JMeter releases are now published using svnpubsub.

For release votes, the files are uploaded to the dev/jmeter tree at https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/jmeter/

If the vote succeeds, they are renamed to the release directory at https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/jmeter/ which is automatically published to the ASF mirror system.

...

The files should now be available under https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/jmeter/

Checks to do before sending vote email

Vote on release

*** This section is outdated ***

• Install the site docs:

Create docs branch

The site documentation now needs to be copied to the appropriate branch directory from the tag.
\[Note: if the vote fails, the branch will need to be removed and recreated\]

svn cp -m"Create docs branch"

cd ~/public_html/jmeter-2.8RC1/
svn export https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jmeter/tags/v2_8_RC1/docs docs

...

 https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jmeter/branches/docs-2.8/

The Javadocs are not yet part of SVN at this point. For simplicity when reviewing the release candidate, they should be added to the docs branch here

...

:

cd $HOME
cp  ~/public_html/jmeter-2.8RC1/dist/apache-jmeter-2.8.tgz $HOME
tar xfz apache-jmeter-2.8.tgz
cd apache-jmetersvnmucc put -m "Add Javadocs" docs/api https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jmeter/branches/docs-2.8/docs/
mv api ~/public_html/jmeter-2.8RC1/docs/api
cd $HOME
rm -r $HOME/apache-jmeter-2.8
api

It would be possible to add them directly to the live SVN directory later, but they need to be available for review, so it's easiest to create the branches/docs-m.n/docs tree as an exact copy of what will be released.
