Build Environment

Derby release 10.15.2.0 was built using the following environment:

  • Branch - Source code came from the 10.15 branch.
  • Machine - Mac OSX 10.11.6.
  • Ant - Apache Ant(TM) version 1.10.2 compiled on February 3 2018.
  • Compiler - All classes were compiled by the javac from OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 18.9 (build 11+28, mixed mode).

Verifying Releases

It is essential that you verify the integrity of the downloaded files using the PGP and SHA-512 signatures. SHA-512 verification ensures the file was not corrupted during the download process. PGP verification ensures that the file came from a certain person.

The PGP signatures can be verified using PGP or GPG. First download the Apache Derby KEYS as well as the asc signature file for the particular distribution. It is important that you get these files from the ultimate trusted source - the main ASF distribution site, rather than from a mirror. Then verify the signatures using ...

                % pgpk -a KEYS
% pgpv db-derby-X.Y.tar.gz.asc

or

% pgp -ka KEYS
% pgp db-derby-X.Y.tar.gz.asc

or

% gpg --import KEYS
% gpg --verify db-derby-X.Y.tar.gz.asc


           

To verify the SHA-512 checksums on the files, you need to use a platform-specific program. On Mac OSX, this program is called shasum, on Linux it is called sha512sum, and on Windows it is called CertUtil.

We strongly recommend that you verify your downloads with both PGP and SHA-512.
