Checkout Master or Branch to Release

mvn install -Dmirage2.on=true

mvn test -Dmaven.test.skip=false 

Do a Dry Run

This step is not required, but performs a useful sanity check without committing any changes. From your clean, up-to-date copy of master/branch, run the following command (from [dspace-src]):

mvn release:prepare -DdryRun=true -Dmirage2.on=true
# NOTE: for DSpace 5.x, the LNI module must be manually specified (-Pdspace-lni) to ensure it is also released

You will have to enter in your GPG passphrase (which you established when you created your Code Signing Key).

mvn release:prepare -Dresume=false -Dmirage2.on=true
# NOTE: for DSpace 5.x, the LNI module must be manually specified (-Pdspace-lni)

(Optionally, you may also include the parameters -Dusername=YourGitHubUsername -Dpassword=YourGitHubPassword at the end of the above command, though I've not found these to be necessary)
