Description

There have been a few gaps identified in the release manager guide during the 1.4.1 release process. This Jira is to update the guide in the new website with our findings once the release goes out. Current updates required:

• Better docs on doing regular patch releases
• Year in NOTICE file needs to be updated
• Add instructions to create a blank keybox when testing the release signatures
• Sample release email should use the release KEYS file, not dev.
• Supported versions in SECURITY file need to be updated. (obsoleted by HDDS-11671)
• Streamline pre-vote Subversion instructions to:

  svn checkout https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/ozone
  cd ozone
  mkdir "$VERSION-rc$RC"
  cp "$RELEASE_DIR"/* "$VERSION-rc$RC"/
  svn add "$VERSION-rc$RC"
  svn commit -m "Ozone $VERSION RC$RC"
  

• Extract "If an issue is found with the artifacts" to a subsection and add cleanup instructions:
  • remove previous RC artifacts from Subversion
  • discard staging repository from Nexus
• Docker Image:
  • skip ozone-latest
  • use suffix -rocky
