first, generally, you can perform these in any order that suits you.
You will need to download the release candidate files, include the artifacts and accompanying signatures and checksum files. The directory containing them should be in the [VOTE] thread. You can use wget or a similar tool to recursively grab all the files rather than download them one at a time. If you are not familiar with wget, it will create a nested set of directories based on the structure of the hosting site for release candidates.
For example, if we use the URL from our exemplar VOTE email, the process would look like this:
$ wget --recursive --no-parent --quiet 'https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/yetus/0.7.0-RC1/' $ find dist.apache.org/ -type f dist.apache.org//repos/dist/dev/yetus/0.7.0-RC1/CHANGELOG.md dist.apache.org//repos/dist/dev/yetus/0.7.0-RC1/CHANGELOG.md.asc dist.apache.org//repos/dist/dev/yetus/0.7.0-RC1/CHANGELOG.md.sha512 dist.apache.org//repos/dist/dev/yetus/0.7.0-RC1/CHANGELOG.md.mds dist.apache.org//repos/dist/dev/yetus/0.7.0-RC1/index.html dist.apache.org//repos/dist/dev/yetus/0.7.0-RC1/RELEASENOTES.md dist.apache.org//repos/dist/dev/yetus/0.7.0-RC1/RELEASENOTES.md.asc dist.apache.org//repos/dist/dev/yetus/0.7.0-RC1/RELEASENOTES.md.sha512 dist.apache.org//repos/dist/dev/yetus/0.7.0-RC1/RELEASENOTES.md.mds dist.apache.org//repos/dist/dev/yetus/0.7.0-RC1/apache-yetus-0.7.0-bin.tar.gz dist.apache.org//repos/dist/dev/yetus/0.7.0-RC1/apache-yetus-0.7.0-bin.tar.gz.asc dist.apache.org//repos/dist/dev/yetus/0.7.0-RC1/apache-yetus-0.7.0-bin.tar.gz.sha512 dist.apache.org//repos/dist/dev/yetus/0.7.0-RC1/apache-yetus-0.7.0-bin.tar.gz.mds dist.apache.org//repos/dist/dev/yetus/0.7.0-RC1/apache-yetus-0.7.0-src.tar.gz dist.apache.org//repos/dist/dev/yetus/0.7.0-RC1/apache-yetus-0.7.0-src.tar.gz.asc dist.apache.org//repos/dist/dev/yetus/0.7.0-RC1/apache-yetus-0.7.0-src.tar.gz.sha512 dist.apache.org//repos/dist/dev/yetus/0.7.0-RC1/apache-yetus-0.7.0-src.tar.gz.mds dist.apache.org//robots.txt
Lastly, if you haven‘t verified a release before, you’ll need to download and import the public keys for the project's release managers. The public keys are located in the KEYS file that should have been mentioned in the [VOTE] thread announcement. The specific output of the following commands will vary depending on how many release managers there have been and which keys, if any, you have previously imported.
$ curl --output KEYS.yetus --silent 'https://downloads.apache.org/yetus/KEYS' $ gpg --import KEYS.yetus gpg: key 0D80DB7C: "Sean Busbey (CODE SIGNING KEY) <busbey@apache.org>" not changed gpg: Total number processed: 1 gpg: unchanged: 1
ASF policies require that binding votes on releases be cast only after verifying proper licensing and provenance. For specific details, you should read the ASF Release Policy's section entitled What Must Every ASF Release Contain? as well as the informational page What We Sign. The following is a non-normative set of guidelines.
You MUST make sure each of the signatures matches. As noted in the informational page What We Sign, if you don‘t have the signer’s key in your web of trust the output of the verify command will point this out. You should refer to it for guidance. For example, using gpg and taking a fictional source artifact:
$ cd dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/yetus/0.7.0-RC1/ $ gpg --verify apache-yetus-0.7.0-src.tar.gz.asc apache-yetus-0.7.0-src.tar.gz gpg: Signature made Fri Dec 11 11:50:56 2015 CST using RSA key ID 0D80DB7C gpg: Good signature from "Sean Busbey (CODE SIGNING KEY) <busbey@apache.org>"
You MUST make sure the provided hashes match the provided artifact.
$ gpg --print-mds apache-yetus-0.7.0-src.tar.gz >apache-yetus-0.7.0-src.tar.gz.my_mds $ diff apache-yetus-0.7.0-src.tar.gz.mds apache-yetus-0.7.0-src.tar.gz.my_mds $ shasum -a 512 apache-yetus-0.7.0-src.tar.gz >apache-yetus-0.7.0-src.tar.gz.my_sha512 $ diff apache-yetus-0.7.0-src.tar.gz.sha512 apache-yetus-0.7.0-src.tar.gz.my_sha512
You MUST make sure artifacts abide by the ASF Licensing Policy. You should read through the ASF Licensing Policy, especially if your vote will be binding. As a quick guide:
LICENSE and NOTICE file in each artifact that can hold them.LICENSE and NOTICE files must correctly propagate licensing information for bundled products. The Foundation's Licensing HOWTO Guide provides guidance on how these files should be maintained.You SHOULD make sure the source release artifact corresponds to the referenced commit hash in the [VOTE] thread. (This ASF policy is currently in DRAFT status.) The release tag is how we‘ll provide long-term provenance information for our downstream users. Since the release’s source code artifact will be the canonical representation of the release we vote on, it is essential that it matches the contents of the version control system's tag. Given our example above, you can check this with recursive diff.
