Hi Ate, Vkumar,
The switch from the old static repository to Nexus shouldn't have
affected any part of the release:prepare or release:perform process
performed by Maven other than the actual url used in the
distributionManagement. The only steps that change are _after_ the
artifacts are made and signed and deployed, where you would close and
then later promote the repository.
So the question is, did the portals project produce the signatures for
previous releases, and if so, how?
No.
The releases of these portals/portals-pom and portals/applications-pom projects
using Nexus were the first (1.0).
Therefore, we assumed (maybe incorrectly) that by following all the guidelines of setting up these poms and the releasing steps as
indicated, the signing of the artifacts would now also be done more or less "automatically".
AFAIK, we literally followed all instructions, and after again reviewing our poms I can't find anything different or wrong from the examples
given.
The maven release document isn't intended to be a master document on how
to setup a project from scratch to generate everything correctly...but
perhaps that is what is needed for new projects. I'll have to look at
your poms to figure out what might be wrong.
If you coould do that, much appreciated.
Another pair of eyes might detect something obvious we simply overlooked.
Signing the artifacts after the fact is definately more complicated
since the system isn't setup for direct manipulation of the artifacts by
committers. It should be possible via a script to gen and upload the
signatures though, so I'll work that out.
OK, great. Please keep us posted.
Regards,
Ate

Hi Brian, Wendy,
Just looked at the released poms and there are no gpg signatures indeed.
What I'm surprised about is how those are not "automatically"
generated when following the Nexus release instructions as described
here:
http://maven.apache.org/developers/release/releasing.html
Vivek has been following those instructions to the letter (we've
actually went to those together as this is the first time Portals used
Nexus for a release) and AFAIK our poms have all the required plugin
configurations needed as described, including the "release" profile
and the maven-gpg-plugin configuration.
So, 3 questions:
- is something missing from the release instructions (see above)
- or did we forget/overlook an essential step (please indicate which
and where)
- what is the practical quick solution to provide the gpg signatures
"after the fact" (using Nexus)
Regards,
Ate
