Can you elaborate more on what you mean here? I've been on the Maven PMC for over a year now and this is the first I've heard of it. We do support signing of artifacts and all the maven releases are signed. We obviously don't control all the other Apache projects in a way to enforce that they sign their artifacts. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