$ mkdir apache-yetus-0.7.0-src_unpack $ tar -C apache-yetus-0.7.0-src_unpack -xzf apache-yetus-0.7.0-src.tar.gz $ git clone --single-branch --depth=1 --branch YETUS-585 'https://github.com/apache/yetus.git' apache-yetus-0.7.0-RC1-tag $ diff -r apache-yetus-0.7.0-RC1-tag apache-yetus-0.7.0-src_unpack/yetus-project-0.7.0 $ echo $? 0
You MUST make sure any non-source artifacts can be derived from the source artifact. Since the source artifact is the canonical representation of our release, any other artifacts we distribute must be just for the convenience of our downstream users. As such, one must be able to derive them from the source artifact. Currently, you can generate all of the artifacts we distribute for convenience using the same commands used to create the release artifacts.
$ mkdir apache-yetus-0.7.0-src_unpack $ tar -C apache-yetus-0.7.0-src_unpack -xzf apache-yetus-0.7.0-src.tar.gz $ cd apache-yetus-0.7.0-src_unpack/yetus-project-0.7.0 $ mvn clean install
This will create a yetus-dist/target/ directory that contains the tarball binary distribution files.
If you‘ve gone through all of the ASF required checks, you’ll already have made use of both the shelldocs and releasedocmaker components and confirmed that the compilable components successfully compile.
Test Precommit. The smart-apply-patch and test-patch scripts don't get flexed as a part of the above candidate verification. If you have a downstream project you regularly use, it should suffice to attempt local verification of a contribution. If that project happens to be an ASF project with an example personality, this should be as simple as finding an issue in patch-available status.

Test Audience Annotations. If you have a downstream project that relies on the audience annotations project, you should be able to install the jars locally and test with the updated version.

Once a release candidate obtains majority approval from the PMC, there are several final maintenance tasks you must perform to close out the release.
Create shortcut links to the vote thread (e.g., https://s.apache.org/yetus-0.7.0-rc1-vote) and the result (e.g., https://s.apache.org/yetus-0.7.0-vote-passes) that point to the archives on mail-archives.apache.org. Be aware that it may take several hours for the archive to get the posts that need to be referenced.
Produce a signed release tag. You should create a signed tag and push it to the asf repo. The tag‘s message should include ASF-shortened links to the vote and results. It should be named ‘rel/version’ so that it will be immutable due to ASF infra’s git configuration. Presuming we're working on the 0.7.0 release and the RC1 example above has passed:
$ git config --global user.signingkey <your-key-id> # if you've never configured $ git tag --sign rel/0.7.0 1e8f4588906a51317207092bd97b35687f2e3fa3
Example commit message:
YETUS-XXX. tag Apache Yetus 0.7.0 release. vote thread: https://s.apache.org/yetus-0.7.0-rc1-vote results: https://s.apache.org/yetus-0.7.0-vote-passes
Then push:
$ git push origin rel/0.7.0
Add the release to the ASF reporter tool. To make our project reports for the ASF Board easier, you should include the release in the Apache Committee Report Helper website. Be sure to use the date release artifacts first were pushed to the distribution area, which should be the same release date as in JIRA. Note that this website is only available to PMC members. If you are not yet in the PMC, please ask them to add the release information. Additionally, it will not let you set a future date.
Move release artifacts to the distribution area. The release officially happens once the artifacts are pushed to the ASF distribution servers. From this server, the artifacts will automatically be copied to the long-term archive as well as the various mirrors that will be used by downstream users. These must be exactly the artifacts from the RC that passed. Please note that currently, only Yetus PMC members have write access to this space. If you are not yet on the PMC, please ask the PMC to post the artifacts.
$ svn co https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/yetus/ yetus-dist-release $ cd yetus-dist-release $ mkdir 0.7.0 $ cp path/to/yetus-dist-dev/0.7.0-RC1/* 0.7.0 $ svn add 0.7.0 $ svn commit -m "Publish Apache Yetus 0.7.0"
It may take up to 24 hours for the artifacts to make their way to the various mirrors. You should not announce the release until after this period.
Remove candidates from the staging area. Once you have moved the artifacts into the distribution area, they no longer need to be in the staging area and should be cleaned up as a courtesy to future release managers.
