Problem: mvn install requires GPG passphrase

[msteinhoff]

When I want to execute mvn install, this happens:

[INFO] Building jar: /Users/msteinhoff/Work/Projects/zeromq/jzmq/jzmq-jni/target/jzmq-jni-3.1.1-SNAPSHOT-javadoc.jar
[INFO]
[INFO] --- maven-gpg-plugin:1.4:sign (sign-artifacts) @ jzmq-jni ---
GPG passphrase *

Now, what should happen at this point? I have no idea.

@trevorbernard @c-rack can you help here?

[trevorbernard]

you can skip the signing process with -Dgpg.skip=true I believe. But this should only be done locally.

Jup, this works.

I'll send a PR later to update the documentation.

About the GPG signing, I assume its needed to publish on OSS Nexus / Maven Central? Who owns the private key for this?

You got it

Who owns the private key for this?

My public key can push to the org.zeromq groupId. If you wish, submit a ticket requesting deploy access here: https://issues.sonatype.org/projects/OSSRH

Ah okay, so this is how it works. :)
