1. update project.xml and etc/project-dependencies/*.xml in all projects to 2.0-Mx

2. delete old versions of jars from shared/lib

3. checkout to a clean directory

4. build with tests on all db platforms (hsql, mysql, oracle...)

5. test running app in Tomcat

6. build with Hypersonic
    maven -o allClean allBuild
    maven -o quickStart

7. From Tomcat dir, make a copy of the binary release in format:
    {tomcat-root}
        |
        | - webapps/jetspeed 
        | - jetspeed.xml
        | - conf/Catalina/localhost/jetspeed.xml
        | -
        | - jetspeed-database
               |- hsql
                   -| Production
               |
               |- scripts

            - start-database.sh
            - start-database.bat
            - hsqldb-1.7.1.jar

   remove everything else but the files above making an overlay

8. create a windows zip and unix tar.gz of the directory named:

    jetspeed-2.0-M1.zip
    jetspeed-2.0-M1.tar.gz

9. create the README for the specific version, see docs/release/JETSPEED-README-2.0-M1.txt

10. tag the release from Eclipse or command line using tag format:
 
      JETSPEED-RELEASE-2-0-M1

11. get a clean checkout, don't build anything

12. create a tar and zip of the entire build directory jakarta-jetspeed-2 named:

    jetspeed-2.0-M1-src.tar.gz
    jetspeed-2.0-M1-src.zip

13. Sign the distributions

    distribution dir == /www/www.apache.org/dist/portals/jetspeed-2/

    a. Download the KEYS from the distribution directory 
    b. Export your public key 
                                        
        gpg --list-sigs <your name> >> KEYS
        gpg --armor --export <your name>) >> KEYS

    b. Add the contents of th KEYS to your public ring 

        gpg --import KEYS

    c. Generate the .asc files using:

        gpg -sab jetspeed-2.0-M1.zip
        gpg -sab jetspeed-2.0-M1.tar.gz
        gpg -sab jetspeed-2.0-M1-src.zip
        gpg -sab jetspeed-2.0-M1-src.tar.gz

    d. Generate the .md5 hashes:

        openssl md5 < jetspeed-2.0-M1.zip > jetspeed-2.0-M1.zip.md5
        openssl md5 < jetspeed-2.0-M1.tar.gz > jetspeed-2.0-M1.tar.gz.md5
        openssl md5 < jetspeed-2.0-M1-src.zip > jetspeed-2.0-M1-src.zip.md5
        openssl md5 < jetspeed-2.0-M1-src.tar.gz > jetspeed-2.0-M1-src.tar.gz.md5

    e. upload the files to the distributions directory

 14. Create Symbolic Links to Current
