# Verify Apache Release

To verify the release, following checklist can used to reference:

1. [ ] Download links are valid.
2. [ ] Checksums and PGP signatures are valid.
3. [ ] DISCLAIMER-WIP is included.
4. [ ] Source code artifacts have correct names matching the current release.
5. [ ] LICENSE and NOTICE files are correct for the repository.
6. [ ] All files have license headers if necessary.
7. [ ] No compiled archives bundled in source archive.
8. [ ] Building is OK.

## 1. Download source package, signature file, hash file and KEYS

Download all artifacts, take a.b.c-incubating as an example:

``` shell
wget https://www.apache.org/dyn/mirrors/mirrors.cgi?action=download&filename=/incubator/doris/a.b.c-incubating/apache-doris-a.b.c-incubating-src.tar.gz

wget https://www.apache.org/dist/incubator/doris/a.b.c-incubating/apache-doris-a.b.c-incubating-src.tar.gz.sha512

wget https://www.apache.org/dist/incubator/doris/a.b.c-incubating/apache-doris-a.b.c-incubating-src.tar.gz.asc

wget https://www.apache.org/dist/incubator/doris/KEYS
```

## 2. Verify signature and hash

GnuPG is recommended, which can install by yum install gnupg or apt-get install gnupg.

``` shell
gpg --import KEYS
gpg --verify apache-doris-a.b.c-incubating-src.tar.gz.asc apache-doris-a.b.c-incubating-src.tar.gz
sha512sum --check apache-doris-a.b.c-incubating-src.tar.gz.sha512
```

## 3. Verify license header

Apache RAT is recommended to verify license headder, which can dowload as following command.

``` shell
wget http://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/apache/creadur/apache-rat-0.13/apache-rat-0.13-bin.tar.gz
tar zxvf apache -rat -0.13 -bin.tar.gz
```

Given your source dir is apache-doris-a.b.c-incubating-src, you can check with following command.
It will output a file list which don't include ASF license header, and these files used other licenses.

``` shell
/usr/java/jdk/bin/java  -jar apache-rat-0.13/apache-rat-0.13.jar -a -d apache-doris-a.b.c-incubating-src -E apache-doris-a.b.c-incubating-src/.rat-excudes 
```

## 4. Verify building
