gpg help, please
Following the instructions at http://www.apache.org/dev/publishing-maven-artifacts.html, I have downloaded gnupg and run mvn clean install -Papache-release I get a gpg error: gpg: no default secret key: No secret key gpg: signing failed: No secret key How do I configure gpg or point it to a default secret key, or whatever? Thanks, Michelle
Re: gpg help, please
I haven't tried this particular profile. The only thing I can think of is that you need to have some other command line parameter to allow maven to get your private (key) password. You cannot pass your password on the command line because anyone who does ps-ef can see your password in the plain. So it has to be some file or you type it into the maven command. It may be that you need to configure the nexus repository to do this. I use the Maven release plugin to release DataNucleus and following the Sonatype guide(s) I ended up editing the users .m2/settings.xml with (something like) profiles profile iddevelopment/id properties gpg.passphraseYOURPASSPHRASE/gpg.passphrase /properties /profile /profiles activeProfiles activeProfiledevelopment/activeProfile /activeProfiles and so I never have to enter the passphrase at release.