$ svn co https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/yetus/ yetus-dist-dev $ cd yetus-dist-dev $ svn rm 0.7.0-RC* D 0.7.0-RC1/apache-yetus-0.7.0-src.tar.gz.sha512 D 0.7.0-RC1/apache-yetus-0.7.0-bin.tar.gz.asc D 0.7.0-RC1/RELEASENOTES.md D 0.7.0-RC1/CHANGELOG.md.mds D 0.7.0-RC1/CHANGELOG.md.sha512 D 0.7.0-RC1/apache-yetus-0.7.0-src.tar.gz D 0.7.0-RC1/RELEASENOTES.md.asc D 0.7.0-RC1/apache-yetus-0.7.0-bin.tar.gz.mds D 0.7.0-RC1/apache-yetus-0.7.0-bin.tar.gz.sha512 D 0.7.0-RC1/apache-yetus-0.7.0-src.tar.gz.asc D 0.7.0-RC1/CHANGELOG.md D 0.7.0-RC1/RELEASENOTES.md.mds D 0.7.0-RC1/CHANGELOG.md.asc D 0.7.0-RC1/RELEASENOTES.md.sha512 D 0.7.0-RC1/apache-yetus-0.7.0-bin.tar.gz D 0.7.0-RC1/apache-yetus-0.7.0-src.tar.gz.mds D 0.7.0-RC1 $ svn commit -m "cleaning up release candidates from Apache Yetus 0.7.0 release process."

Resolve release issue; it should be marked as “fixed.”
Go to the ASF repository and click ‘Release’ to put the RC Maven artifacts into the release repository.
Mark JIRA version as released. Browse to the project version management page for the YETUS JIRA tracker. Mouse over the version you are managing, click on the gear in the far right and select Release.
Delete staging branch. Now that there is an immutable tag for the release, all commits leading up to that release will be maintained by git. Should we need a future maintenance release after this version, we can reestablish the branch based off of the release tag. $ git push origin :YETUS-XXX
Update the Mac OS X Homebrew Formula:
$ vim Formula/yetus.rb $ # change URL point to the new version $ # update the sha256. e.g., shasum -a 256 bin.gz $ # test the formula: $ brew install --build-from-source Formula/yetus.rb # or if you already have it installed: $ brew upgrade --build-from-source Formula/yetus.rb
Update the documentation in the git master branch for the new release. Remove the oldest release and add the latest.
$ cd asf-site-src $ # Add the release to the releases data file $ vim data/versions.yml $ vim data/htaccess.yml $ vim pom.xml $ # add the two stanzas $ git add -p $ git add asf-site-src/pom.xml $ git commit
YETUS-XXX. add release 0.7.0. - list in releases - remove 0.4.0, add 0.7.0 to pom.xml
You should then post this patch for review. Once you‘ve gotten feedback, it’s fine to push the patch to the ASF source repo immediately so long as the updated website is not published.
Publish website updates. After the 24 hour window needed for the release artifacts to make their way to the variety of mirrors, you should render the website and publish it using the instructions found in Maintaining the Yetus Website.
Verify that https://yetus.apache.org/latest.tgz and https://yetus.apache.org/latest.tgz.asc download the newly released version.
Remove old releases from the distribution area. The ASF distribution area should only contain the most recent release for actively developed branches If your release is a maintenance release, delete the prior release. If your release marks the end of maintenance for an earlier minor or major release line, you should delete those versions from the distribution area.
Draft an announcement email. The announcement email should briefly describe our project and provide links to our artifacts and documentation. For example, Subject: [ANNOUNCE] Apache Yetus 0.7.0 release
Apache Yetus 0.7.0 Released!
The Apache Software Foundation and the Apache Yetus Project are pleased to
announce the release of version 0.7.0 of Apache Yetus.
Apache Yetus is a collection of libraries and tools that enable contribution
and release processes for software projects. It provides a robust system
for automatically checking new contributions against a variety of community
accepted requirements, the means to document a well defined supported
interface for downstream projects, and tools to help release managers
generate release documentation based on the information provided by
community issue trackers and source repositories.
This version marks the latest minor release representing the community's
work over the last X months.

Apache Yetus PMC
If you'd like feedback on the draft, feel free to post it for review on your release issue.
Send announcement emails. After the 24 hour window needed for the release artifacts to make their way to the variety of mirrors, you should send the announcement email. The email should come from your apache.org email address and at a minimum should go to the dev@yetus.apache.org list. For details see the ASF Release Policy section How Should Releases Be Announced?. Additionally, you may want to send the announcement to the development lists of downstream projects we know are using Yetus components.
Send tweet. Once the message to dev@yetus.apache.org has made it to the public archive, you should draft a tweet with a link to the announcement. You should use the ASF link shortener and a descriptive name. For example, the 0.7.0 release could use
Apache Yetus 0.7.0 has been released: https://s.apache.org/yetus-0.7.0-announce
This tweet should come from the official @ApacheYetus account. Currently, only PMC members have access to it. If you are not yet on the PMC, please ask for the PMC to post the tweet once your email is available in the archives.
