Ah, I see how that works now. I was using the apache-release profile
but it also needed to be configured with <gpg.keyname> as well.
(Actually I found I needed to run my own gpg-agent too -- "eval
'gpg-agent --daemon'" -- anyone think that sounds wrong? checking
before I add it to the wiki.)
I now get:
[INFO] [INFO] [gpg:sign {execution: default}]
[INFO] gpg: WARNING: "--no-use-agent" is an obsolete option - it has no effect
[INFO] Warning: using insecure memory!
You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
user: "Sean Owen <sro...@apache.org>"
4096-bit RSA key, ID 021F6670, created 2009-10-16
[INFO] gpg: cancelled by user
[INFO] gpg: skipped "Sean Owen": General error
[INFO] gpg: signing failed: General error
Is that not the right keyname? that previously worked locally (where I
had to supply the passphrase manually). I tried "Sean Owen" too with
the same result.
So our build instructions also talk about this mahout_release profile,
which doesn't seem to be used? is that out of date?
We seem to be stuck just in the release process in three different
ways. Grant is stuck on long-mode and the release profile or
something. I am both stuck on this gpg issue on people.apache.org, and
on some possible svn.apache.org problem locally.
I've done about a full day of head-banging on this and am ready to
throw in the towel. If we are truly dead in the water with the release
process... is there any kind soul to appeal to here?
