A process-package phase seems to make sense (to match prepare-package) - which would be where the tycho metadata step would appear. Sequencing the generation of .asc files has been a problem in the past, so it might be a good idea. If that existed, it's probably also where you'd sign something though, so you're back in the same situation - though you'd have the leeway of doing it in package as you would now and it seems it would work out. I don't know if I'd go to adding both a sign and then process step - it seems like a better overall solution is if the packaging goals are able to be extended in some way to do the signing right after they are generated (which also allows no Maven modifications). - Brett -- Brett Porter br...@apache.org http://brettporter.wordpress.com/ http://au.linkedin.com/in/brettporter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org
