Ahah - thanks. It has been a while since I've done a maven release (3 months?) and I used password-based authentication at the time.

I was reading this: http://maven.apache.org/developers/release/apache-release.html and noticed the 'gpg.passphrase' property (first preformatted block in that page). I set it to what I think is my passphrase and it is not working - it keeps asking me to type in my password :/ But, I added my key to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys and all appears to be working now - thanks for the help! > And replying out-of-order to your follow-up question: the > release-profile is the default profile activated by release plugin if > useReleaseProfile is true (see > http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-release-plugin/).

Gotcha, thanks. Les
