+
+General preparations before any publishing:
+1 - Generate a standard Tomcat release (ant release)
+2 - Copy mvn.properties.default to mvn.properties and adjust it as necessary.
+    You will need to set asf.ldap.username and you'll probably need to set
+    gpg.exec
+    The other properties should be OK. Note: you will be prompted for your
+    GPG pass-phrase and LDAP password when the script runs.
+
+To publish a snapshot do the following:
+1 - ant -f mvn-pub.xml deploy-snapshot
+    This populates
+    https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/snapshots/org/apache/tomcat/
+
+To release do the following:
+1 - ant -f mvn-pub.xml deploy-release
+    that step creates a staging area in
+    https://repository.apache.org/index.html#stagingRepositories
+2 - check the upload and then close the repository
+3 - include the repository in the VOTE thread
+4 - in https://repository.apache.org/index.html#stagingRepositories release it
